The Hitcher(1986)

7.0/10

dir. Robert Harmon

S-Tier

Second Sight's 4K restoration replaced what was genuinely one of the worst DVD transfers in the catalog. Collectors who grabbed the limited edition are calling it their release of the year, and the standard 4K is still available through Orbit for anyone who missed the first run.

Blade Runner(1982)

A-Tier

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. The Final Cut is what's on the 4K disc. A new steelbook pre-order went up alongside Enter the Dragon and V for Vendetta. If you already own the older 4K pressing, the disc is the same.

The Blood of Heroes(1989)

6.3/10

dir. David Webb Peoples

A-Tier

The film has two titles. It came out as The Salute of the Jugger in 1989 (Australia, Europe), then as the shorter Blood of Heroes in the US a year later. Umbrella's 2025 4K is Australia-only and uses the original title and the 104-minute international cut, with the 91-minute US recut and a 110-minute workprint on Blu-ray. Collector's Edition has a 100-page book, capped at 3000.
