About this deal

Vibrant blues, laser reds - the signs are just the start of it, with the lighting searing across the scene. You can also watch the alternative ending with optional commentaries from either Scott or Tarantino. Both the Director’s Cut and the 2-minute shorter Theatrical Cut are pressed on a triple-layer BD-100 disc. Highlights look good but things are kept toned down a bit, nothing appearing overly hot yet still inching out some minor details. The biggest benefit of this fourth track is that it sounds as though Lucas is referencing an earlier version of the script that allows him to build off of Tarantino’s track when it comes to what was changed from paper to screen.

The behind-the-scenes footage is just that and features footage from the Hopper/Walken sequence and then scenes around the roller coaster later in the film. There are brief examinations of the careers of the film’s now incredibly impressive cast and how those careers changed following this film, and Lucas even briefly gets into why the two cuts of the film exist. Closing the disc are galleries that feature over 70 production photos along with stills of posters and video art from around the world, alongside a collection of trailers that include the U. Despite that he found the experience working with him rewarding and he mentions how devastated he was when he learned of Scott’s death.

De Niro is a tour de force as Travis Bickle, the taxi driver who descends into madness though an unnerving sense of loneliness that culminates in one of the most brutal climaxes ever witnessed in cinema. Clarence Worley (Slater) isn’t only living a movie – he’s surrounded by them, wrapped in their influence, and enamored by their spectacle. Apart from changing the nonlinear narrative he wrote to a more conventional linear structure, it was largely faithful to his original screenplay.

Scott had a style and flair with his movies that allowed for some impressive visuals but kept a close intimacy with the characters.He’s numb to violence, reeling from hours of Sonny Chiba flicks and waving a gun like Charles Bronson.

Seeing as the two transfers are Identical, there's nothing new to offer here other than to say it's still a fantastic looking 4K disc. As a Tony Scott film through and through - at least visually - True Romance must have been one hell of a challenge to render in a way that is at once faithful to the original perceived intentions of the director and the look he gave it, replete with smoky, shadow-strewn rooms and blue light, but Arrow have done a stand-up job. The day after they’re on the run from the mob and the cops after Clarence kills Alabama’s pimp (Gary Oldman) and accidentally leaves with a suitcase of drugs instead of her clothes. Between Tarantino’s full tilt boogie of a script, and Scott’s trademark kinetic style, the film moves breathlessly forward, as Clarence and Alabama try to sell the drugs, whilst being pursued by a bunch of very scary people who want it back. Commentary by Tim Lucas is new to this edition and features unabashed fan Lucas proclaiming the virtues of the film.This ends up being the best new contribution and based on the original listing of supplements (for the 2021 UK edition) it looks like it was added last minute. The other two were a pair of ‘lovers-on-the-lam’ thrillers, which although drawn from the same well (the Starkweather killings) couldn’t be more different. MSN Movies wrote: "With just a few minutes of screen time, Gary Oldman crafts one of cinema's most memorable villains: the brutal, dreadlocked pimp Drexl Spivey.
