Pre-Order The Untouchables (1987) (4k UHD ) Available for Preorder (1 Viewer)

[Keith Cobby]

Yeah just like "Ordinary People". But the truth of it is I don't care. I'm the only one that views them anyway. Pretty depressing when I think about it.

This is by far my favorite film from Brian Depalma. Day one!

Yes indeed, career best.

Hands down. A great disc always beats a bad cover design.

BTW, please let this be an OCN scan, as I see no such mention of there being one within the posted announcement specs.

Other than that, our anticipations are high.

Specs, to be fair, are sparse here anyway. Given the film is only 35 years old, a scan of the OCN is certainly within the realm of possibility, if not a foregone conclusion.

I am hoping for this as well. The Blu-ray from years ago really doesn't look so great.

As pointed out by users Mikezilla3k and E Unit on the DVDTalk forum, Amazon has an updated image for the cover art. It looks much better without the stupid FPS-shooter guns pointing up from the bottom of the stairs.

I like the cover art. It's different and striking.

Still pretty lame, if somewhat less so...

A bit better perhaps, but Garcia, Connery, Costner, and Smith still resemble cheap cardboard standees from a Blockbuster Video going-out-of-business sale. It looks like a middle school Photoshop project to me.

I am sort of surprised that upon the announcement of this title, there were complaints about its artwork, and within a day or two, it's suddenly modified.

Probably coincidental, but I rarely see anything like that happen

 

[Dick]

Am I the only that doesn't give a damn about cover art?

Nope.

Quite a lot of us are now going to watch Paramount's upcoming 4K UHD releases with an eye on what they are doing with the film grain. The 2007 blu-ray was one of the very first blu-rays I purchased and doesn't look good at all, projected.

There is far more predicability, when purchasing new titles from the boutique labels, who consistently provide details of the people involved with producing the digital master for the disc. In contrast, there is very little transparency and information provided by the studios producing their discs "in-house".

Her reaction to the Elevator scene

She is one of my favorite Youtube channels.

So, this video did two things for me, one it made me want to revisit Untouchables and two when she states she does not know who Al Capone is it made me remember I have now been alive long enough that I have to keep in mind things I think are common knowledge are not.

This reminded me of sitting next to a couple of twenty somethings in the cinema watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and they had no idea who Charles Manson or the Manson family were.

I received the steelbook today. It looks great, but it doesn't feel like other steelbook I own. It feels much more like a plastic book.

It's a minor nitpick, though. I'm very excited to watch this tonight.

I was wholly dissatisfied with the Blu-ray of this some years back. Crumby transfer. Other than the obvious increase in detail, does this 4K improve on that release? Anyone?

Mr Harris reviewed this disc very favourably. In case you missed it, his report is here:

First and most important, Paramount's new 4k UHD presentation is available in a very attractive steel book case, with bullet holes (not real) amid a faux whisky label. It all works, and will be more important to some readers than what's encoded on the disc. In the case of the steel book, there...

Another Paramount re-issue seeing a major price drop. The studio is giving this stuff away. Great for people like myself who held off buying the original issues. Hopefully, others will be able to pick these titles up for a steal as well.
