Australian label Via Vision Entertainment has informed us that it will add six new titles to its Blu-ray catalog: In the Line of Fire, In the Name of the Father, Top Secret: Special Edition, The Big Chill, Police Squad: The Complete Series, and Nightflyers - Season One.
Top Secret!: Special Edition
Synopsis: If you were sitting around wondering if the guys who brought you Flying High! and The Naked Gun are crazy, the answer is "Yes." And Top Secret! proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt! "Top Secret!" pits American rock star Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer) against the dreaded East German High Command. It's a race against time as Nick teams up with Hillary Flammond (Lucy Gutteridge) to find her father before he can create the ultimate super weapon - the Polaris Mine. Along the way, "Top Secret!" manages to do for war epics and Elvis films what "Flying High!" did to disaster movies.
Special Features:
Police Squad! The Complete Series
Synopsis: There are 8 million stories in the Naked City. Here are six. Join Detective Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) and Capt. Ed Hocken (Alan North) as they solve the toughest cases - full of all the sight-gags, puns, and nonsequiturs that made the series famous!

Be an eye-witness to all the comedic action for the first time in stunning High Definition.

Special Features and Technical Specs::
In the Name of the Father
Synopsis: A gripping true story of justice, In the Name of the Father tells the true saga of Gerry Conlon. A petty thief in strife-torn '70s Belfast, Gerry's main interests are getting drunk and partying, much to the dismay of his quiet, frail father Giuseppe (Pete Postlethwaite). When Gerry angers the IRA, his father sends him to England, where his antics land him in the wrong place at the wrong time. Innocent, but forced to confess to a savage terrorist bombing, he is sentenced to life imprisonment as one of the "Guildford Four." Academy Award® winner Daniel Day-Lewis gives an impassioned performance in this riveting drama that mirrors one man's 15-year struggle and ultimate triumph over a terrible injustice.
Special Features:
In the Line of Fire: Special Edition
Synopsis: A gripping, gut-wrenching thriller that delivers suspense in almost unbearable doses, In the Line of Fire showcases Clint Eastwood at his finest. In a performance that won universal acclaim, Eastwood stars as Frank Horrigan, a veteran Secret Service agent haunted by his failure to protect John F. Kennedy from assassination. Thirty years later, he gets a chance to redeem himself when a brilliant psychopath threatens to kill the current president and take Horrigan with him. Taunting him by phone and tantalising him with clues, the assassin (John Malkovich) lures Horrigan into an electrifying battle of wits and will that only one man can survive.
Co-starring Rene Russo as Horrigan's risk-taking Field Chief, In the Line of Fire is a high-wire balancing act of searing suspense, explosive action and surprising romance. Quite simply "one of the finest thrillers you'll ever see."
Special Features:
Nightflyers: The Complete Series
Synopsis: From the mind of George R.R. Martin, comes the psychological thriller Nightflyers. On the eve of Earth's destruction, a crew of explorers depart on the most advanced ship in the galaxy, The Nightflyer, to intercept an alien spacecraft that might hold the key to their survival. As the crew nears their destination, they discover the ship's artificial intelligence and never-seen captain may be steering them into deadly and unspeakable horrors deep in the outer reaches of space.
