Bill Lustig has stated that they will eventually be rereleased by Blue Underground. There is no time frame mentioned. I am sure that Blue Underground will eventually revisit all of the licenses reverting back to Lustig.

There are actually three versions of The Final Countdown which will be released by Blue Underground. They are releasing a single disc fullscreen, a single disc widescreen, and a two disc limited edition widescreen edition. Why Blue Underground is doing this is beyond me.

Although I'm not sure if the contents of the second disc is worth the extra $10 they're asking. An interview with Lloyd Kaufman? Oh please.

The 2-disc version is only $18 at DDD. Can't really complain about the price. Final Countdown will be their most popular release yet, so it's not a big surprise that they're offering multiple versions. After all, BU got its roots from Anchor Bay.

this sounds cool, too!!
update from the bits:
update from the bits:
"The Zero Pilot Journal is actually a 4,000 word diary written by the CAF (Confederate Air Force) detailing the Zero pilots' experience filming the dogfight scenes with the F-14s, from the difficulties just flying down to Key West, to filming the flight scenes with the Tomcats. It turns out that it was an extremely difficult and dangerous task. The article was written in 1979 before the movie was released and has been essentially lost since. I cannot stress enough how detailed this article is. It is a complete documentary, just in words rather than video. I guarantee if you love the Final Countdown movie, you will love this article and find it extremely educational."

I disagree. I do not believe that Final Countdown will be their most popular release. I don't think the film has that big a following. Most people don't even remember it.

According to various sources and responses i have received by e-mail myself, they are looking to get replacement boxes out by Feb.1 according to Lissa Beltri (BU)

I'd say that of all the titles on BU....this will "cross the lines" as much or more than any other of their titles. I dont have any figures, but I'll bet Dead and Buried was a good seller as well. for many people, TFC will be their first BU purchase. most of the other titles require a certain taste and open-mindedness, while TFC is one of their more mainstream releases. more people than you think might have seen this flick. any other time it's been released it has recieved crappy promoting and shitty presentation. the word will spread of this title and of the dvd. I hope. I say it's going to surprise many people and sell many copies.
