The Wizard (Collector's Edition)

The year is 1989, and not only has Nintendo Mania taken much of the U.S. by storm, but at this time Nintendo Championships was very much a thing. And though on it's face this film seems like a 100min plug for Nintendo especially Super Mario Bros. 3 which at the time of the film's debut had not yet been released. there is an underlying story of two young half brothers who make their way to California two try to avoid the younger sibling end up in a mental facility. along the way they meet and befriend a young girl as well as discover the youngest boy is a natural video game wizard. Suggesting the young boy enter a video game contest taking place in L.A. to prove that he doesn't belong in a home, an unlikely partnership is formed, and the race is on as they are chased across the country by their families and a bounty hunter. can the trio make it to L.A. in time, and can they prove that the young boy really is special? I really love this film, and even after all these years, something about this film just really holds up well. It also takes me back to a simpler time before "smart phones," and "the world wide web," when families actually got together, even if was just going head to head in a friendly game of Rad Racer, or Double Dragon, but at least people were actually connecting with each other. this version Blu-ray released by SHOUT! Factory is as follows: 1080p from the 4K transfer Video: 1.85:1 Widescreen Audio: 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio

Very great film! A childhood favorite among Nintendo fans! Also has some great special features.

The movie came on time but one thing lacking is the slip cover for the wizard didn't come with it.

it came on time know problems.
