Last Action Hero (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]

Is it really THAT bad? Maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't look epically bad, if I may quote you
CODE won't work for me. Not sure why. Emptied my basket so it was the only order and tried again and got the 'bad code' note at the top of the page.
Yeah. I don't think my friends or I gave it a glowing review on our cards but not the low 40s. It was an unfinished product we saw. I remember seeing wires and other unfinished special effects. One of my friends described the movie on her card as "loud" or something like that. I liked it enough to buy the VHS from the previously viewed section at Hollywood Video after it hit home video release. I don't think it was a huge amount of changes up until the end which was noticeably different.
But then again, I loved "Tank Girl" (another test audience mangled movie) and "the Pirate Movie" so my opinion may not be with the mainstream
I'm guessing this will eventually hit a lower price on Zavvi? I'd like it eventually, maybe.....

Yes, quite so, but the audience reaction to the test screenings was so bad that a new writer was called in (Shane Black) to rewrite certain parts and other bits were hastily reshot. Memorable comments from the audience at the time ranged from "Juvenile", "Off the mark", "Confusing towards the end", "Willy Wonka with guns", "The movie just sat there like a big fried egg" to harsh stuff like "This movie has cancer".
The audience test score cards (to show how many of the audience would definitely recommend the film) ranged from 46% to 72% with no sign of the hoped for 90% or over.
The only other "alternative versions" of the film were those shown on TV by (1) Channel 5 which was cut by up to 10 minutes of profane language and violence and (2) ITV cut to under two hours with entire scenes removed such as the burglar at Danny's house and subsequent police station scene to cuts for violence including when Arnie kicks a SWAT member in the ghoulies.
As printed on the back of the BD case the film should run for "Approx.131 mins.".
I personally take all the negativity surrounding this film and flush it down the toilet - "THIS FILM IS A GREAT DEAL OF FUN" is my opinion
Order now and think it over for a month
I put it in my basket then went to the price drop thread and used @javiermendoza link
and got an order in for £11.69
Only just seen your tag @harry thank you
Gotta get it at that price
Think now, order later once the price has dropped...Order now, think later...
@GBP 11.69 happy to make an exception for this fine steelbook and fun cult catalogue title

A nice touch would be a numbered "Golden Ticket" deposited in each of these steelbooks giving the buyer with the right number a cash prize of, say, GBP 2,000 (2,000 print run).
Wouldn't be a unique idea - see last year's METROPOLIS where every buyer had a chance to win a 180gm solid gold bar worth approx. GBP 4,000 (4,000 print run).

Before I forget, would just like to extend a big Thank-You to Sony/Zavvi for making available catalogue steels at a more acceptable pre-order price than before (and, of course, for also making available the 10% code) and even though I've only ordered this one and "Rambo" I do appreciate it.

Pre-ordered! Love the film personally, a great parody on the action movie genre and Arnie himself.

Yeah I placed an order earlier anyway with the code. I'll decide later
Think now, order later once the price has dropped...
Liking your rational thought process @Noodles...
LOL . . . Best of luck with that
No need for luck, but thanks.LOL . . . Best of luck with that
Ok movie... lot of memories... but I'll wait for 4.99£ price...
I doubt they would be adding any extras such as golden tickets especially at this price. I remember Metroplolis had one but it was also individually numbered and priced at £25. I don't think they will be adding anything extra with these catalogue titles.@GBP 11.69 happy to make an exception for this fine steelbook and fun cult catalogue title
