June 11 has been circled on the release calendar as the street date for a 4K Ultra HD SteelBook edition of director Luc Besson’s La Femme Nikita. That’s the first one; excellent choice!
It’s rare that a foreign language action film becomes part of the popular culture, but Anne Parillaud’s performance (along with Jeanne Moreau and Jean Reno) made this a keeper when it arrived theatrically in April of 1991 (1990 in France).
Indeed, Warner Bros. thought so much of the film that they made a domestic English-language remake in 1993 with Bridget Fonda in the lead.
Bonus features include a new commentary track featuring Cobra Kai creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, deleted scenes, the featurette titled “Remembering The Karate Kid” and over 30 minutes worth of newly discovered deleted scene “dailies.”
Other bonus goodie include a vintage commentary with Avildsen, actors Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita, plus writer Robert Mark Kamen and four archived featurettes — “The Way of The Karate Kid,” “Beyond the Form,” “East Meets West: A Composer’s Notebook” and “Life of Bonsai.”
