Into the Night(1985)
Ed Okin's life is somewhat out of control. He can't sleep, his wife betrays him and his job is dull. One night he starts to drive through Los Angeles and he finally ends in the parking garage of L.A. Airport. Moments later a beautiful young lady jumps onto his bonnet and he finds himself being chased by four Iranians. What follows is a wild chase through the streets of Los Angeles and a very funny one too. For more about Into the Night and the Into the Night Blu-ray release, see Into the Night Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Stephen Larson on October 27, 2017 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5. Director: John Landis Writer: Ron Koslow Starring: Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, John Landis, David Bowie, Stacey Pickren, Carmen Argenziano Producer: George Folsey Jr. » See full cast & crew Into the Night Blu-ray, Video QualityInto the Night officially makes its North American debut courtesy of Shout Select (#35 in the sub-label's series) on this MPEG-4 AVC-encoded BD-50. It appears in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Readers will be anxious to know whether this "new restored master" is sourced from the recent Universal restoration that screened at the Berlinale for the Classics program and La Biennale di Venezia last month. I'm uncertain whether it is or not but can state that it's sourced from a remaster. However, in my eyes, this remaster was not prepared after a new 2K/4K scan of the original negative. While the print looks relatively clean in the sense that it contains hardly any damage marks, some obvious limitations pop out that make me surmise it originates from a DVD era master. Robert Paynter's Technicolor has a generally drab and dark look in both day and night scenes. For example, the semi close-up of Ackroyd in Screenshot #18 shares those characteristics and has sub-par contrast. Skin tones are on the pink/redish side (see #s 9-11). A considerable amount of grain has been removed in the aerial shot (#20) of the airport runway during the main titles. You can also notice some noise in #1. There is also black crush in places and detail is not pronounced as it should stand out more. The red hues on Pfeiffer's Napa calf jacket are strong but none of the other colors exude any vibrancy. The transfer does maintain the soft neon appearance that at least one reviewer noted in a release print. In sum, the palette is very inconsistent. My Video score is 3.25. On the plus side, authoring and compression are superior to Elephant Films' region-free French BD-25 released last year. Shout's video bitrate averages 31995 kbps while the FR clocks in at 19.99 Mbps. It's possible that both transfers are taken from the same old remaster. Consumers who owned Region 2/4 DVDs of Into the Night will be pleased with the Shout transfer as the SD discs suffered from combing after the NTSC to PAL conversion. Shout has provided sixteen scene selections. Into the Night Blu-ray, Audio QualityInto the Night's original monaural mix is rendered on Shout's disc as DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Dual Mono (1572 kbps, 24-bit). Dialogue is clear enough in the center channel. Background hiss is a non-issue. The three songs by B.B. King as well as the other ballads on the sound track come through with sparkling clarity. They're spread well on the the fronts but a 2.0 or 4.0 stereo remix would have been an added bonus. English SDH (feature only) are available to turn on through the menu or via remote.
