S-Tier from Shout Factory. There are multiple packaging options but the discs are identical across the standard edition, steelbook, and collector's edition. If you're new to this one and the black levels look crushed, that's normal. It was shot almost entirely at night on a low budget, and Carpenter himself has said that's just how it looks. The Eagle Pictures Italian release is a better-looking transfer for anyone willing to import. The steelbook art is a love-it-or-hate-it situation, some people think it looks more Mad Max than Snake Plissken.

Carpenter's practical effects hold up better than most modern CGI and the Universal 4K is A-Tier, though the missing Dolby Vision is the one complaint collectors have. Signed copies from convention appearances are circulating and the Titans of Cult edition has been restocking through Books-a-Million.

Arrow Video's Limited Edition 4K preorder is live at Diabolik DVD, making it the first legitimate English-language release since the old Blu-ray went out of print. The film shares a screenwriter with Blade Runner and has a small cult following built around Kurt Russell's near-silent performance and the production design that carries over from Ridley Scott's world.
