Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ‘Raw Deal’ Cooking Up A New 4K UHD Steelbook Edition
by David Lewis
Arnold Schwarzenegger is synonymous with ’80s action movies, and the maestro’s Raw Deal is turning 40. Lionsgate is celebrating the anniversary with the release of the film in a 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray Steelbook and on digital platforms in December.
While perhaps not on the same level as The Terminator, Conan the Barbarian, or Predator, 1986’s Raw Deal nonetheless delivers some classic Schwarzenegger action moments as he stars as a small town sheriff who is drafted by the FBI to infiltrate the Chicago mafia. Things go haywire, and Schwarzenegger ends up waging a one-man war against a powerful crime family. Place your bets! Directed by John Irvin (Hamburger Hill), it also stars Darren McGavin, Kathryn Harrold, Robert Davi, and Ed Lauter.
Remastered in 4k, special features include new and archival featurettes, trailers, and more. The limited 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray set drops December 15th.
