They took their sweet time releasing the FIRST MCU film on 4K!

I think I prefer this steel to the other new one.

Do Universal not own the rights in the UK?

I remember when there were no DVD even, so I bought a VHS (around year 2000, still have it sealed). Then the first DVD, then a DVD with some special features from a different country, then the first basic Blu-ray, then a BD with extras, then an LE BD with a booklet and slip, then a steelbook BD, then a UHD steelbook, then I realized that steel was debossed in US, but I didn't buy it for the 9th or so time... well here we go again! It's catching up to the most editions of a single movie, after The Matrix, The Fifth Element, Inception, and Furiosa with Ballerina, but remains the one more spread over different formats, than any.

They took their sweet time releasing the FIRST MCU film on 4K!

What, there already was a UHD release 5 years ago, steelbook as well. Or is that supposed to be a joke I didn't get?

For £39.99 or less and not £49.99+ right?

I mean, it’s Howard the Duck. Should be literally the lowest the price these editions can go. And the price increase on these collectors editions aren’t making them worth it anymore

Why would you want to inflict that dire film on the public... Up There with Condorman as one of the worst films ever made. It's not even in the Plan 9 league where it's so bad, it's actually fun.

Condorman is a classic

It's awesome, the songs alone worth it:
