The 1999 film “Big Helium Dog“ comes to Blu-ray Disc on September 16th via SModCastle Cinema. This release will be distributed by MVD Entertainment Group. Brian Lynch wrote and directed the movie. Kevin Smith executive-produced the film. It starred Michael Ian Black, Erik Stolhanske, Kevin Heffernan, Matt Kawczynski, Lorene Scafaria, Brian Quinn, Ming Chen, and Kevin Smith. This features members of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe.

This comes from a new transfer and restoration of the 16mm original camera negative. The tech specs for the release include a 1080p HD video presentation in the 1.33:1 aspect ratio and uncompressed PCM 2.0 Stereo sound.

RUMOR: “Super Troopers 2” is coming to Blu-ray Disc in July

UPDATE: Amazon has posted what would seem to be the official cover art, pictured above, on the PRE-ORDER page.

According to an early alert to retailers it would seem that Fox plans to bring the 2018 Broken Lizard film “Super Troopers 2” to Blu-ray Disc on July 17th. This comes from the pre-order listing over on Best Buy. The title is also available for PRE-ORDER over at Amazon, which now features the same release date. CONFIRMED!

No word yet regarding tech specs or bonus material, just that it will be a “combo pack” – including both Blu-ray Disc, DVD as well as a Digital Copy of the film. Also, sadly it would appear there are NO plans for a 4K UHD Blu-ray release of the film, as it was shot at only 2.8K resolution, plus it didn’t do too well at the box office or with critics. On that note though, I personally, I actually saw the film and liked it.

Also the boys have posted a video promoting the release, discussing what all it will feature in terms of bonus materials. The video can be found below (after the break), via Twitter.
