Woods steals the whole show--in fact, he is the whole show--in one of his best, most manic performances in Cop. Director James B. Harris, didn't direct many films, but what he did was always interesting: The Bedford Incident, Some Call it Loving (which I believe is also new to Bluray), Fast-Walking, Cop, and Boiling Point. The film was based on a James Ellroy series of books about cop Lloyd Hopkins. It's a shame that they didn't make any more.

JRiR, I'm glad someone else is familiar with the really obscure Some Call it Loving. I saw it many years ago--sometime around 1981--and have always remembered it for its unique plot and ambience. I can't say that it's a complete success, but it sure is an interesting film--and it has a young Richard Pryor too.
YW, Woods gave some sensational performances between 1979 and 1989, starting with The Onion Field, which is one of his best. In fact, just about everything he did during the 80s was memorable: Split Image, Videodrome, Cop, Salvador, Once Upon a Time in America, Against All Odds, The Boost, Best Seller, True Believer...just an amazing body of work. Even when the film itself didn't quite work--Against All Odds--Woods was always fantastic.

Kino Lorber is going to release Up the Creek (1984) later this year. It´s definitely time to revisit this one!
And i agree that all the James Woods films mentioned are excellent stuff! Still don´t have Fast Walking though.

One of the big things about these Blu Ray releases is that many of them also come with concurrent DVD releases for those who haven't got Blu Ray players.
Some of them have nice new special features included, but it's a royal pain trying to find out what ones have what. Olive Films for instance - don't bother listing special features on many of their films, even when they have them - why?!
Deadly Prey - the greatest action movie of all time - is getting a release this year.
