Speed 4K Steelbook (Best Buy Exclusive) - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Hellboy · 03-23-2021, 05:55 PM

Guess I’m in the minority in thinking the art on this one is pretty great. The old Blu-ray Steelbook is boring as hell.

Well, it's certainly... yellow.

And the back art looks like it was taken from an 8 bit video game.

It'll be a happy day indeed when this bloody years-long craze for Mondo-style cartoony art finally blows over. Not a fan.

Pre-ordered.

I dont think the artwork is particularly inspired, but Im not really a big fan of the artwork on the standard either so I'll go with this probably. Plus it seems like the prices on BB are reversed right now - the SB is 27.99 and the regular is 34.99.

Yeah. Disney didn't go out of their way to do a new transfer - Fox actually did a spanking new transfer a few years ago in 2019 (supervised by DeBont) and screened it at Fox. Thank god they did - because I don't think Disney is going to care about older Fox titles getting new transfers.
(The same situation applies to HEAT - the new transfer was already done before Disney hoovered up Fox).
I hope I'm wrong - because (the first) DIE HARD never got a new transfer, and needs one.

Except Heat is a Warner Brothers title.

Fox was behind the 2017 edition of Heat. The one at Walmart even had movie money for Kingsman 2.

While the cover is a bit busy for me, I do love the bus doing a drag race over the 50 MPH line on the speedo! That should have just been the whole cover.

richieb1971 · 03-24-2021, 09:44 PM

I like that the disc is the speedometer.

Preordered!

GasmaskAvenger · 03-25-2021, 03:42 AM

Decided to do a store pick-up order for it, since I had about $26 in my PayPal balance.

Ended up being $4.22 after taxes and whatnot
