If you’re a seasoned 4K Blu-ray collector, or even if you’re just getting started, you may have noticed that sometimes there are multiple versions of the same movie available. Often the differences can be as simple as a few new special features, or even just new packaging; sometimes however, it’s worth looking a little deeper.
As part of our Blu-ray Bounty feature, where we review the latest 4K Blu-ray releases each month, I tested The Warriors: Collector’s Edition. At first, I thought it was just new packaging with some cool new stickers, posters, and a new case. But upon closer inspection, I noted that it was in fact Paramount’s — the original distributor of the movie — own 4K restoration and not the Arrow Video version that I had in my own collection.
