Paramount in the USA has announced the 4K UHD / Blu-ray release of the Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte classic cop movies 48 Hrs and Another 48 Hrs.
In 48 Hrs Eddie Murphy rocketed to movie star status (and earned a Best Actor Golden Globe nomination) in this acclaimed action comedy that pushes the limits of both genres. Nick Nolte is unforgettable as Jack Cates, a rough-edged Inspector on the hunt for two vicious cop-killers. Unlikely ride-along con Reggie Hammond (Murphy), is given 48-hour leave from prison to help Cates on the case. The laughs fly almost as much as the punches, as both men attempt two very different goals in a short amount of time.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
- 4K RESTORATION OF THE FILM
- DOLBY VISION/HDR PRESENTATION OF THE FILM
- NEW Filmmaker Focus: Director Walter Hill on 48 HRS. – Featurette
- Theatrical Trailer
- Space Kid—original 1966 animated short, which makes an appearance in the film
- Optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature
In Another 48Hrs the boys are back in town—in the smash sequel that reunites director Walter Hill with Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte. Eight years after the first 48 hours of mayhem, Reggie (Murphy) is about to be released from the pen. But, after the bus transporting him from the pen flips over (17 times), Inspector Jack Cates (Nolte) enlists the ex-con for another seemingly impossible two-day task to nail an elusive drug lord.
