[Resident Evil Labs]

Never seen this one, blind bought it because the trailer looked right up my alley.

The scuttlebutt is that Rutger Hauer was pissed about the monologue because he saw it as Busey wresting the audience’s attention from Hauer and, frankly, he’s not wrong. Rutger is great in the movie, but Busey’s monologue is what stays with you weeks, months, years later when you reminisce about the film.

True and a nice insight! Loved the movie when it was in cinemas and am happy it’s finally released in very good quality, far above the DVD.
Hate the review… 1.5 wtf? Does anyone who does not like the movie buy the Blu Ray? Movie buffs and fans of the movies are your target audience imho. Review the review please by someone who gets what the picture is about!

So this wasn't a "Scream Factory" release, but just a Shout Studios release, right?
