Lionsgate has been on something of a SteelBook tear lately, partnering with Wal-Mart for a series of exclusive releases, though their docket continues to be as mystifying as ever in terms of what and how they choose to offer in this packaging format. March saw the release of American Psycho 4K, Dredd 4K + 3D, and Hell or High Water 4K, all of which were somewhat hilariously previously available as exclusives from Best Buy. April sees Lionsgate releasing this film, Rambo: Last Blood 4K, and RED: 2-Film Collection 4K, with all three of the SteelBooks offering re-releases in 4K UHD (including one with a previous release on SteelBook, just to make things especially confounding). Lionsgate's fourth April SteelBook, Cutthroat Island 4K , offers the UHD debut of that particular film.

On disc supplements are detailed in the above linked review. This handsomely designed SteelBook is obviously meant to be paired with Lionsgate's day and date SteelBook release of Rambo: Last Blood 4K , with both releases featuring similarly designed mylar O rings and actual SteelBooks. This one features a striking illustration of Stallone against a stark red forested background on the front panel, with the forest continuing on to the back panel. The inside panels aren't much, frankly, and can be seen in the seventh photo I've uploaded to accompany this review. Additionally, a digital copy is included.
Rambo fans should be well pleased with the look of the two related SteelBooks Lionsgate is releasing. For completists and/or those who didn't pick up the first 4K UHD release, Recommended.
