Dragonslayer - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

An excellent release of a fun 80's classic. Highly recommended.

Awesome steelbook Title to add to anyones collection

This movie is gem from the 19-eighties, Perhaps underrated? It's good quality writing, story telling, filming locations, and has well cast actors. The most notable is the special effects. The practical effects are nothing short of remarkable, back then or now. The Wyvern/dragon modeling has been an inspiration and literal model for many big name modern movies and video games, save for some minor rough motion (which is no more unrealistic or eyesore than the hyper smooth motion of CGI) I dare say the practical effects are superior and more realistic than the modern CGI, especially which is so over used these days. The same format, where the monster comes out and does the predictable big roar before the big battle. Honestly that got old fast. I believe that is a testament to the laziness and lack vision and inspiration with modern movie makers. This film is a must have for anyone's collection.

I have been waiting for this film to hit home video in an acceptable format since before dirt was invented (AFAIK, the best available was a non-anamorphic DVD... and an import at that). When then UHD was announed, I was floored (but cautious). This disk is beyond what I was hoping for! The A/V is second-to-none, and the fact that it is pressed in the German plant (thus avoiding the damage inherent in anything from from the Mexican plant) is just an added plus! Highly recommended!

A title that has long been under-appreciated in Paramount’s catalogue, Dragonslayer finally gets the pristine transfer it deserves. This Disney co-production features the most impressive dragon to ever be depicted on screen, and every detail is lovingly captured in this release.
