In case anyone is interested, the picture quality of the Smokey And The Bandit BD is quite extraordinary - utterly superb.

The DTS-HD soundtrack is amazing too, but possibly too amazing (!) as the stereo movement (I don't have a surround system) and newly overdubbed non-original sound FX are a bit distracting and "modern" sounding. This might just be unfamiliarity on my part though. Sadly there is no original mono option in English.

A superb disk, I recommend it highly.

I saw it at Amazon and, if you want to order it and this isn't too cheeky, could you use the affiliate link by the side of my review*?

Source Code Blu-ray Review

*This goes for all Amazon purchases and helps me with running costs.
