Australian label has confirmed that it is finalizing a new 4K restoration of Richard Franklin's ozploitation classic Road Games (1981), starring Stacy Keach, Jamie Lee Curtis, Marion Edward, Grant Page, and Thaddeus Smith. The 4K restoration will be released on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray in February 2027.
Included below is a promotional video detailing the work required to restore Road Games in 4K.
Description: In 1981, after the success of Patrick, writer Everett De Roche (Razorback) and director Richard Franklin (Psycho II) reunited to create their own take on Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, through the windscreen of a truck instead.
American heavyweights Stacy Keach (Fat City) and Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) joined stuntman-turned-actor Grant Page (Stunt Rock) to form a trio of stars who barrel across the Nullarbor Plain with death and destruction in hot pursuit.
In tow were some of Australia's best creatives including composer Brian May (Mad Max), cinematographer Vincent Monton (Long Weekend), editor Edward McQueen-Mason (Patrick), and art director Jon Dowding (Mad Max).
