I want a TOP GUN SE! (1 Viewer)

[Dave Getson]

Hmmmm....perhaps that could be an extra on the SE

 

[Douglas*A*R]

Matt, love your SE layout, except


I'd much rather have Anthony Edwards instead of Val Kilmer. I wouldn't want both because of the "to many cooks" phenomenon.

Of course, a non-anamorphic dvd played on a non-anamorphic tv probably won't tell me a whole lot about the crappy picture.

I have a 16x9 TV, and these discs usually look pretty good when processed through good scaling technology.

People correct me if I'm wrong, but a while back, didn't someone from Paramount or something, he said that a rumored date wasn't true, but he didn't exactly deny one being in the works though. Seems like I remember something like that.

 

[Chris Farmer]

In another thread I think rather then this one, but I coudl be wrong, Martin Blythe (who works for Paramount) said somethign to the effect of "That date is not true." One of the members immediately pointed out that denying the date doens't deny existence of the disk, and Martin just pointed out that the member was good with details. No flat out-confirmation, but that's obvious, and in this case a denial would be a lot easier then a very clear dodge.

perhaps it is coming out sooner than we think, we all know how a certain David Lambert knows how to drop certain hints under the radar.

 

[David Lambert]

Check that, Oscar. As I just said in the other thread, I know nothing.

It was merely speculation. Sorry to let you down, buddy.

 

[oscar_merkx]

David
I know you were speculating and thought why not throw a response.
no harm done

An anamorphic version of Top Gun is long overdue. I've wondered for some time why Paramount let's this title just lie around in obscurity (non-anamorphic means obscure to me).

Sign me up for a Top Gun SE. This movie seems to be one of those great mysteries of the DVD world. This movie being re-released would be a cash cow but they just continue to sit on their hands.

Yes, definitely an anamorhphic re-release SE of Top Gun!

 

[Philip Verdieck]

I got into DVD a little after I started reading this forum. I took heed of members statements not to buy Top Gun, and would love to pick up a properly done SE. Paramount could have milked it for more. An anamorphic release at about 2000, and probably a remaster version in 2002, then hit us up for the SE next year

Guys,
If any of you have DirecTV and HDnet movies (part of a ($10.99 channel package) you can look forward to seeing Top Gun in HD. Mark Cuban just bought the rights to the film from Paramount. No firm air date was posted over at AVSforum. I do not know if the sound will be "remixed" for it's airdate.
BTW, other Paramount movies such as Beverly Hills Cop are also included as part of this deal.
Anamorphic transfer?, bah who needs it!
Michael.

 

[DanR]

You can cast your vote by going out and buying the re-releases of the first three Jack Ryan movies. If the re-releaseds sell well enough, you can be sure Top Gun would be at the top of the short-list of "redo's" by Paramount.

Regards,
Dan

 

[Qui-Gon John]

Got the re-release of HFRO already. Will be getting the other 2 in the not too distant future.

I'm really looking forward to this Top Gun:SE anamorphic re-release!!!

 

[Aryn Leroux]

Now this is only my opinion but i think it's a pretty safe bet we will see a new top gun dvd sometime in 2004.

 

[Qui-Gon John]

Any more news on this? Confirmed or rumoured street date?

 

[Paul Anthony]

I also wanted to add "Born on the Fourth of July" to this thread. The last re-release with the Oliver Stone commentary should have been re-mastered anamorphically.

 

[Dave Getson]

Hey, can anyone guess what I still want?

 

[Stephen Hopkins]

A "Days of Thunder" re-release would also be nice. I'm amazed at how many great movies Paramount released non-anamorphicly in the early days of DVD. I was happy once the Jack Ryan movies were re-released, especially since they were (and still are) available at prices that make double-dipping an easier bullet to bite.
