Got a copy direct from the source. Yes, the set is a UK release, but anyone worldwide with a region 2 player can of course order their copy for international shipment from for example amazon.co.uk or play.com.
Good review. Will be getting this for sure, though I'll wait a month before placing order in case they announce a R1 release. I sincerely hope they do. Shame they didn't improve the video, it doesn't even compare to the actual season 1 release of Pilot which had more vibrant colors, this one seems to have dull tone. And no 5.1 audio? Most shocking, but not surprising, is lack of extras. Yeah behind the scenes pics are nice but how hard it is to get some interviews of the cast or the crew?
lets wait till the dvd and the blu ray actually gets released before we pass judgement eh

Seems like DVD has been sent out earlier than blu-ray. I doubt, Blu-ray would be any different, but I will hold out passing judgment on it. But from the reviews it still seems that not much effort was invested in this release, of the DVD at least. Because that's what I'll be getting as blu-ray would be useless here as I can't play it unless we get an R1 release.
Amazon are mad there giving a Delivery Estimate to somet that hasn't been dispatched yet

Update Feb 24 A Blu-ray copy finally came available for review as well.
Fans hoping for a remastered, high quality copy will be disapointed as this Blu-ray release comes with the same 2ch audio spec as the DVD and the same video source. Video is 1080i (interlaced) and not full HD 1080p/24 (progressive scan). Black bars to the left and right of the picture since its in its original 4:3 format. We doubt those with DVD players who can up-scale a normal DVD to 1080i can spot any difference between the two formats. The Blu-ray comes with no additional features than the DVD, but the still gallery is of higher quality in full 1080p. So to sum it up, those with DVD players only are not missing out with this release.
Most shocking, but not surprising, is lack of extras. Yeah behind the scenes pics are nice but how hard it is to get some interviews of the cast or the crew?
Cast, yes; to an extent. Crew, absolutely not. And if you bide your time, you may well be pleasantly surprised come next year.

My blu-ray copy of Airwolf the Movie arrived today 26th February and i am not happy with the film at all the picture is worse than the DVD copy that came with the tv series and the black borders are massive on the left and right side of the screen , not worth the money , best to avoid this. I think i will keep watching the DVD Version and i suggest all Airwolf fans do the same.
pmsl> We are preparing these items for dispatch and this portion of your order cannot be cancelled or changed. oh well lol can always flogg it out of the back of a lorry

I read the review this evening. It's well written, but there's one technical detail that's incorrect. It mentions a Laserdisc digital release. Laserdisc format is analogue though, with only the audio being digital.

Nice! Couple of nitpicks about the cover image. Airwolf doesn't have that sort of rotor head and I don't remember the sponsons being full-on wings.
I am not sure why you think that because you are incorrect. That is the normal Bell 222 AIRWOLF rotorhead and the Bell 222/AIRWOLF always had stub wings for the landing gear.
You must not be familiar with AIRWOLF nor the Bell 222. Look again at other AIRWOLF/Bell 222 pics and you will see what I mean.
My only complaint about the cover artwork photo is the photo shopped the white air vents off the windows with a black strip.
I am not sure why they did that, but they've done it on every AIRWOLF DVD Season 1, 2, and 3.
Umm, as a person that know's 222's and Airwolf, I would have to say it is you sir that is incorrect. The rotor head that was shown in the pic that Airwolf04 had raised concerns over was something that was more like something off a Russian chopper. The rotor head on the 222 was much different. As for the "stub wings", he was referring to the fact they were too extended. A 222's "stub wings" are called sponsons. Airwolf04 has plenty of knowledge in his field and quite frankly, I see no error in his comment.

I think I see where this post came from. Airwolf04 was referring to this image, posted by strokemondeo:
Thankfully, it bears little resemblance to blu-ray cover art.

In these "review" it is not mentioned that the dvd contains a 15 minute ducumentary with a interview by Mr. Ernest Borgnine, where he talks about working with Jan-Michael Vincent, how the actors were not allowed to go up in the helicopters, alot of behind the scenes stories which make this dvd a must for hard core Airwolf fans. The interview with Mr. Borgnine alone is worth getting the dvd.
after 1994 ... this is a good news that now i will watch this movie in such brilliant graphics.

This is the site I check before buying anything on blu-ray, sadly no screenshots or full review where they do a complete technical check/analysis on audio & video: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Airwolf-Blu-ray/19983/
Looks good and promising!
