Great artwork, fun film. I wonder if it's as good as I remember.

No Guttenburg on the inside art = No sale!!




This would've worked well as a 1 & 2 double steel IMO

 

[SonicBoom]

Wow, someone at Zavvi likes the 80s!

I'm not exactly a huge fan of the movies in this wave, but the art looks consistently decent for once. I'm shocked

 

[Noodles]

Had my eye on the amaray version for a while now and even looked at it in CeX just yesterday!

This looks a bit plain/boring though IMO... especially that back art. And I'm really not liking the red text... they should make it white and get rid of the tagline.

I much prefer the artwork on the German steelbook... just a shame it has the German title.

Glad to see this get a release but I agree with @Noodles, the German art is much better

The front artwork looks nice but not sure about the rest of this, the back is a waste and boring, the inside artwork could be a lot better, where are the other main characters Stephanie and Newton?

No Guttenburg on the inside art = No sale!!

I think Steve Guttenburg should feature too, I would have liked Ally Sheedy included too. Short Circuit 2 has no current UK release on Blu-ray far as I know, not sure who owns the rights.

What a waste of rear art. Probably still pick up on the sale

I would have preferred the German artwork with English but I do like the front is the original movie poster. The back and inside leave much to be desired. Nevertheless childhood nostalgia wins out again for this instant purchase.

Another missed opportunity.

Film not exactly up there with NAVIGATOR (IMO) and with the cover taken from original poster artwork from JOHN ALVIN. . . good at least to see that they've utilised the mass of sky in which to place the title instead of cramming it in front of the small area of cliff as on the poster.-


The previous 2012 U.K. Amaray release - coincidentally released at the same time as FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR and not long before PIRANHA . . . another of today's new steelbook asnnouncements - is hardly any better than the steelbook art (IMO):-

Don't think I'd be rushing out to buy the steelbook from Germany and I'd prefer no back art to what we have there:-

I agree. Whilst I like the first film, I love the second one even with all it's cheese. I grew up watching SC2 first at the cinema and then on good 'ole VHS. I'm not getting this steel but hope they release ST2 soon.

Zavvi art is miles better than the German art. Glad I waited.

I am a big fan of original poster art and the poster art for SHORT CIRCUIT was perfect for the film.

 

[yeslek]

Of the ones announced today, THIS artwork needs to be kept

Shame its not a double movie steel with the sequel. Kill Bill style

 

[chunk]

I really like the german release I have but I might have to double dip.. I'm happy to see some of my childhood favs getting steels... more please

 

[kitsune]

I like the artwork on the German one a lot more. Just wouldn't want to own a steelbook with German writing (no offense Germans, or I mean — it's okay, I'm Dutch)

 

[jimmyv]

boring artwork.

loved this movie as a kid.

johnny five!!!!

Wow, someone at Zavvi likes the 80s!

I'm glad some of the old skool movies are getting the treatment they deserve, even though most of them I won't be getting, at least Zavvi are doing something different for a change. I'm praying they do Monster Squad !!! Highly deserves a steelbook over here.

On another note that back art is bloody awful!
