The Tarantino brand is so strong in True Romance that we consider it his film even after he says that Tony Scott took the story in directions he wouldn’t. The episodic script, a crime spree for fun and profit, is an autobiographical wish-fulfillment fantasy about ‘going to Hollywood.’ In gloomy Detroit, the lowly but ultra-cool comic book store clerk Clarence Worley (Christian Slater) drives a purple Cadillac convertible and spends his nights in grindhouse theaters watching Kung Fu epics. Switch out the comic books for a video rental store and Clarence is Mr. QT to a tee. True Romance is presented in 4K UHD courtesy of Arrow Video with a 2160p transfer in 2.35:1.

Cadillac Man (HD; 7:51) is a fun piece featuring Dan Storm, a superfan who ended up with the iconic purple Cadillac from the film, Brad Pitt's stoner character in True Romance, Floyd, was the inspiration for making the film Pineapple Express, according to producer Judd Apatow, who "thought it would be funny to make a movie in which you follow that character out of his apartment and watch him get chased by bad guys".

Breathtaking action set pieces and unforgettably snappy dialogue combine with a murderers’ row of sensational performances from a stunning ensemble cast in Scott and Tarantino’s blood-soaked, bullet-riddled valentine, finally restored in dazzling 4K with hours of brilliant bonus features. The DVD was released on September 24, 2002, as a Two-Disc set. [36] It was later released on Blu-ray on May 26, 2009. [37] Again, these releases only contain the director's cut, the theatrical cut remained excluded. The film was a breakthrough for Tarantino. Released after Reservoir Dogs, it was his first screenplay for a major motion picture, and Tarantino contends that it is his most autobiographical film to date. He had hoped to direct the film, but lost interest in directing and sold the script. According to Tarantino's audio commentary on the DVD release, he was happy with the way it turned out. Apart from changing the nonlinear narrative he wrote to a more conventional linear structure, it was largely faithful to his original screenplay. He initially opposed director Tony Scott's decision to change the ending (which Scott maintained was of his own volition, not the studio's, saying "I just fell in love with these two characters and didn't want to see them die"). When seeing the completed film, he realized Scott's happy ending was more appropriate to the film as Scott directed it. [13] The film's first act, as well as some fragments of dialogue, were repurposed from Tarantino's 1987 amateur film My Best Friend's Birthday. [14] The restoration work has cleaned up things beautifully, nary a mark or scratch present. HDR10 and Dolby Vision also boost things wonderfully when it comes to rendering the coloursonce things move down to L.A., not so much in Detroit (though the diner and comic bookstore manage to throw in some sharp blues and reds). There’s a scene where Saul Rubinek’s character is driving along the highway at what appears to be sunset, and I thought the coloursin the sky and how the sun hits his face allhad a wonderful pop to them.

The linked review is however still Arrow also includes what looks to be the raw interview footage featuring Scott, Slater, Arquette, Hopper and Oldman, running about 13-minutes altogether. Some of this footage does appear in the featurettes but there’s additional footage here that includes both Hopper and Oldman talking about this up-and-comer named Tarantino, Hopper seeming specially smitten. Both the Theatrical Edition and Director’s Cut arrive on the same disc via seamless branching with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio in 2160p with Dolby Vision HDR (HDR10 is of course included). With any Tony Scott movie you have to take the man’s kinetic gritty filmmaking style with the substance. The man loved his film grain and he loved his smokey interiors resulting in a movie that’s probably best described as “beautifully ugly” but true to the film. Over the years I’ve gotten to see film prints screened several times and this is the best I’ve seen this film look.
