![To Live and Die in L.A. [Blu-Ray] [Region Free] (English audio. English subtitles)](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71c-blxx9uL.jpg)
William Petersen (Manhunter, TV’s CSI) and Willem Dafoe (Platoon, Mississippi Burning) face off in a deadly game of cat and mouse in this riveting action-thriller directed by cinema legend William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist, Sorcerer). Full of style and grit, this raw tale of corruption and revenge boasts one of the most harrowing car chases ever caught on film and a shockingly explosive ending. Federal agent Richard Chance (Petersen) has a score to settle, and he’s through playing by the rules. Whether that means blackmailing a beautiful parolee, disobeying direct orders or hurtling the wrong way down a crowded freeway, he vows to take down a murderous counterfeiter (Dafoe) by any means necessary. But as the stakes grow higher, will Chance’s dark obsession with vengeance destroy him? The ultimate ’80s neo-noir, To Live and Die in L.A. features John Pankow, Debra Feuer, John Turturro, Darlanne Fluegel and Dean Stockwell, with cinematography by Robby Müller (Paris, Texas) that captures the City of Angels from the trendy elegance of Rodeo Drive to the seedy, neon glow of Hollywood.Special Features:DISC 1 (4KUHD):• Brand New HDR/Dolby Vision Master – From a 4K Scan of the Original Camera Negative | Audio Commentary by Director William Friedkin• 5.1 Surround and 2.0 Lossless Audio• Triple-Layered UHD100 Disc• Optional English SubtitlesDISC 2 (BLU-RAY):• Brand New HD Master – From a 4K Scan of the Original Camera Negative• Audio Commentary by Director William Friedkin• TAKING A CHANCE: Interview with Actor William Petersen (20:41)• RENAISSANCE WOMAN IN L.A.: Interview with Actress Debra Feuer (14:55)• DOCTOR FOR A DAY: Interview with Actor Dwier Brown (8:52)• SO IN PHASE – SCORING TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.: Interview with Composers Wang Chung (12:43)• WRONG WAY – THE STUNTS OF TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.: Interview with Stunt Coordinator Buddy Joe Hooker (35:38)• COUNTERFEIT WORLD – THE MAKING OF TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.: Documentary (29:49)• Deleted Scene and Alternate Ending with Introductions (13:06)• Radio Spot• Theatrical Trailer• 5.1 Surround and 2.0 Lossless Audio• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc• Optional English Subtitles

Great 4K restoration
Reviews of this restoration have been mixed online but I honestly couldn't fault it. This is perfect to own in 4K if you love this film like I do. Why wouldn't you want to see 80s William Petersen's crotch in the highest quality possible?Beware UK buyers though, despite loving Kino Lorber's restoration and their sleek slipcover, I was disappointed that I couldn't play the special features as it was region A locked. These can be viewed on YouTube so it's not a big deal, but it's worth knowing before you buy.PS: I would love Manhunter (1986) in 4K so I can run a home cinema double feature. Petersen is fantastic in that too, and the films thematically work with one another.

Classic Film given the Kino 4k Treatment
Classic Film given the Kino 4k TreatmentI ordered from the uk and it took about 5 days to arrive so excellent service , just to note for collectors it did NOT have a slipcover as of order time 4/9/23.The 4k is again a superb Kino treatment with excellent detail and colour, plenty of depth and detail, they are a top notch studio for 4k releases.

Bonus disc is only playable on Region A !!!!!!
Great 4 K transfer on disc 1. Disc 2 blu ray with all the extras can only be played on Region A. I havent got a region free DVD player. This should be mentioned on the 4K DVD release. Luckily i have the Arrow blu ray release which has more extras and i can watch that.

Classic thriller.
This classic thriller still maintains it's punch.This edition has East Asian subtitles which is a little irritating for an English speaker, since the film is in English.
