Yes….Darkman!
If you are a fan of this movie then this deserves a double dip just for the special features! Here is what you get as far as bonus features: Interview with Liam Neeson (1080p; 7:29). Neeson has very clear memories of this film, including other actors who were up for his role. He evidently loved working with Raimi and offers some fun anecdotes about the shoot. The Name is Durant with Larry Drake (1080p; 15:59). Drake is a lot of fun in this interview, talking about the hazards of being typecasting as well as why he liked working on Darkman. The Face of Revenge with Makeup Designer Tony Gardner (1080p; 13:21) is a really interesting piece detailing the film’s makeup effects. Henchmen Tales (1080p; 12:57) profiles some of the other bad guys in the film. Dark Design (1080p; 16:46) looks at the film’s production design and includes interviews with Randy Ser. An Interview with Frances McDormand (1080p; 10:50). McDormand talks about her history with the Coen Brothers and Sam Raimi. Unbelievable but true fact: she was a word processor answering fan mail for AC/DC when she was cast in this film. The clips in this piece are weirdly anamorphically squeezed for some reason. Darkman Featurette (1080i; 6:26) is a vintage piece. Cast and Crew Interviews (1080i; 8:59) are more vintage offerings. Vintage Interview Galleries include: Colin Friels (1080i; 12:14) Frances McDormand (1080i; 20:43) Liam Neeson (1080i; 28:02) Sam Raimi (1080i; 23:09) Audio Commentary with Director of Photography Bill Pope and Michael Felsher.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!

Classic Sam Raimi
I’m a big Sam Raimi fan. Somehow that ended up with me being a fan of Bruce Campbell. Although Bruce is a rather minor cameo in this film, I’m here because it’s created by Sam.This is an anti-hero original movie created just after the successes off Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. It stars Liam Neeson, and Sam has worked on superhero films before from the Marvel universe. Specifically the first three live action Spider-Man films with Toby McGuire, and later on Dr. Strange the multiverse of madness.This film is not perfect. Like some of the earlier superhero films this film does have its issues. Before The successes of Spider-Man 1, super hero films kind of were hit and miss and sort of gritty. I think mystery Men stands up above the crowd mostly for its star power.This movie is about a man who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was discovering a way to replace flesh artificially. The cellular structure just wouldn’t stay stable in light.Behind the scenes doings we’re going on and he found himself face-to-face with a very bad man that destroyed his lab, leaving him half burnt and scarred for life. after being found in the river, and being unidentifiable, some scientists decided to use their knowledge to remove his pain. In return he had super strength and super rage.To get his revenge he was able to get his old equipment together and he was able to fashion any face he wanted to. But like his experiment, The flash would begin to degrade once it was exposed to light. So he remained in the shadows. In the dark.

“Remarkable Darkman!”
Liam Neeson does it better in here than Arnold Vosloo. Never liked the second and third one with him in it. Liam Neeson has that evil role about him. The collector’s edition is a lot better than any DVDs or other Blu-ray versions. It has a lot of special features plus better sound and picture quality. And other actors and actresses Larry Drake, Frances McDormand, Colin Friels, Danny Hicks and Nicholas Worth too. My favorite lines are You-Been-A-Bad-Boy & Burn In Hell By Darkman. Highly recommend. 5 stars and two thumbs 👍🏻👍🏻 up!

So so Movie
This movie is okay. It has the vibe of Batman since Danny Elfman composed the soundtrack. I wouldn’t watch the movie again but my friend liked it. If you like dark themed thriller this will supply your need.

Quirky, wild, and very Sam Raimi
If you’ve seen any of the original Evil Dead movies, you’ll know what I mean when I say that this movie has Sam Raimi’s writing and directing style. It’s a wild, colorful ride of a story with fun – and intense – acting by Liam Neeson. It’s loaded with scenes that can be taken as dark humor (much like Evil Dead 2), and has the charm that calls to mind Tim Burton’s ‘Batman’ film from 1989. The story itself is reminiscent of phantom of the opera (with an obvious nod to the black-and-white monster film era) plus a dash of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. My daughter and I love it and have watched it many times.

Sam Raimi’s twisted super anti-hero gets a snazzy-looking hi-def transfer w/tons of great bonus goodies!
THE STORY: A brilliant scientist is horribly disfigured and left for dead by ruthless mobsters who mistakenly believe he possesses documents that could expose their underworld & political connections. When he revives the doctor’s fragmented mind demands retribution for the grievous injuries he’s suffered and the promising professional career & personal life which they forever stole from him. Justice has a new face. The twisted face of… DARKMAN!THOUGHTS: Part homage to the classic Universal Monster films of the 1930’s & 40’s, part hybrid of Phantom of the Opera & The Abominable Dr. Phibes, part comic book …and 110% Sam Raimi. DARKMAN wasn’t the hit it should have been when arrived in theaters back in 1990. Mainstream audiences then just weren’t quite ready for Sam’s one-of-a-kind, hyperkenetic visual storytelling style. It took almost a decade before they’d caught up and were finally ready to embrace him. DARKMAN paved the way for Sam to get access to SPIDER-MAN. There almost certainly would never have been a Sam Raimi SPIDER-MAN if DARKMAN hadn’t gotten him noticed by the bigwigs in Hollywood. Before then he was only barely known as a maverick director of low budget genre films like his Evil Dead trilogy. DARKMAN put him on the map, in a big way.THE BLU-RAY: Shout!Factory really knocks one out of the park for this deluxe Blu-ray edition of Sam Raimi’s 1990 cult classic DARKMAN. The transfer looks very nice; clean, sharp picture, strong color and crisp, nicely-balanced audio. It’s worth every penny to upgrade to this beautiful edition if you’ve got a Blu-ray player. Shout! has also gone to the extra mile for fans and delivered a truly impressive variety of newly created bonus material. Brand new interviews with the film’s primary acting cast: leading man Liam Neeson, ballsy damsel in distress Frances McDormand, and slimeball extraordinaire Larry Drake. Usually, actors don’t care to discuss past projects unless they’ve won lots of awards or were big box office successes. Darkman under-performed during its theatrical run, only becoming a hit after finding its audience on home video & cable. It’s great to see the three main actors not only willing to talk about a smaller film like this one but to do it with so much enthusiasm. Neeson is a big name now, but he shows his love of the film and shares warm memories of the cast & crew. The same goes for Drake & McDormand. Nice job getting these done and including them.But that’s not all folks! There are also new interviews from two of the actors who portrayed Durant’s henchmen, reminiscing about their roles and sharing their memories of the shoot. Then the interviews shift focus to the technical aspects of the production, with all-new interviews from practical make-up artist Tony Gardner, (who created the beautifully gruesome Darkman prosthetic make-ups), and achieving the look of the film with production designer Randy Ser & art director Philip Dagort. There’s also an interesting audio commentary track from DOP (director of photography) Bill Pope. Original vintage interviews, actor profiles and the theatrical trailer are included as well, plus galleries of rare artwork, production stills, etc. You can tell the crew at Shout!Factory are big fans of this film. Heck, even the reversible box art for this Blu-ray is a treat; you can chose from new artwork commissioned just for this Blu-ray release or flip it over to expose the original U.S. theatrical poster art. Nice. A big round of applause to everyone who put time into this release. 5 STARS

Great 90’s show.
Good early 90’s ani-hero movie. Liam Neeson looks so young in this one. It’s a good man gets hurt, reconnects with girl, goes after the bad guy, has to save the girl kind of movie, with cool makeup effects.

Great Sam Raimi cheese!
Weird, gory, dark, and action-packed. That’s why it’s still awesome! (But seriously, avoid the sequels!)

Awesome cult classic vintage superhero film
Awesome cult classic vintage superhero film. Liam Neeson was great in it. It’s like phantom of the opera but in superhero form. Campy and fun. If you like Sam Raimi’s directing style you will enjoy it. An excellent Danny Elfman Score as well. The steel book is the original poster art. It has some nice bonus behind the scenes features as well. Looks and sounds great!
