3D Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983) (1 Viewer)

If Twilight Time or another label were to release a limited issue of this in 3D, I'd be all over it. Is it cheesy? Yeah. Are there exploitative elements to it? Absolutely. Was it cheaply made? Of course. But it's FUN.

Just saw that Mill Creek has this on DVD as a double feature with another 80s movie I can't remember. Wonder if they'd be able to get a 3D master of it?

I've wanted to see this one for some time now. I'd pick it up without hesitation.

Mill Creek is releasing Spacehunter on Blu-ray 5/2/17, but it appears to be 2D only.

Of course it is.

 

[Konstantinos]

One of my most wanted blurays and it's Mill Creek?

 

[Bob Furmanek]

I wrote to Mill Creek last year offering to assist in preparing 3-D masters of the remaining Columbia titles and to suggest a William Castle 3-D box set.

Fort Ti
Drums of Tahiti
Jesse James vs. the Daltons
The Nebraskan
The Stranger Wore a Gun
Spacehunter
Down the Hatch

There was no reply...

That's Mill Creek's loss. I'd happily have bought a 3D bluray of Spacehunter and it wouldn't have been a price-sensitive buy for me.

But in 2D? Fuhgeddaboutit....

Please join me in writing to Mill Creek Entertainment to express your displeasure at this turn of events.

I am sure we will all be most respectful, but we should make clear that not only will we not be supporting this release, we will make every effort to talk others out of supporting it as well—including giving it poor marks on Amazon and other online retailers. And then let's follow through.

As best I can tell, the appropriate e-mail address would be [email protected].

Their mailing address is

Mill Creek Entertainment
2445 Nevada Avenue N
Golden Valley MN 55427

I say let's send e-mails and letters. Double the pressure.

 

[Camps]

Email sent.

(I'm reminded of the old joke about the angry letter that reads "Dir Sir: F@#& you! Strong message to follow!" )

 

[pinknik]

Emailed. Criticism free. Just suggesting that the 3-D version is a day one sale and that Bob and Greg get the gig.

Bob, may I recommend that you check with Indicator/Powerhouse in the UK to see if they have the rights there via Sony.

OMG, I would love an Indicator Bluray since I see many good comments about it, and I see the quality in the screenshots too.

By the way, has Mill Creek ever released a 3D Bluray?
Do you think that it would spend all those money for this release which is not an important movie anyway?

 

[StephenDH]

Email en route. Fingers crossed.

You can also post to their Facebook page. Lots of negative comments on not having a 3D version.

Mill Creek hasn't released a 3D disc before, it seems they just take whatever master they can get which has been hit or miss on what they've put out so far. But this movie is worthless without the 3D, even with it, it is NOT a good movie by any means. My dad still says it's the worst movie he's ever seen more than 33 years later! But I would STILL buy this on 3D Blu-Ray but won't touch it in 2D.

That's a bit harsh. It's not 2001 but it's entertaining and not as dumb as most Hollywood SF.

Somebody on their Facebook page posted the following:

The audio is mono on your You Tube clip... This is not looking good! Please don't screw up the audio on this like you've screwed up in the past! (My Science Project, Spaced Invaders, etc). Spacehunter has a 4.0 Surround soundtrack (Left, Right, Center, mono surround) on the DVD and there's NO reason to not have it on the Blu-Ray! Spacehunter was presented in Dolby Stereo in theaters (along with those other films I mentioned) so there's NO reason for the audio to be mono on the Blu-Ray! I get the no 3D, but mono audio is unacceptable when the film was presented in Dolby Stereo in theaters. It doesn't have to be 5.1 but it CAN'T be mono!

You can't make this stuff up!

Apparently he's never seen Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn.

Bob, this same fellow posted on Facebook. I answer him here as I did there:

"My good man, if they can make the picture mono, they sure as heck can make the sound mono!"

I hope his irony detector comes back online soon. It's a shame to be blind to it in oneself.
