Brewster's Millions (1985) (Walmart Exclusive until May 1, 2017) - Page 5 - Blu-ray Forum

duke4711 · 02-09-2017, 08:10 PM

Are there any special features to speak of here? Just wondering. I haven't seen (or even thought about) this film since I was about 12. From what I remember, it is a pretty good 80s comedy. At any rate, this is one that I'll be picking up. Be nice to revisit it on Blu after so many years.

Special features?

There's not even a main menu.

It's back at $7.50 on wallmart.com for those who want it.

Review is up on the site.

figrin_dan · 02-14-2017, 08:04 AM

Has anyone compared this with the UK version. Are they the same?

geekesmind · 02-14-2017, 09:00 AM

4Dblu · 02-14-2017, 04:26 PM

Got'em $7.50

Now if they jus come out with Bustin' Loose......

duke4711 · 02-14-2017, 05:24 PM

I was in Walmart this morning buying some food, so I took a walk back to the movie/video games section and they had it so I grabbed it. I got the last copy. This officially marks the first time I've ever went into Walmart to pick up one of their exclusives and they actually had it. A red-letter day indeed!

Picked this up today. I was pleasantly surprised to open the case and not see an eco-case.

It's nice to know that they put a lot of thought into this release.

Universal don't do eco-cases. Their new releases (non-catalog titles like this one) invariably come with embossed slip covers as well.

They take a lot of heat around here for using old masters and rightfully so for their old video meddling habits, but to their credit, they get a lot of the little stuff right.

It's a bargain-bin mid-'80s catalog comedy. How much effort do you really think they're gonna expend on something like this?

The A/V quality is surprisingly good, so I can't really complain.

It was rhetorical comment.

I'm confused by this site's review. The movie gets a 4.5; video is 4.0; the sound is 2.0; and the special features are 0. Overall is a 2.5 , but comes recommended by the reviewer. Er... What? If a movie to me is 2.5 overall, I wouldn't even waste a 'Firestick' view on it at all.

It's nice they released it at all.

For $7.50 I'll take a quality a/v presentation like this anytime. Could care less about a menu. And nobody is spending money producing special features for 99.9% of catalog releases in 2017, much less a title like this.

Fairfax · 02-15-2017, 02:06 AM

It is quite amusing to have the film just loop when finishing; what starts as a dream could soon turn into a nightmare...

Anyway, entertaining fluff; mostly holds up (even with flaws in logic, and just the dated 80s nature) and the image is solid enough. Audio was fine; I'm not really an expert in this field so I'll defer to the review, but it's hardly a movie that needs to kill it in that department.

So yes, fine. And even though there are zero extras at least there's subtitles.

nikon76 · 02-15-2017, 12:21 PM

$7.50 is about the same price if not cheaper than a dvd w/ no features so, this will definitely do considering the transfer seems legit.

DMRI2006 · 02-15-2017, 01:50 PM

What's amusing is this was a movie that savaged by critics when it opened and was deemed a box-office disappointment too. In hindsight, though, it seems so much more substantial than the idiotic, bodily-fluid R-rated comedies of today, as Martin Leibman's review on the site discusses. Good fun.
