Very nice!

TK_171 · 08-24-2020, 02:02 PM

Preordered. Thanks for the heads up!

SpeakerToAnimals · 08-24-2020, 02:11 PM

Hell, yeah!

MifuneFan · 08-24-2020, 02:17 PM

Looks kind of ugly to me

Would have probably preferred if the back and front were reversed.

Already have a steelbook that has Struzan’s art on the front, so this is a nice change up.

don3663 · 08-24-2020, 03:50 PM

Interesting idea, but a no from me. Arrow steel is good enough.

SpeakerToAnimals · 08-24-2020, 04:03 PM

I’m hoping the Japanese art on these releases is as different from the UK or US releases as possible. I’ve ordered the Jaws steel but it’s not significantly different from my old steel apart from the text. I’m interested in how a film might have been marketed differently elsewhere. Duel and The Thing fit that bill.

Yeah, I like the fact this is uniquely different from other versions that came before and will probably come after.

This is one of those films I will happily buy different versions of for my collection. Roll on 4K!

And the winner for Worst Steelbook of the Year is....

Actually its in contention for Worst of All Time.

Called it.

Love the original art.

hoejunter · 08-24-2020, 06:52 PM

Ew

Dickieduvet · 08-24-2020, 07:01 PM

Shame it's not 4K, had the original Chirashi poster yrs ago. Always liked the art.

Gorgon · 08-24-2020, 08:29 PM

Interesting, Doc Blair is not in the group photo on the inside art.
So, either he's taking the pic or a bit of foreshadowing there.

Metal Gear · 08-25-2020, 01:52 AM

I've already got 3 different steelbooks for this movie. I might pass since the art isn't very good.

rockyfan · 08-25-2020, 08:29 PM

I love the look of this one. This and Duel are the best looking steelbooks of the year for me.

TK_171 · 10-23-2020, 04:03 PM

Got a dispatch notice this morning

Steelheadz · 10-24-2020, 03:34 PM

I have the Mondo/Zavvi, all blu ray.

Easy pass waiting for a 4K.
