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, but this version comes in a Slipbox that houses all of the non-disc swag that Arrow's "regular" Limited Edition of both their 2160 and 1080 versions do.

Supplements found on the disc and in the package are detailed in our True Romance 4K Blu-ray review. 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 may want to consider Arrow's "standalone" True Romance 4K release. Those wanting all that other bonus material Arrow has packaged with some of its other releases of this film should stick with this release, which offers both 1080 and 2160 discs (unusual for Arrow), along with all of the copious material Arrow has packaged with its "regular" Limited Edition releases of the title. One way or the other, True Romance comes Highly recommended.
