I had hopes for this one due to the fact Al Pacino was in it as the head coach. His part was good and he did well in it. Other than that, the movie was laden with F bombs, drug use, profanity every few seconds it seemed, nudity I did not want to see for a sports movie of this kind. This is not a good one to see about a football team. There are so many other ones that are better. Do your research. Even Cameron Diaz uses the F word like it's a normal daily word use. Not a fan of her, overall.

Kurt Russell stars as the Hockey coach that set up a team to take on and defeat anyone in the 1980 Winter Olympics. The road was tough, but in the end, he had the best team in the entire world and won the USA Team a Gold medal, defeating the seemingly unbeatable Russian squad and the Finland team for the Gold medal round. What a fantastic sports movie! This is one of the best sports movies ever made. Hands down. Even if you are not a huge hockey fan, like myself, I loved it. I am a fan of Kurt Russell (Escape From New York, Escape From L.A., The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China).
This Blu-ray/DVD combo set is the best it is ever going to get. The HD Blu-ray is outstanding on the 4K player and TV. I highly recommend!

A great steelbook and 4K set for Nicolas Cage's "Lord of War" movie. Beautiful artwork from Lionsgate as usual. Nice slipcover for it as well. They have been producing some great steelbooks and am really enjoying adding what I can to the 4K/Blu-ray library.
The movie is a little long, it's more drama than anything else, but Nicolas Cage does a great job for his role. Jared Leto plays his younger brother in the movie.
I do recommend if you like Nicolas Cage as an actor and like collecting these steelbooks. Get it while the price is fairly good. We get the 4K, Blu-ray edition, digital copy, nice slipcover for the steelbook.

Beautiful steelbook of this classic movie starring Paul Newman and many other stars of the '60s and '70s. The movie has never looked better until now on the 4K! Sound is great for a 1967 picture. Artwork is solid all the way inside and out. Great job on this 4K edition!
You can retire the previous edition of this movie, if you had it. You will have the best it has ever looked now.

This is my second favorite of the Rocky franchise and it is a doozy. Great soundtrack, one of my faves from the mid '80s. Steelbook artwork is gorgeous throughout, We get the director's edition as well as the theatrical. Digital copy is here as well as the former Blu-ray that has been out in various sets
Rocky must now go to Russia to fight their best fighter vying for the title Rocky won in a rematch against Mr. T. Apollo Creed joins Rocky in a dual fight match and ends up in the last one he will ever fight.
Highly recommend this one! Picture and sound are good on the 4K equipment. Digital copy is here along with the previously released Blu-ray disc of the movie.

Beautiful movie, but I think the 4K itself could have been a bit better overall. Glad to have it just the same. It is an improvement, overall, but slight. I have good 4K player and TV, plus a decent soundbar.
Rocky must now defend his title from an up-and-coming fighter, played by Mr. T.
Steelbook is fabulous, artwork throughout!
I do recommend this if you do not have the steelbook/digital copy.

This has to be the best it has ever looked! The whole package is just outstanding. I had not seen this in years, and this new 4K UHD, remastered picture and sound, is just beautiful. The whole cast is outstanding, even the "bad guys" to a great job in their respective roles. Kudos Paramount on this release!
Gorgeous Steelbook with artwork throughout, 4K, Blu-ray, digital copy here.
This is the 20th Anniversary release of this movie, and it still holds up since its debut in 2003.
Get this one soon! Highly recommended for heist type movies.

Verified Purchase:Yes
A beautiful 30th Anniversary Edition of Stallone's Cliffhanger! This is one of his very best movies he ever did. For me, it is in my top 5 of his. Rocky being number one. The transfer is better than the previous release in some ways, but it depends greatly on the equipment you are watching this new 4K edition on. The Steelbook looks great, a nice matte finish with loads of artwork.
Audio is: English Dolby Atmos 7.1 English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 French 5.1 French Dolby Surround Spanish Dolby Surround (This is the 4K disc) There is special feature Deleted Scenes which there are a total of 17 selected from the main menu. *This was not on the previous 4K release. (New)
Overall, appears to be a really good edition. Blu-ray looks and sounds good as well. Both discs have artwork on them from the movie. Excellent. Includes a Digital copy.
In the '90s, the burb of Woodsboro was murderously menaced by the shrouded slasher dubbed Ghostface-and now, someone has claimed the mantle and is continuing the body count. A new generation of pop culture-savvy teens struggles to suss out the killer's identity before they're picked off in this effective and winking InchrequelInch for the meta mayhem franchise. Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid co-star with legacy performers including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette. 114 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

BEWARNED!!! NO regular Blu-ray Disc included!!!
ByHomeTheaterElite
Great movie! But Bewarned that this edition ONLY includes the 4K UHD Disc and a Digital Copy. For $30 this should have included a regular Blu-ray disc. I have only one 4K UHD disc player in my home theater and the 4K disc is useless in the rest of my players. Disappointed in this purchase!
You have the 4K/Digital copy only version. The Steel book version has the regular Blu-ray in it as well for about 5 bucks more. Your link in your review shows the picture stating there is NO Blu-ray in the package.
This has been showing as coming soon for a few months. Initial pre-orders were super under supplied and it never restocked. Stores show zero stock for release day. And yet people on ebay are selling 10+ copies.
You should have put in for a pre-order as soon as you saw this steelbook on the website. I did just that and got 1 copy, which is all I wanted. Don't even wait until the month it is supposed to be released. Your chances then will be slim to none.
Three-disc set includes Scream (1996)Director Wes Craven's slyly self-referential shocker follows a group of high school horror film fans in a small California town who are systematically slaughtered by a mysterious masked slasher. Newscaster Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) thinks this killer also did in teenager Sidney Prescott's (Neve Campbell) mother the year before, even though the supposed murderer is behind bars. Skeet Ulrich, David Arquette, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard, and Drew Barrymore co-star. 111 min. C/Rtg R Scream 2 (1997)The ghost-faced killer from the first film is gone, and the survivors are trying to get on with their lives. But when the debut of a horror movie based on the murders called InchStabInch is marred by copycat killings, it becomes clear to everyone that a new round of terror is about to begin. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Jerry O'Connell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jada Pinkett star in this spooky, witty sequel. 120 min. C/Rtg R Scream 3 (2000)The third time is a bloody charm in Wes Craven's cut-and-cut-up series. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), now a recluse working for a women's crisis hot-line, travels to Hollywood, where cast members of film-within-a film InchStab 3Inch are being slaughtered and pictures of Sidney's mother are being left at the crime scene. Courteney Cox Arquette, David Arquette, Patrick Dempsey, and Parker Posey co-star, with several surprising cameos. 117 min. C/Rtg R

~ SCREAM 3 movie set includes 2 more Blu-rays ~
By93Vet
Fantastic 5 Blu-ray set that includes the first 3 SCREAM movies, and 2 documentary style features on separate Blu-rays.
Digital codes are provided as well for the movies. The picture and sound are good and still hold up well in the 4K system TV and player.
Menus are great with easy selections. Highly recommended if you are a fan of the movie series.
Find a good deal on this set, This one is a keeper in the horror collection!
Love the steel books. The only negative about this is the cardboard box they came in. It's thick enough but should have been put in a steel shell like The Lord of the Rings Other than that, it's a great series in awesome steel book cases.
If it was metal, it would have cost more to make and sell. Any shipment would most likely be dented up as well considering the shipping boxes and packing.

Mindless Fun in 4K!
ByRoflfeathers
John Carpenter’s follow up to the classic Escape from New York is a bit of a hit and miss. There are some likable characters this go round and Snake has the one-liners completely covered. A rehashed story similar to the structure from the original movie, albeit in a new locale, weakens it overall. A short runtime makes it worthwhile for a popcorn action flick, so sit back and watch the explosions! Note: The 4K presentation is amazing, color grading and grain structure are all in respectable standards for this release. I had to return this product before opening because of an audio issue with the surround sound track. This is documented online and Paramount is aware and offering a disc replacement program to fix this. If you have a white UPC code on the back, you’ll need a replacement, but if there is a yellow UPC code, you’re in the clear.
After realizing that this was only just the three movies released during the years of 1995 and 2002, this is not the full complete collection, and completely not worth the price.
Shout Factory already released the first 5 in the lineup, nice packaging, separately some time ago. This set completes the movies, but it was under Miramax, and they had to get licensing for another release on 4K. It's all in one package with a nice box.
Zack Snyder's feature directorial debut, this remake of the George Romero zombie classic finds a diverse group of people holed up in a Wisconsin shopping mall, besieged by an army of undead attackers. Their only hope is a daring exodus to a remote island they believe to be safe from the flesh-eating fiends. Ving Rhames, Sarah Polley, Jake Weber, Mekhi Phifer, Ty Burrell star. Director's cut; 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English. Three-disc set.

Dawn of the Dead......4K Blu-ray
ByLeon8
Had to grab this 4k Bluray version of Dawn of the Dead one of my favorite zombie horde movies. You get a 4k unrated version, plus a bluray unrated, and also the theatrical version on a Bluray (3 Disc) and they're loaded with special features, would recommend.

F13 The Final Chapter Steelbook!
ByTommyC1
Awesome F13 The Final Chapter Steelbook! No new special features unfortunately but F13 TFC remains a classic and the best of the series!
Retrogaming fans and pop-culture enthusiasts have been clamoring for it, and here it is courtesy of Arcade1Up: the Atari Legacy CENTIPEDE Edition home arcade machine, for the first time in a form factor shaped just like the original classic arcade cabinet!
There are misleading images of this unit's screen size when showing Centipede. The game is a vertical game as it should be. However, there are photos of it being squashed or horizontal. Which is it?

With it~s over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat~became an instant franchise with iconic characters and enduring catch phrases.
So, what's the actual date of release now? Arcade 1up had it in March and Best Buy says Dec. 31, 2021. lol There are many of us eagerly awaiting to get this unit when Arcade 1up SAYS and sends an email stating it is READY for Preorder.

Not sure, but I asked the Best Buy tech on duty and he sold me one similar to this one for my Galaxy 21 phone. It works well. My advice to you would be to go in person if you can and tell them your question. They should point you to the correct item that will work for you.
Most steelbook editions contain the DVD as well. Do any of these contain the DVD's? And none of the special features are listed. I am particularly interested if the 4k/blu-ray have extra features that the DVD's do not. Thanks for your quick reply.

It did when it first came out on 4K. I don't think it can be found in the brick-and-mortar stores with one now in 2022, 5 years later. You may have to go to ebay for one.
