EDITORIAL NOTE: This movie has previously been released on the 4K UHD Blu-ray format as a part of what was called “ZAZ: The Collection!,” released back in 2024. That box set has since gone OOP (out of print) and goes for crazy prices. You can find the other two films in that set are each coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray individually. First, on November 4th, “The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!“ comes to 4K UHD Blu-ray. Then, on December 9th, “Top Secret!“ will also come to 4K UHD Blu-ray. Those titles are both now available for preorder at Amazon.
