Bradley Gregg · 1980s

dir. Rob Reiner

Sony A-Tier 4K. The steelbook reissue added Dolby Vision, which sparked a debate about whether the DV upgrade is worth double-dipping for. The consensus leans toward marginal improvement unless you're really looking for it, but the transfer itself is strong and the Pacific Northwest summer photography has the kind of natural lighting that benefits from HDR.

Sony Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Chuck Russell

Available on 4K only via Warner's 7 Film Collection boxset from September 2025. Dokken's Dream Warriors music video is included on the disc, though some collectors have flagged subtle playback-speed drift versus the original master. Atmos remix is the new theatrical option, with the original mono and 5.1 tracks also included.

Warner Bros. · 4K Box Set (7 Film Collection)

dir. Joe Dante
