DVD & Blu-ray release 11/24/15


Kino Lorber has just announced they'll be releasing The Hurricane on both DVD and Blu-ray on November 24, 2015. SRPs are $19.95 and $29.95 respectively.

The film was first released on DVD in 1999 and has long been out of print. This is of course its first Blu-ray release.

Thanks for the heads-up! I never got the DVD and have had to make due with a DVD transfer off an old AMC airing I think it was (from the days when AMC used to be a good channel)

reply

Yeah, I never got the DVD either, so I'm looking forward to it. And don't worry -- this isn't the one with Denzel Washington!

The DVD cover shows Dorothy Lamour wearing rather less than she actually does in the movie. Not sure if this was based on real poster art (not that I've seen) but it may help boost sales.

reply

Yeah, I don't believe Dorothy ever wore a two piece sarong or even a two piece swimsuit for that matter in any film she did.

reply

Yeah, and meanwhile Jon Hall was topless.

reply

Of course if there were closeups of Dorothy from the neck up, it would have given us the illusion of topless! :)

reply

Well, there were close-ups of Jon from the neck up, and all I got was an illusion of vacuousness!
