Thank u for ur service.

One of my all time favorites. Ive waited for this film since Oct 2006 when I bought a philips BDP9000 blu-ray player they were almost $1,000

I got it for $300

I still have the old girl...

Oliver Stone served in 'Nam so it's not surprising to me how accurate Platoon is. The director made the movie for personal reasons.

Jane Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda.

I wonder who will distribute this? Fox? Sony?

What about The Doors, JFK, and Natural Born Killers? I think those films are excellent. I admit some of his films have sucked but, I think he's a great director and deserves a little more respect then these Michael Bay Fanboys are giving him!

Please, let's not discuss politics here.

I think i am going to go ahead and pre-order this on walmart just in case. Foxconnect has this listed as 29.99. also it looks like it is a blu-ray dvd combo

Moviefan1203 · 03-20-2011, 06:01 PM

Oliver Stone has made some great films in his day, and Platoon is one of them. I cannot wait to add it to my Blu-ray library.

ImportFanatic · 03-23-2011, 06:29 PM

So much for this just being the same barebones release that other territories got!

That's not possible. All those extras are contained on the 2nd disc (of the 2 DVD set).

spawningblue · 03-24-2011, 05:11 PM

Looks like it's missing the main 52 min. doc. "A Tour of the Inferno: Revisiting Platoon". That's really disappointing!

Anybody remember seeing a John C. McGinley impersonation of Oliver Stone in the Platoon extras? Laugh out loud funny.

The print used for the DVD transfer is pretty rough..several scratches and specs. I hope this turns out OK on blu.
