Outstanding '80s movie now in HD 4K! A High School student stumbles upon what he thinks is a new game list from a game company. He hacks into the system to try and play them, unknowingly getting into a high security military system. One of Matthew Broderick's '80s hits. We all know what the other is...Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
The picture and sound here are fantastic. The best I think this is going to look and sound. Get this set soon and add it to your 4K library and '80s movies on HD. Lots of '80s stuff here. Artwork, 4K, Blu-ray, digital copy. I would have liked a slipcover for this one, but it is great just the same.

I really enjoyed this one with a great cast. Val Kilmer, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, among some others. I had some reservations on this one due to some reviews saying the picture was too dark, etc. Well, I really had no issues with it as far as the 4K goes. Night scenes were pretty good for the most part, and daytime was excellent. Sound was utterly fantastic at 7.1 Audio. I really heard the shootout from the bank heist this time. Excellent. I have started to improve my Val Kilmer library due to his ongoing health issues. Al Pacino, what can I say about this brilliant actor that has not been said already? Just outstanding. Robert, the usual bad guy drama actor here, did not disappoint. Ashley Judd plays the wife of Val Kilmer's character. She looks good here.
If you want another good crime drama with Val Kilmer, may I suggest The Real McCoy with Kim Basinger. Excellent.
My 4K equipment is Sony all the way. I have no issues.

A decent remake of the cult original from George Romero. The only thing I really didn't like about it was the zombies running like they were on a mass sprint exercise. It really resembled the World War Z movie. A virus spreads through bites, etc. Still, an enjoyable romp with that in mind.
We get 3 discs total, the 4K UHD with the Unrated Cut, The 2 Blu-rays, one with the Unrated Cut, the other Theatrical Cut. Many special features from the movie brought over from previous release. Easy selections on the menu, which is good by the way. Picture quality is outstanding, the sound, is a 5.1 mix. If you have a good sound system, it is decent.
For this release and the 3 discs, plus slipcover, I did not pay the near 40 bucks for it. So, find a good deal on this one and add it to your horror library before it is oop.

Beautifully done Steelbook of THE FOG in 4K UHD. The artwork here is fabulous throughout, inside as well. These discs have different artwork on them then the edition with Jamie Lee on the front cover. Content is great, lots of special features. The movie looks fantastic and sounds fantastic in the 7.1 Audio!
Get this movie soon if you don't own it already! One of Carpenter's best! He even has a cameo in the movie.

Val Kilmer stars as a young genius at a prestigious school.
HIs knowledge coupled with others there develop an ingenious device. Not known to them though that it would be used by a professor and his colleagues for military purposes.
He and his friends team up to stop the professor from benefitting of the new "weapon" and dispose of it in proper fashion. The ending is hilarious.
Looks and sounds better than ever on 4K UHD! One of my favorite '80s movies!
Thank you, Sony Includes Blu-ray and digital copy.!

An upcoming Chuck Norris stars as a leader of the Black Tigers. An Elite group that goes to Vietnam to bring back any and all MIA's.
After a "setup" there, the group takes a few casualties. John T. Booker, played by Chuck, takes a direct lead in finding out who is responsible and dealing with them in his own style.
A lovely Anne Archer (Fatal Attraction, Narrow Margin) stars as a reporter and love interest.
Look for other stars of the era, and notable actor Dana Andrews.
Nicely done Kino Lorber! Nice menu, easy selections, good artwork and slipcover. Reversable artwork slip on inside.

~ DEATH WISH on 4K with nice slipcover and artwork
on February 9, 2023
Posted by: 93Vet
Wow, get this on 4K! Kino Lorber did a great overall job on this one. The whole package is great with nice slipcover. Reversable inside cover also. I would say the 4K is quite nice, probably the best we are going to get on this 1974 gritty movie starring Charles Bronson.
The Audio is improved at DTS HD English 5.1. The Blu-ray is same at English 5.1. There is special features here that I have not seen before. Kino Lorber always does a great job on that. Many theatrical trailers of Charles' movies, and a few others.
This is definitely an improvement over the lazy Paramount Blu-ray that was released a few years back.
I do hope KINO LORBER gets the rights to do the other sequels, especially DEATH WISH II and III. Nice slipcover artwork!!

Lied to
ByMattk
This steelbook set claims its 4k+blu ray+ digiral and it is not does kot come with blu ray copies of the movies only comes with the special features disc from the blu rays
I can agree with you to a certain extent. Maybe they were not specific enough in the listing details as they should have been. Since these movies have been out for years now, most of them on Blu-ray, this set is a limited steelbook 4K UHD edition for the movies, and a special features disc for the extra content. Yes, the listing does not say that. There are no Digital copies here in the listing either on Best Buy.
Arrow already did a HD Blu-ray version of this prior. Same slipcover design, only that one was a better slipcover with a graphic sheen to it. This 4K edition only has a booklet included on the movie. They did the same thing for FLATLINERS and AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.
Blu-ray in SteelBook packaging. Brad Pitt stars in this terrifying and action-packed adaptation of Max Brooks' novel. Former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Pitt) is called back to his job when a zombie pandemic grips the entire globe. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Lane undertakes a dangerous mission to travel the world in an effort to find out where the outbreak originated so a cure can be found. Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz, James Badge Dale, Matthew Fox also star. PG-13-rated version; 115 min./Unrated version; 122 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks English DTS HD 7.1 Master Audio, Dolby Digital 5.1, DVS, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1, Portuguese Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), French, Spanish, Portuguese; featurettes.

Disappointing Steel
BybluraymanfromChicago, IL
Extremely mediocre SteelBook. It's utterly bare-bones. Nothing on the inside, nothing on the back-cover.
What steelbook do you own? The one pictured is the one I own and there is most certainly inside artwork and on back. The disc itself is blue colored. They are not putting out another one just for a 4K edition. Disc only with the typical black holder.
An ex-Marine finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people.

Not steelbook
ByEndOfLife
I would have to agree with the fact that this not being a steelbook especially at this price tag is very disappointing im sure at some point there will be a complete set. My uncle bought this completely regretting it.
Absolutely love the movie. It gets 5 stars. But the plastic slip cover is completely warped and ruined. The best looking steelbook so far this year and it's damaged. Disappointing to say the least.
Hey, thanks for the info. on the damaged steel slipcover, it looks like this is more than just you it is happening to. I somewhat disagree with your comment as far as best looking steelbook so far this year. 1996's Ghost In The Shell gets my vote. I do believe that came out this year, 2023. If not, I stand corrected. The artwork on that is just superior in all directions.

Audio Downgrade….
Byrichsto
Not sure who made the decision to downgrade the audio from 7.1 (which has been on all previous releases) to 5.1 but geez, really?!?
Awful, just awful. My copy will be returned at first opportunity. Super disappointing.

Nothing cheap about this
ByTommyboy98
Absolutely nothing cheap about this release. Dont listen to reviews saying that. So much is included in this
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?
Evolving from its 1958 beginnings as an amusement game manufacturer, Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the 80s and 90s, that have since been adapted into film, television, and much more.Their monsters-wreaking-havoc title Rampage~was a giant early hit, and then leaps in live action digitizing technology led to Mortal Kombat~, recognized as one of the most important titles in video game history. 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.
