Bonus Features: Kubrick’s ‘Full Metal Jacket’ gets 4K UHD release on Sept. 22

Thirty-three years after it first hit theaters, Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 Vietnam War epic “Full Metal Jacket” is heading home in stunning remastered 4K resolution. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack as well as 4K digital downloads on Sept. 22.

The expected retail price for the “Full Metal Jacket” 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack is $24.99.

In “Full Metal Jacket” a superb ensemble falls in for Kubrick’s brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killers. The scathing indictment of a film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Screenplay. ‘Joker’ (Matthew Modine), ‘Animal Mother’ (Adam Baldwin), ‘Gomer’ (Vincent D’Onofrio), ‘Eightball’ (Dorian Harewood) and ‘Cowboy’ (Arliss Howard) are some of the Marine recruits experiencing boot-camp hell under the punishing command of the foul-mouthed Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermy). The action is savage, the story unsparing, and the dialogue is spiked with scathing humor.
