Viewing Notes

Got the Shout Factory Blu-ray of this recently so it was time for a revisit. This is the best this movie’s looked and sounded since it first came out. I didn’t remember Jackie Earl Haley being in this.

The Landmaster vehicles steal the show though.

Oh wow I guess I forgot this had a new release. I have a shitty grey market DVDR that looks like it was dubbed from an old VHS dipped in grease. Will have to add to the list bc I do love that vehicle and premise.

The transfer on Shout’s blu looks pretty damn nice. This is one of the rare movies I could see getting a remake with a decent budget. I need to watch the special features about the Landmaster vehicles.
