I hope Shout remastered this. The master used for their existing Blu-ray shows a ton of wear and damage.

I suspect a ton of people are going to want to watch this after Tarantino's upcoming film, if rumors are to be believed. His book includes a fun chapter on it.

I'd have bought it if it was the Bob Dylan concert. But of course, what the world needs more is another violent thriller.

Strongly agree.

I thought commissioning fresh scans were a basic requirement of upgrading previously released titles on a superior format? It wouldn't be a good look for Shout to deceive customers by simply slapping an old scan onto a 4K disc and charge the thirty-five bucks for it. They'd never hear the end of it.

^ The way that is worded makes it seem like only the Blu-ray will feature the new 4K scan but I know that would be ridiculous so it's all good

I'm looking forward to this upgrade. It stands out among Shout's fairly weak slate the next few months.
