This 4K Blu-ray release includes both 4K and standard Blu-ray discs, with both discs featuring a completely new scan of the film from the original negative. Otherwise, the special features have largely been re-used from the previous home video releases: the audio commentary with Weird Al and the director, video from a retrospective panel at Comic-Con 2014, deleted scenes, Easter eggs and more.

If you enjoyed UHF, you’ll almost certainly have a similarly good time with Weird: The Al Yankovich story, which stars Daniel Radcliffe in a completely made-up version of Weird Al’s life story. This release includes special features like an audio commentary from Weird Al and director Eric Appel, deleted and alternate scenes, featurettes, and video interviews with the cast.
This flick is currently a Walmart exclusive, though it’ll be available at Amazon and other retailers on July 2 for $40.

In UHF, Weird Al Yankovich plays the manager of a struggling local TV station, Channel 62, who manages to juice the ratings by putting on a bunch of random weird and stupid shows. When this tactic works spectacularly, a bigger rival station takes notice and then tries to take over Channel 62, leading to all sorts of fun hijinks. The movie has maintained a cult following in the 35 years since its release and is also notable as Yankovic’s first–and only–leading role in a movie.
A bunch of other cult flicks is getting 4K Blu-ray releases soon, including the American live-action version of the tokusatsu classic The Guyver and the often-overlooked RoboCop 2. Meanwhile, fans of irreverent comedies can preorder the upcoming 4K versions of The South Park Movie and Team America: World Police.
