Fast & Furious has become one of the biggest movie franchises in the world, but we shouldn’t forget that the first movie in that sprawling series was mocked as being little more than a street racing-themed rip-off of Point Break. While the classic action flick starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze didn’t spawn any sequels, Point Break’s influence is still felt 30 years after it originally came out. And this summer, the movie is getting a snazzy new 4K steelbook release that collectors and fans alike will want on their shelves. It arrives on July 2, and you can preorder today.
$36
This slick 4K steelbook from Shout Factory includes both 4K and standard Blu-ray editions of the film, along with a handful of behind-the-scenes featurettes and a digital copy code, and of course an all-new collectible steelbookcase. You can secure your copy for $36 at Amazon and Walmart.
$31
If you don’t want to wait until July to get Point Break in 4K, there’s a non-steelbook 4K Blu-ray release available right now for $31 at Amazon and Walmart. The contents of the two releases are identical–it’s just the packaging that’s different. So if you aren’t overly concerned with how beautiful a movie looks sitting on your shelf, you can save a little time and money by ordering this version instead of the steelbook.
Point Break is just the latest in a recent wave of classic movies with new 4K Blu-ray releases on the way. RoboCop 2 is getting a Collector’s Edtion 4K Blu-ray later this year, while one of Tom Cruise’s best action movies, Collateral, is getting a 4K steelbook edition. And though it’s not a new release, the 4K steelbook edition of The Fifth Element just got a reprint.
If you’re looking for comedies, limited-edition 4K Blu-rays of the original SpongeBob Squarepants Movie, South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut, and Team America: World Police are all on the way. Meanwhile, the Weird Al comedy UHF is getting its first-ever 4K release soon, too. All of these new releases are available for preorder at Amazon.
