We’ve done a bunch of updating here at The Bits today, including our 4K Ultra HD Release List, which should now be up to date with all the latest announcements, details, and pre-order links.

We’ve also just done our weekly update of the Release Dates & Artwork section here at the site (thanks to our own Russell Hammond for that) which includes all the latest Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K UHD cover artwork and Amazon.com pre-order links.

As always, whenever you order literally anything from Amazon after clicking to them through one of our links, you’re helping to support our work here at the site and we really do appreciate it!

Now then, the big news today is that Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has finally officially announced the 4K Ultra HD release of Richard Donner’s Lethal Weapon (1987) on 6/24. [Read on here...]

Afternoon, Bits readers! We’re starting the week with more new disc reviews, as always, including...

Stuart’s thoughts on Daniel Petrie’s The Betsy (1978) on Blu-ray from Imprint Films.

Dennis’ look at Todd Field’s In the Bedroom (2001) on Blu-ray also from Imprint Films.

And Tim’s take on Imprint’s new Blaxploitation (1972-1973) Blu-ray box set, which includes Martin Goldman’s The Legend of Black Charley (1972), Larry G. Spangler’s The Soul of Black Charley (1973), Ron O’Neal’s Superfly T.N.T. (1973), and Arthur Marks’ Detroit 9000 (1973). (Note that two of those films are using their less controversial titles, one of which was apparently changed for use in newspaper theatrical listings and for its original 1970s TV broadcast.)

Also… on Friday, Stephen turned in a detailed look at Mel Brooks’ trail-blazing comedy Blazing Saddles (1974) in 4K Ultra HD from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment.

And finally, Tim also reviewed Arrow Video’s excellent Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe Blu-ray box set, which was released in March.

More reviews are forthcoming this week, so be sure to stay tuned for them.

In announcement news today, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has just revealed a new 4K Steelbook edition of David Ayer’s Fury (2014) for release on 7/15. The title will now include Dolby Vision HDR, whereas the previous 4K release (from May of 2018) had HDR10 only. (You can read our review of that disc here.) All the extras will be the same, with the sole exception that the 4K disc no longer includes the 46-minute Smithsonian Channel documentary The Tanks of Fury. (Nor is it on the Blu-ray in the package, which seems to be identical to the previous Blu-ray.) Presumably, this omission allows for the inclusion of Dolby Vision and perhaps a higher overall 4K data rate. In any case, you can see the Steelbook cover artwork at left. [Read on here...]
