Sidekicks

I love this movie and watched it when I was a kid in the ‘90s growing up! Unfortunately, there have been some lines edited. (Thankfully, the subtitles still have the original lines) I guess because it was deemed “offensive.” Media SHOULD NEVER BE CENSORED! I don’t care what’s in it or how old it is! Leave it alone! Don’t make the decision for other people on whether something is offensive. We can make our own decisions! Don’t like it? Don’t watch. It’s what I do with a lot of the preachy crap that gets released now. Society is so weak and stupid.

I’m a huge fan of this film. So, first and foremost, thank you so much for finally making this available digitally — especially considering it’s not available on DVD or Blu-ray. However, this particular copy of the film has some static or crackling within the first 20 minutes or so. Also, there’s some editing that has occurred. In particular, during the airport scene where Mako arrives; the original, albeit racial, terminology has been changed. This is a bit unforgivable in my view since I feel films shouldn’t be altered from their original selves. I was quite surprised by it. Other than this, the picture looks fantastic and it’s a wonderful to finally see it in such great quality. I just wish they wouldn’t have messed with it in editing.

FINALLY!!!!

I grew up watching this film. I was 10 when it came out and still love it to this day. I’ve been waiting for an HD release to come around. 4K?! I’ll take it!
