Looks very amateurish and, yup, just because it's based on the garish red 30th Anniversary poster and one of the book re-print covers the strong colour doesn't make it stand out in a good way ...

... and surely a step down part from that the nicely embossed elegant silver UK steelbook ...

... when a step up would have been this Mondo art by Marc Aspinall:-

Easy to forget now that the book was banned for being racist (negative stereotypes etc.) and is included on a banned books lists . . . most notably in 1980 by the San Francisco Public Library system https://www.upi.com/Archives/1980/1...rom-general-circulation-in-the/9804339825600/

It's made to compliment the Steelbook for the sequel, which is mostly greyish/blue with a red accent, this is mostly red with a greyish/blue accent. They'll probably look good next to each other.

Still not a great design and no 4K means it's a pass of course.
 
I agree. That's going to be a nice set... Too bad MP1 wasn't coming out on 4K though

They way they are pumping out the 4k I'm a bit surprised they hadn't cobbled something together by now

Certainly there must be a 4k broadcast version out there somewhere...
 
The best thing going for it is that really nice $19.99 price, I liked the movie as a kid and this makes me consider it
 
Clearly not designed to match each other in any way...

... and personally prefer the steelbook for RETURNS although the wraparound silhouette artwork on ^ adds interest as well as reminding me of the silhouette strip on the original steelbook.
