Uncle Sam (1997) - Blu-ray Forum

ArmyOfDarknessAW · 03-02-2010, 06:11 PM

The 1997 horror flick Uncle Sam hits Blu on June 29th. I remember when i was a kid me and my friends rented this and a couple of other horror movies for a all night marathon.....good times. I am really happy Blue Underground is releasing this and i will buy it day one.

I added an attachment with the cover art i got it from Highdefdigest.com.

I never saw it, but the story sounds funny, so I'm sure I'll give it a watch.

CZAR · 03-02-2010, 10:12 PM

I saw this back when it came out also and from what I remember I didnt care for it much. Kinda low budget horror film but not a very good one. Maybe when it comes out I will rent it and watch it again. Got Em!!

Or Maniac Cop. Get me some Bruce Campbell and Tom Atkins. FTW

I agree; we need Maniac on Blu-ray! I've never seen Uncle Sam, but it's a classic, and it's from Blue Underground, so I'll be buying this.

I have the Blue Underground DVD version of this flick so I'll definitely be upgrading to the BRD version - fo-show. This is another x-tra cheesy horror film that is super fun to watch and laugh through. Props to Blue Underground!

This was the last movie I thought would be on blu ray.

Maybe Jack-O will come eventually, after all.

Blu-Curry · 04-04-2010, 08:22 PM

Oh my god, i saw this movie YEARS AGO!!! lol, Back in those days (my childhood) it was quite entertaining. Can't say much about it today though...

kdo · 04-06-2010, 07:59 PM

I've never seen this film, but it looks hysterical

...the trailer, below, is a riot...I may have to see this at some point, if I can get it cheap...

I saw "Jack Frost" about six months before I saw this one. It was the one with Shannon Elizabeth and a killer snowman, not the Michael Keaton one released about the same time. I laughed so hard my lungs hurt. So this movie looked similar (lenticular cover, looked terrible), but I couldn't get a handle on the angle of the movie. Were we supposed to root for zombie Uncle Sam as he killed the non-patriotic teens? Or were we supposed to feel sorry for the victims as they vandalized graves, lit flags on fire and did a bunch of symbolically unpatriotic acts before they were gutted? The movie didn't paint either side as really sympathetic. I'm probably thinking wayyy too much about it. The real question is: When is Jack Frost going to come out on Blu?

"Christmas came early this year..."

I loved Jack Frost but number 2 wasn't that great. I would still buy both if they came to Blu.

The cover-art for those movies were also a riot...Wasn't there one where he goes to the Caribbean or something like that

I just remember seeing one of the dvd covers and he had a 'Lei' around his neck...absolutely hilarious!

Yeah i vaguely remember the 2nd but he was killing in a resort of some sort. It was funny but the first is way better. And i agree the covers are great.

Speaking of your avatar, how 'bout an "Ash vs. Jack Frost" movie? I think that would be top-notch! Ash kicking the crap out of an army of killer snowmen

I agree lol

...and to quote member 'Jaguar007' as he hilariously stated on the 'Flash Gordon and Darkman' forum:

"Anything would be better with Bruce Campbell. Heck, I might even own Titanic if Bruce Campbell were in it to save the sinking ship from the Sea Zombies"
