Weird Science

They Went From Zeroes To Heroes In One Fantastic Weekend.If you can't get a date... make one! After proving himself the king of heartfelt teen flicks with Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, writer-director John Hughes infused the genre with a hefty dose of wacked-out sci-fi comedy in Weird Science, a film where every teenage boy's wildest fantasies come to life.Perenially picked-on high school nerds Gary (Anthony Michael Hall, Sixteen Candles) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) are sick of their status at the bottom of the social food chain. Using Wyatt's computer, the two hatch a plan to create their dream woman - and following a massive power surge, that woman unexpectedly appears in the form of Lisa (Kelly LeBrock). Gorgeous, intelligent, and blessed with limitless magic powers, Lisa makes the boys' dreams come true... but what about Wyatt's gun-toting psycho older brother Chet (Bill Paxton), and the two bullies (Robert Downey Jr and Vamp's Robert Rusler) determined to put them back in their place?Inspired by EC Comics and boosted by a killer soundtrack (including the classic title theme by Oingo Boingo), Weird Science has never looked better than in this new special edition, including an exclusive extended version of the film featuring deleted scenes never released on home video before.Special Edition Contents:New restoration by Arrow Films from a 4K scan of the original negativeHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation of the original Theatrical Version of the film (94 mins), plus seamlessly-branched exclusive Extended Version (97 mins), featuring two additional scenes newly remastered in high-definitionOriginal lossless stereo audio, plus 5.1 DTS-HD MA surround option (theatrical version only)Original English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingEdited-for-TV version of the film (SD only, 95 mins), plus comparison featurette highlighting the alternate dubs and takesOption to watch additional scenes from the Extended Version separatelyNewly-filmed interview with special makeup creator Craig ReardonNewly-filmed interview with composer Ira NewbornNewly-filmed interview with supporting actor John KapelosAll-new interview with casting director Jackie BurchIt's Alive: Resurrecting Weird Science, an archive documentary featuring interviews with cast, crew and admirers, including star Anthony Michael HallTheatrical trailers and TV spotsImage galleryReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tracie ChingFirst Pressing Only : Illustrated collectors' booklet featuring new writing on the film by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Amanda Reyes
