DVD Reviews of Hot Moves
DVD Review: DVD is in MONO!
Summary: 2 Stars
Hot Moves was released in Dolby Stereo, back when not every movie got a stereo soundtrack (The Terminator, released a few months before this, was in mono because the budget didn't allow for both a stereo mix and the visual effects they wanted.) I have the old Vestron VHS tape which preserves the great stereo mix of this movie with the cheesy 80s music spread across the front and rear channels; I even transferred it to DVD a while back when I thought there was no hope of it getting a legitimate release. It had been on my top 10 most-wanted DVD list for quite some time.
Well, we finally get a DVD release with a 16x9 transfer, but the sound is in MONO! It's 2-channel Dolby Digital, but all the sound stays in the center channel. What a huge disappointment. Picture quality isn't gorgeous either, but probably close to how the original prints looked and I'll take that over something that's been cleaned up too much. There's NO excuse for the mono sound however when the VHS was in stereo (it was never released on laserdisc so these are the highest-quality releases we're probably ever going to get.)
Haven't listened to the commentary yet but hopefully that will make the purchase price a little more worth it. I checked out the extras (which ironically sound like they were recorded with a camcorder's stereo microphone) and you get to see what star Adam Silbar looks like now- he's got gray hair. No recent footage of Jill Schoelen but I'm afraid to know what she looks like now.
Hot Moves is one of the best of the 80s sex comedies and belongs in everyone's collection, but I'll still be watching my VHS tape unless someone out there is dedicated enough to give this yet another DVD release with the proper sound.
