Jack Slater b***hes! Hell yes!
ON THE SAME DAY AS CLIFFHANGER? Perfect day to shop.
This movie is SOOOOOO Very OVERDUE for a Special Edition IMO,and while I'm glad its getting a great Blu-Ray release couldn't they have made extras for this release? Fail.
Schwarzenegger self-parody at its finest. Might have to pick this up....
I liked the movie, just downloaded the Aerosmith song from the soundtrack (Dream On w/ orchestra).
Movie was good. I fell for Bridgette Wilson in this movie. One of my favorite actresses.

Very poor extras... Not the best Arnie movie but quite good.
This movie screams "special edition needed". So much controversy and its not addressed. Its been 16 years I am sure all parties involved with the production would like to tell their side of the story. From Mark Canton TO jEFF bLAKE.
Artwork added...
Hi Tom,
Do you know the region, i mean noted on the back cover ? ABC i guess ?
Thanks

That cover is not at all pretty.
yeah the art sucks, i prefer the art on the thumbnail and banner
We could say "way too Photoshopped"
Worst...Cover Art...Ever
if they wanted a "arnie and his gun" pose, they shoulda just kept the dvd art.
but in the end who cares, i'll finally own this movie and it'll be in its proper aspect ratio AND in HD...cant complain there.

That's said so often, it's lost it's meaning.
As far as the cover art, I'd rather have the movie poster, but I almost always feel that way (it is used to sell the movie, but not the DVD?). Maybe it's just Sony's choice to market him... like his name doesn't cover enough of the art. LOL
I noticed with Red Heat Arnie is taking over the cover of rereleases. I guess that's just the way it is going, maybe they are

That's the first time I've ever said it, so it means exactly what I said.

That can't be the final cover art, the color isn't correct (it looks like it was passed through a filter that made it way too bright and took out the definition). This has to be an early version, because Arnold looks like a really poorly done oil painting in this one.
Big yawn on the cover art. Liked the movie the very first time I saw it, but it got old as time went on. Definitely passing on this one.
So ugly and generic. The original poster rocks.

I guess it was done on purpose :s ...
Too bad, would love the cover art using the original poster !

I think this is the only Arnold movie I have seen bits and pieces of. Still to this day, never seen it beginning to end.
