I'm more than happy with just the first film on Blu. A slipcased Poundland special it was.

I think i'm going to pick up E.T. actually. Not seen it for years and it's a definite Easter kind of watch.
I've only ever watched the first 2 of them myself. As for E.T. it's a great film, I have an awful looking steelbook edition

I've seen the steelbook art since you mentioned it.

If you're referring to The Scorpion King, then I completely agree with you that it is rubbish.

I've seen E.T. multiple times and have the Italian 4K Ultra HD release (as it was available quite cheaply from Amazon Italy) and was surprised at how good it looks and sounds in 4K with HDR and DTS X.

I took Dems post to mean Tomb of the Dragon Emperor which is the third film in the central series, The Scorpion King being a spin-off. Both are however rubbish.

I have The Scorpion King in a DVD box set with the first two Mummy films, so thought that's what the reference was.

I've never seen Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and am in no rush to rectify that situation.

Yes, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

Didn't mind The Scorpion King to be honest.
