Scarface The Ultimate Collector’s Edition 4K / Five Nights at Freddy’s The Ultimate Collector’s Edition 4K (Universal Pictures Home Entertainment)

Much like Tony Montana in a hail of bullets, our love of Scarface refuses to die, a gripping tale of guts above all in the kill-or-be-killed Miami cocaine scene of the 1980s. This Amazon exclusive lands with 4K and Blu-ray in a brand-new SteelBook case, plus an ICONART metal portrait of the man himself, complete with a magnetic wall-mount. There’s a numbered certificate from the edition of 6,600, packed neatly in a handsome box with Tony’s trademark initials, like you might find on his desk… but without any unidentified white residue.

Josh Hutcherson stars as a security guard with troubles of his own before he begins spending his evenings with possessed robots. Another Amazon exclusive, Freddy returns on 4K to terrorize anyone who’s ever attended a birthday party at a particular themed family restaurant/arcade, with a few legacy behind-the-scenes tidbits and a SteelBook unique to this edition. ICONART strikes again, with a colorful metal poster of The Fazbear Gang, again limited to just 6.6K copies, delivered hot and fresh inside a pizzeria-style to-go box.

Did someone say “pizza”…?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy Limited Edition 4K UHD (Arrow)

Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s super-team wasted no time in its meteoric rise from independent comic book to kids’ cartoon (and wildly popular tie-in toy line) and ultimately onto the big screen:

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991)

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)

Across this original trilogy, these anthropomorphic reptiles with mad martial arts skillz battle Shredder and his evil Foot Clan in the sewers, on the streets and rooftops of New York City; square off against a pair of new foes created by the last of the mysterious mutagenic ooze; and travel back in time to feudal Japan to rescue their friend April. Brought to life with advanced animatronic costumes made by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop (for I and II at least), Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo (Mikey to his friends) brought no shortage of quips and kicks to ticket-buying audiences of the early ‘90s.

The 4K debut of the films arrives in new restorations by Arrow Films, all with vintage lossless stereo; I has an alternate, censored stereo track as well, plus a new Atmos track; II and III offer 5.1. The three cases contain reversible sleeve art, there are three double-sided foldout movie posters, a collector’s booklet disguised as a pizzeria menu (with matching customer loyalty card), plus a set of trading cards and stickers of the heroes in a half-shell.

The Ninja Trilogy 4K (Kino Lorber Studio Classics)

More ninja triple features, anyone? Cannon Films had no illusions about giving the VHS market of the era what they wanted: low-budget, high-concept action, with details like story and character strictly optional. Yet, in this pursuit, they helped write the playbook for the burgeoning American ninja craze, thanks in large part to star Sho Kosugi, a bona fide martial artist who appears in all three films, albeit as three different characters:

• Enter the Ninja (1981)

• Revenge of the Ninja (1983)

• Ninja III: The Domination (1984)

An army vet travels to the Philippines to help a friend fend off an evil ninja warrior, a reluctant hero must smash a drug ring, and finally the spirit of a slain ninja possesses an aerobics instructor who sets upon a vengeful path… and we might never look upon V8 juice the same way again. The absurdity is big part of the appeal, as are the new 4K scans with Dolby Vision. Enter and Revenge have expert audio commentaries, Revenge and Domination have commentary by director Sam Firstenberg and stunt coordinator Steven Lamb, while Domination has an isolated score and more.

Pride & Prejudice Twentieth Anniversary Collector’s Edition 4K (Universal Pictures Home Entertainment)

Shifting gears, there’s a lot to like about director Joe Wright’s 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen’s most popular novel, even for folks not typically fond of costume dramas. The naturalistic visual style, particularly of the bustling, lived-in Bennet house; the brisk pacing and the performances across the board make this one captivating from start to finish. (Can you believe that’s Tom from Succession? Speaking of Toms, Tom Hollander–no, not Spider-Man–is a revelation as Mr. Collins.) The movie has received a Dolby Vision/Atmos upgrade, and note that the 4K and Blu-ray discs here contain the extended U.S. version only. Past bonus features carry over, and the premium new packaging incorporates an oversized, 42-page hardbound DiscBook in a charming slipcase, featuring a foreword from Wright and extensive input from cast and crew, plus sketches, script excerpts and some lovely photography.

Airport The Complete 4-Film Collection 4K (Kino Lorber Studio Classics)

The Airport franchise quickly went from a fairly straight ensemble drama, adapted from Arthur Hailey’s novel about the inner workings of then-nebulous ports of the air, to a series of increasingly wild disaster movies that were all the rage at the box office. Fasten your seatbelts for a cavalcade of stars, stars and more stars–from Charlton to Charo–that hits every demographic, as together we face midair collisions, underwater rescues and supersonic pursuit. In this rigid-boxed, 4K-only set, KLSC has collected the entire run with new Dolby Vision masters scanned from the best available 35mm elements, on 100GB discs with 5.1 and lossless 2.0 audio:

• Airport (1970)

• Airport 1975

• Airport ’77

• The Concorde… Airport ’79

Inside the first-class packaging you’ll find an exclusive booklet in the seatback pocket, and a new expert commentary is supplied for each movie.

Two and a Half Men The Complete Series Blu-ray (Warner)

“Charlie,” a gleefully womanizing perpetual bachelor, lets his sad-sack brother Alan (Jon Cryer) move in, with Alan’s tween slacker son Jake, and more than a decade of boundary-pushing sexually explicit humor ensued. The final four seasons (from 12) of Two and a Half Men are proof indeed that there is life after Charlie Sheen, fired from the hit sitcom despite being the main character. Not just raunchy, the exploits of this decidedly odd couple (plus .5) stayed pithy throughout, and the arrival of Ashton Kutcher as Walden, a brokenhearted internet billionaire who becomes Alan’s new roommate/landlord, took the show in a fresh yet familiar direction. Fans had been requesting a high-definition release for a long time and this complete series set marks the first time any episodes of the show have been made available in the Blu-ray format. Among the 25 discs are multiple commentaries, gag reels and assorted featurettes from the DVD days, and even a meta-crossover episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation where the comedy writers scripted the drama and the drama writers scripted the comedy.

Tom and Jerry: The Golden Era Anthology (1940-1958) Blu-ray (Warner Archive Collection)

Even middlin’ fans of America’s favorite cat-and-mouse duo can surely get excited about this one: For the first time ever, all 114 of Jerry & Tom’s theatrical shorts created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera are collected into one 1080p set, all uncut and uncensored on five Blu-ray discs. Culturally, some have aged better than others, but we’re finally free to make our own judgments as we indulge in bygone comedy stylings and sumptuous hand-rendered animation. There’s a scattering of 20 audio commentaries on select cartoons, plus the special sixth disc contains more than three hours of extras, among them two new retrospective featurettes. Exclusive to this Blu-ray collection is a booklet of artwork and essays that provides welcome historical context.

Curb Your Enthusiasm The Complete Series Blu-ray (HBO/Warner)

It takes a lot of confidence to portray an exaggerated–and highly unfavorable–version of “yourself” in a series of personal and professional situations, as Larry David did for 12 seasons on Curb. With a loosey-goosey improvisational script construct and terrific performances all around, from the regular troupe to weekly guest stars (many as semi-fictionalized versions of themselves), the show dependably yielded irresistibly uncomfortable moments. Commentary by producer/director Bob Weide and cast along with on-camera interviews show how they did it, with deleted scenes, a gag reel and quite a bit more here too. The on-again/off-again scheduling means that these 120 episodes span almost 25 years, including the transition from NTSC to ATSC, as well as the upgrade from 2.0 to 5.1, so the first six seasons are of previous-generation A/V quality and cropped from their original 4:3 to 16:9.
