Since posting the Shout! Factory/Fabulous Films
press release about the upcoming DVD of
Airwolf: The Movie being released for the first time, we've been inundated with emails saying "that's already out!" Yes, the TV movie that kicked off the series was released on the season 1 set back in 2005, but that's not exactly what this release is. The Shout! Factory press release didn't explain exactly what it was that's coming on
September 6, so we'll clarify it for you.
Airwolf: The Movie was originally released in the United Kingdom as a standalone TV movie, not as a pilot for a series. Their cut of the movie featured scenes that were moved around, or removed, as well as some uncensored material that wasn't seen in the US (the cut is rated "18" in the UK), and scenes from "Mad Over Miami" added to it. It's this version that Shout! Factory and Fabulous Films is releasing, and why the press release mentioned it'll be on DVD "for the first time in the U.S. and Canada."
Fans wanting an absolutely complete set of
Airwolf should know that this isn't something that's duplicated on the season 1 set.
