This is good news, loved this film so much as a lad, very surprised though, would never have thought this would be getting a 4k disc.

Dead presidents 4K criterion release!!
 
I just noticed this has been out as a digipack for a while, but still not available in UHD streaming.
Why do so so many DTS tracks not get upgraded to DTS:X?
 
I finally bought it last week, Criterion titles were 50%. off.
There's a lot of bonus-material, a lot more than the old blu-ray I had.

I wish Criterion didn't use those staggered stacks for two discs, I've seen too many of those disc hubs that were broken.

You only missed part I.

This film has some bittersweet nostalgia for me, because I was there in L.A. in the period the film is about. The Rodney King rioting went down, which is featured in the film & sort an underlying theme.
