Interesting release - I wonder if this is a remaster/ part of a wider wave of releases for this in other territories and formats.. Released in 1989 so not an obvious anniversary beyond todays date..
Regarding the film its long overdue a re-watch for me - I don't often see it discussed as a key War or Cruise pieces but I remember it as being very good..
