What Is This?, Jun 19 2011
By R. Brusca - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Airwolf: The Movie (DVD)
AIRWOLF: THE MOVIEStarring Jan-Michael Vincent, Ernest Borgnine and Alex Cord
Featuring Fully Restored, Uncensored Presentation of the Telefilm,
All-New Interview w/Academy Award-winner Ernest Borgnine and more!
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THIS FEATURE-LENGTH MOVIE WILL FINALLY BE MADE AVAILABLE TO NORTH AMERICAN VIEWERS
I know what you are saying. "Isn't this already out?" Yes, the TV movie that kicked off the series was released on the season 1 set back in 2005, but that's not exactly what this release is. The Shout! Factory press release didn't explain exactly what it was that's coming on September 6, so I'll clarify it for you.
Airwolf: The Movie was originally released in the United Kingdom as a standalone TV movie, not as a pilot for a series. Their cut of the movie featured scenes that were moved around, or removed, as well as some uncensored material that wasn't seen in the US (the cut is rated "18" in the UK), and scenes from "Mad Over Miami" added to it. It's this version that Shout! Factory and Fabulous Films is releasing, and why the press release mentioned it'll be on DVD "for the first time in the U.S. and Canada.
Fans wanting an absolutely complete set of Airwolf should know that this isn't something that's duplicated on the season 1 set. I strongly recommend it if you like Airwolf. You won't be disappointed.

Did I miss something??, Sep 10 2011

This review is from: Airwolf: The Movie (DVD)
I just watched this version of the TV Pilot. Ok, besides the few sprinkled f-bombs, I did not see anything to cause me to say "Hey... "I've never seen that". It also says "remastered"... from what? 16mm film? The video is still grainy, but considering when this was made, I won't hold it against them, but it sure doesn't look "cleaned up" or remastered from the master film. As to the ending, I could swear in the TV pilot they showed the "lair" where they keep Airwolf. In this new version it just flies back over the ocean towards home. If you already have the TV Pilot as part of Season 1, I don't see the need to add this to your collection.

Hmmmm.....wrong version to Bluray?, Nov 30 2011
By Steve P. - Published on Amazon.com
After having just viewed this UK release in so called Bluray(or so it is supposed to be), I am very disappointed in the quality of this disc. I get the feeling that this was NOT remastered from the original 35mm film the movie/pilot was filmed in, but, it looks moreso to be a freshening up of a VHS tape. This version is not even US pan/scan 1.33:1 (keeping in mind that PAL is a different format). The sides have been slightly cropped so the image on the screen is not as full as the US pan/scan version. If supposedly a Bluray release from the original tapes why wasn't the mastering done in 1.78:1? I suppose that the big giveaway that lends to a no-name copy is the omission of Universal's lead-in logo. All major theatrical releases have the studio lead in logo on the front end of the movie, on this one there is nothing at all. I come away thinking that if Universal ever decides to release a genuine Bluray do a remaster of the US release (pilot for the series). There is almost 12 minutes missing from this version that is included in the US version. Most of what is missing is at the end of the film, a few clips early in the movie plus the needed scene in the middle of the movie where Hawke & Dominic leave the cabin together (making up an excuse to Gabrielle)to *check-in* on the flying production on the *Belasarius* set, but in fact they are scouting the desert to find a safe place to keep the copter. That is an important portion of the film as it explains where the stolen helicopter will ultimately be hidden by Hawke, but it is completely omitted from the film. I feel that the US release needs the Bluray treatment, adding in some of the UK clips to make the overall movie even more complete. For those who remember the series pilot this UK film will just leave you left in your seat, looking for that which has ultimately been left on the cutting room floor. Big letdown.
