They Went From Zeroes To Heroes In One Fantastic Weekend.
If you can’t get a date… make one! After proving himself the king of heartfelt teen flicks with Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, writer-director John Hughes infused the genre with a hefty dose of wacked-out sci-fi comedy in Weird Science, a film where every teenage boy’s wildest fantasies come to life.
Perennially picked-on high school nerds Gary (Anthony Michael Hall, Sixteen Candles) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) are sick of their status at the bottom of the social food chain. Using Wyatt’s computer, the two hatch a plan to create their dream woman - and following a massive power surge, that woman unexpectedly appears in the form of Lisa (Kelly LeBrock). Gorgeous, intelligent, and blessed with limitless magic powers, Lisa makes the boys’ dreams come true… but what about Wyatt’s gun-toting psycho older brother Chet (Bill Paxton), and the two bullies (Robert Downey Jr and Vamp’s Robert Rusler) determined to put them back in their place?
Inspired by Ec Comics and boosted by a killer soundtrack (including the classic title theme by Oingo Boingo), Weird Science has never looked better than in this new 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray edition, including an extended version of the film and hours of bonus content.

Guilty fun
I've always loved this stupid film. It's very immature but so quotable. It's great that Arrow have lavished so much on this edition, it's got everything you could want, a slightly longer version if you want, or you can see the hilarious TV edits.

Excellent set
Really great 4k transfer from the director who brought us Home Alone, Planes Trains & Automobiles. Very good value too. A great purchase.

Weird Science 4K limited Edition
Some films can be watched year in year out. Weird Science is one of my top 10 watchable movies of all time. It is a master piece of comedy and unique concept. Every time I watch I laugh and enjoy the movie and absorb more and more of the concept/movie. A brilliant movie and more enjoyable in 4k - but the opening scene on extended edition I do not believe is in 4k but the remainder is.
