Arrow may be sparking a love affair of its own for fans of True Romance with a veritable glut of different packaging and format options that they're offering. This particular release is a Steelbook, as the packaging pictures I've uploaded to accompany this listing show, though there are some things to be aware of. This actually offers both a 1080 and 2160 disc, which has not been Arrow's standard operating procedure with their 4K UHD releases of previously released material, and this version is a "standalone" Steelbook which has its own insert booklet, but which does not contain all the non-disc swag that Arrow's True Romance 4K (which includes this Steelbook) does.

Audio quality is assessed in our True Romance 4K Blu-ray review.
Supplements found on the disc are detailed in our True Romance 4K Blu-ray review. This version does not include the perfect bound collectors' book or other non-disc swag, but has its own less opulent insert booklet. The Steelbook offers two winning portraits of Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater set against a kind of cool, California- esque array of pinks, purples and slightly orange tinged yellows.
Those wanting "just" a Steelbook will be pleased with this handsome release, but those wanting all that other bonus material Arrow has packaged with some of its other releases of this film may point Steelbook collectors in the direction of True Romance 4K, which includes this same Steelbook, along with all of the other copious material Arrow has included with its other releases of the title. One way or the other, True Romance comes Highly recommended.
