Paramount Pictures UK will release on Blu-ray Arthur Penn's Target (1985), starring Gene Hackman, Matt Dillon, and Gayle Hunnicutt. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on February 27.
Description: Gene Hackman (Behind Enemy Lines) and Matt Dillon (There's Something About Mary) are the distant father and son suddenly swept into a world of international intrigue in this action-packed spy drama directed by Arthur Penn (Little Big Man). Texas teenager Chris Lloyd (Dillon) finds his father Walter (Hackman) unremarkable, ordinary… and sometimes exasperating. But with his mother's (Gayle Hunnicutt) mysterious disappearance in Paris, Chris finds himself entangled in an incredible web of danger, suspense and deception. Determined to find her, father and son must put aside their differences and begin a deadly race against time in an odyssey across Europe. Twists and turns abound in this fast-paced, action-adventure thriller.
Paramount are reissuing lots of their PC titles so guessing they’re no longer collaborating with HMV. They’re also doing The Quiet Man, so I expect the Eureka disc will soon be OOP…
Paramount's releasing pattern has all the grouping of a drunken hillbilly with a shotgun. Some turn up in the US, quickly followed by a release in Germany, while random titles hit the Fatherland first before they come to the UK and finally wind up Stateside. On second thoughts, that's not a shotgun - it's more like the infamous "magic bullet".
