It was remastered in HD by Olive Films in 2014 specifically for this release. Special Features include: New video Interview with Bruce Campbell and Walter Koenig; New video interview with director Robert Dyke and writer Tex Ragsdale; Audio commentary by Robert Dyke and Tex Ragsdale.” Nice.

PBS Distribution has set Masterpiece Mystery: Inspector Lewis 7 on Blu-ray and DVD on 11/25.
Adam’s covered this already in his Burnt Offerings column but some of you may not have heard it yet: Warner Archive is releasing Yankee Doodle Dandy on Blu-ray on 10/14.
On the documentary front, Cohen Media Group is releasing Chuck Workman’s documentary What Is Cinema? on Blu-ray and DVD on 11/4, featuring a who’s who of landmark filmmakers.
And here’s something very interesting for you Battlestar Galactica fans. Universal Pictures UK has just set Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Original Series for BD release in the UK on 11/24, and the listing says the set will be region free. We obviously can’t verify this until it arrives in stores, and we don’t know if all the extras from the existing German BD set (reviewed here at The Bits) will carry over (for example if Galactica 1980 will also be included), but it may represent a better purchase option for US fans. At current exchange rates, it works out to about $80 plus shipping. Anyway, you can see the UK cover artwork below (with an Amazon.co.uk purchase link). Thanks to Bits reader Ian M. for the heads-up!
Finally, we now know the reason why Warner delayed their fancy schmancy Luxe Edition Blu-ray titles to 12/9: They’re going to be Best Buy exclusive titles for a limited time starting on 9/30. Does anyone still shop at Best Buy? Other than to get these irritating exclusives I mean? Judging by the feedback we’re hearing from readers, consumers are less than enthused. Anyway, more here at Home Media.
Here’s a look at the Blu-ray cover artwork for that UK Battlestar set (remember that this is an Amazon.co.uk link), plus Moontrap, What Is Cinema?, Yankee Doodle Dandy, and both versions of Hercules (the 2D version of Hercules isn’t yet listed for sale on Amazon but we’ll update the link as soon as it is)...
Stay tuned!
