A very pretty steelbook for an underrated film.

The good thing about glossy finished steelbook is you would like to unseal and enjoy its beauty

Oh WOW! Great pics Paul, and amazing steel. Only thing that keeps it from being perfect is the inside art being black and white.

don't normally do this just watched the film then watched a 49min featurette of how the film was made it was excellent anyone that gets this make sure you watch it.
The amount of money they must have spent making this must have been astronomical when you see all the extras and model planes they build and shutting down a major part of shanghai as well to do some of this. can tell it's the 80s when you look at speilbergs clothes lol.

this happens be one of the best extras i have seen in a long while, apart from being a bloody good film.

Must admit I've got into watching extras a lot more recently than I ever have, certainly for the quality films out there and classics, of which this is one or both IMO.

Just received this in the mail today. Had to unwrap it due to the glue under the j-card - have read in the past on associated forum about this causing dents over the long term.

Beautiful Steelbook!

Just recieved mine. Big nasty cut on the front and the blu-ray disc looked like it was thrown on the floor and rubbed around, completely scratched. GG quality control. Meh. Sent Zavvi pictures and asked for a replacement.
