All Warner would have to do is move George Feltenstein from the head of Warner Archive to Head of Home Entertainment overall and Original poster art would constantly rain down from the heavens on all releases.

I do think Warner needs to select more classic titles for the ultimate collectors edition treatment. Ben Hur was obviously a great choice for a special set but surely Speed Racer and Eraser would have been fine with a Steelbook only release. Unforgiven has a beautiful 4k transfer and totally deserving of the UCE treatment. Interstellar would be another great choice because you can never have enough editions of it and I didn't much like that 10 anniversary thing. It should have been in this UCE format. The recent 4k Steel of Barry Lyndon should have been one as well. Come on Warner original poster artworks on Steel and box and more Classic titles.

Nah this is a horrible take. Another Interstellar? Like there's not enough different versions of that as it is

Companies like WB and Universal giving the 'premium' treatment to films like Eraser and Hard Target is needed as these are the type of films the real premium sellers will never ever think of touching

As for this, obviously a missed opportunity not to use the classic poster image on either the slip or the steel and it is mind boggling how these companies still don't appreciate that that's all that collectors want

Slip artwork is horrendous. Same as the regular amaray 4k artwork.

As others have said, the best artwork is on the poster haha...

A booklet would've been nice considering it's £50 and the back of the steelbook looks better with at least some kind of image now, instead of the nearly all black that we first saw.

 

[Greyback]

As usual, another disappointment from Warner. The slipcase and the Steelbook have terrible artwork. Why isn't there any poster artwork for the slipcase or the Steelbook? Why isn't there a booklet?

Not mine (French version of the CE)

 

[Stu123]

The back of the collectors edition is a let down. I was hoping for a nice image. I suppose they just couldn't be bothered.

 

[samdavies]

Not bad, but I'm not going to bite at the CE. The steel looks much better with the smaller (and debossed) title.

 

[Flloydo]

Yeah sorry that’s an utter dogsh!t attempt. Especially when Speed Racer just came out and is top of its game for quality, finish and art used. The thin fold up posters shouldn’t be the best artworks. They should’ve been the steel and slip artworks. I don’t care that they include the posters, I like all those extras with these editions but use the good stuff for the main attractions ffs. The artcards/ behind the scenes are the best thing about this release. Which is sad

Slip is dogshit. Will be regular steelbook for me.

 

[Lenny Nero]

So European steel is better, debossed!
Too bad the backs of everything suck/wasted/non-existent...

The artcards/ behind the scenes are the best thing about this release.

I did think of cancelling and getting the steelbook only, but in the end it's only another £15 and you're only going to buy it once on 4K, so what the hell.

 

[K1SK1S]

Wow WB that's bad bad. The finish on the slip (or lack of) is dreadful for the price and standard you'd expect. You'd think they'd try and dress that art up a little at least. To not even spot gloss the title smh. Steelbook is terrible outside of debossed title.

CE slip is dreadful
regular 4k slip is same artwork and is dreadful

So that leaves steelbook which is pretty meh but better than the other 2 haha
we never even got a blu ray steelbook for eraser so guess we should be happy we are even getting a 4k one.

Arrived today. Ok enough edition considering the idea of any kind of special edition for this film 5 years ago would have been a pipe dream

Obviously not as nice as say the Universal release of Hard Target a year or so ago but it is what it is

Looking forward to watching the film again, not seen it for probably 20+ years now so gonna be interesting to see how it's held up after all this time

Watched it a couple months ago. It's still awesome. Classic Ah-nold. Great side characters, too. A fun ride.
