Maniac Cop 2(1990)

5.9/10

dir. William Lustig

S-Tier

S-Tier Blue Underground 4K. William Lustig's sequel with some insane chase sequences that clearly didn't have permits. Blue Underground priced both Maniac Cop 4Ks at $30 USD each, which people found fair compared to what Shout Factory charges for a single standard Blu-ray.

Purple Rain(1984)

6.7/10

dir. Albert Magnoli

S-Tier

S-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. Prince in 1984 Minneapolis. People wanted a purple case and were disappointed. The acting is openly acknowledged as terrible while the music is some of the best ever recorded, and that tension is part of the appeal. Someone bought their first copy on Betamax in 1985.

Warner Bros. · 40th Anniversary Edition

Reindeer Games(2000)

5.7/10

dir. John Frankenheimer

S-Tier

Kino Lorber 4K of Frankenheimer's late-career thriller with Affleck. Showed up in an Amazon 3-for-2 deal, where the main complaint was Amazon shipping damaged copies. Thin collector interest beyond completionists and Frankenheimer fans.
