This thread has gone awfully quiet. I’m really excited about this release.

Given the role that music plays in the film, it would be nice to have both the original mono and a nice 5.1 stereo remix. There are long stretches of the film that play like a music video.

Fixed!

[DocHalsey]

Was tempted to buy this on Blu-ray during the Eastwood birthday flash sale Kino is doing but holding waiting for this release. I’ve never seen this one!

[bondfooll]

Was this release cancelled or something?

[Kyle15]

No, Kino being Kino.

Hopefully Kino will decide to go back to the old authoring house by the time they get to this one.

Huge wishful thinking, knowing them nothing will change.

Shoddy cut-rate encodes and lack of og audio for no discernible reason is the equivalent of a powerfully overweight prom date with brutal, incurable halitosis and a shrill, piercing voice. Any plausible alternatives are going to be appealing and well-considered, right from the go

Excellent! I was actually wondering about this title, and Silent Scream, last night. Great news (even if it's "just" a Kino 4k ).

it’s one of the best scenes in the film, would all these artists be captured otherwise

Never saw that poster on the reverse art before. Interesting. Won’t be flipping that one around, but at least it’s period-correct.

One thing I love about KLSC is they always use the original art. Sure, their 4K encodes aren’t great, and there is almost always going to be an overseas release that improves upon the KLSC release, and their customer service including the KL Insider is prickly at best and insulting and deceitful at worst, but…

Self indulgent shit in a Clint Eastwood film? What are you talking about?

For the record I like this film and will get it, if Kino doesn't screw up the transfer of course.

[Matt89]

I'll wait for reviews but yeah tempted to pick this up. Great film.
