S-Tier Paramount 4K. Eddie Murphy in Detroit. Paramount's 80s comedy catalog on 4K has been reliable.

A-Tier from StudioCanal in the UK, Lionsgate in the US. Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. flying planes in Laos. A fun 90s action film that most people forgot had a 4K release.

A-Tier Universal 4K. The trilogy box set exists in about five different packaging configurations at this point. The disc is the same across all of them. A-Tier is right for this, it's a clean catalog transfer.
Universal Pictures · 4K + Blu-ray
A-Tier Universal 4K. Same disc quality as the first film. The trilogy exists in multiple box set configurations.
A-Tier Universal 4K. Same story as Part II. Universal gave the whole trilogy consistent transfers.

A-Tier Paramount 4K. The 2025 Jack Quaid dental thriller. Collectors noted that advertising 30 minutes of special features is embarrassing compared to what DVDs used to include.
dir. Jackie Chan
A-Tier Eureka 4K. Jackie Chan's 1985 action classic, and the Eureka trilogy set was on sale for £23.99, shipping to the US for about $30 USD total. Eureka and Arrow both have releases. People wonder if the transfer is better than Criterion's scan of the first two films. The cars going down the hill in the first one still blows minds.

Lionsgate 4K, 2-disc set. Goes on sale regularly at Best Buy and Amazon for around $10 USD. The transfer is fine for a mid-budget action comedy and the cast of Willis, Malkovich, Mirren, and Freeman makes it an easy catalog pickup.
dir. Luc Besson
A-Tier but there are two different versions floating around and people mix them up constantly. The Sony US release and the StudioCanal UK release are different masters, and the StudioCanal disc looks better. Both the standard and steelbook StudioCanal editions use the same disc, so the packaging doesn't matter for picture quality. If you're buying this, get the UK StudioCanal version.

The discovery of a massive river of ectoplasm and a resurgence of spectral activity allows the staff of Ghostbusters to revive the business.
C-Tier Paramount 4K. Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in Walter Hill's buddy cop original. The transfer is acceptable for a catalog title from the early 80s. Not much collector discussion around this one.
When the owner of a struggling used car lot is killed, it's up to the lot's hot-shot salesman to save the property from falling into the hands of the owner's ruthless brother and used-car rival.
Shout! Factory · 4K + Blu-ray

D-Tier 4K that caused a lot of frustration. Someone sold theirs for a dollar and the photo went kind of viral. A comparison with a Spanish Blu-ray showed the bootleg had more skin texture in several shots. There are defenders, but the consensus leans negative.

Kino Lorber 4K announced and people are excited. Most collectors never upgraded from their ancient DVDs because the Blu-ray was barely an improvement. This should be a real step up, and the announcement got more attention than you'd expect for a Trey Parker film that isn't South Park.

WB 4K steelbook collector's edition artwork got a warm reception. People love this movie and will tell you it's underrated without being asked. A standard edition will probably follow eventually since WB always does.
