Not sure how it fell out of ownership, but at the time, Final Countdown was one of the three infamous "hostages" (along with Monster Squad and KISS Meets the Phantom) of a company calling itself Pacific Video--
Which claimed to be a "cult video company", but was basically a glorified illegal VHS-dumping bootlegger pretending to be legit, and even the FBI couldn't find their website. (Which they may have been trying to do.)

Monster Squad was later eventually rescued by MGM, but leave it to the REAL cult-video companies to lead the charge in rescuing Countdown.

I can't believe I will be able to watch 'The Final Countdown' on BD so soon. That was one of my favorite movies as a kid

And yes, 'Fire And Ice' does look interesting.

I just can't believe they are releasing Maniac! This is too good to be true.

Yesssss! I admit it, it was one of my favorite movies as well back in the day. Loved those F14's and the concept of a modern Aircraft Carrier going back to WWII before Pearl. I thought it was such a cool idea. Would love to get this, as long as they don't FUBAR the transfer.
