[Ian Jane Administrator Find all posts View Profile Close Ian Jane]

Coming June 5th:

Delta Force!
Missing In Action!
Mission In Action II!





The catch? They're all fucking Walmart exclusives. But I don't care. I will venture into the consumer Hell that is Walmart to get these on my birthday. Oh yes, I will.

It's the summer of Chuck! At least being BD these won't be buried under 40 copies of fullscreen WAR OF THE WORLDS in a filled-to-the-rim bin. I will get DELTA FORCE and MIA 1 for sure.

I don't think we'll get more than trailers as far as extras go but I'm assuming these will at least be in their proper widescreen aspect ratios, a nice change from the fullframe MGM DVDs.

How did they know that your birthday was the perfect day to release these?

FACT: If Walmart Canada doesn't have them, i'm crossing the border.

You might have trouble getting them back into Canada. They could very well be considered weapons of mass destruction.

FUCK YEAH!

I will sell my kidney if I have to to get a region free blu-ray just to enjoy these!

WalMart Canada should have these, I'm thinking. Im definitely getting these either way, even if I have to order from the US! Still keeping my laserdisc of MIA, though! :)

Finally some Bluray love for Chuck Norris!
I really hope all three movies will show up on ebay or amazon after release, because I live in Europe and I can't buy them from US Wal-Mart. I have a BD player in my computer, so don't care about region restrictions at all.

I wouldn't mind seeing Delta Force again. Watched it in my 6th grade social studies class. That teacher was badass. He stood on desks and stuff.

That still blows my mind. USA! USA! ;)

Matt, those screen caps look pretty solid. If anything the BD should improve on those.

Walmart.com has 'em at $12.96 for preorder. The price looks nice! However, I'm still not on the BD train. BDSM, yes, but BD, no.

Yer half way there at least. BDSM leads to high def. I think.

Need a screenshot of any of these movies? Let me know.

Also I heard somewhere that when MGM HD channel has just started, they shown Breaker! Breaker! (1977). Never seen a HDTV footage or any screenshots of this movie, so I don't know how it looked for real.

In addition, a few digitally remastered (HD) trailers:

• A Force of One (1979) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOHDgVRtVGg (720p)
• The Octagon (1980) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Icsg0O3jk (1080p)
• Good Guys Wear Black (1978) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Yhh3NSlN2c (1080p)

The whole situation looks very promising however I wonder, why no love for Invasion U.S.A. and Forced Vengeance?

Matt, feel free to post caps from any of those MGM HD broadcasts you see fit to bless us with.

I'm hopeful if these Walmart exclusives do well, we'll see more.

I think I just took a picture of a parody porno called Delta Arse.
