Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced they will be releasing JACKIE BROWN and PULP FICTION, on Blu-ray, on October 4th. MSRP will be a very reasonable $19.99.
According to the press release, each title was remastered under the supervision of Quentin Tarantino.
JACKIE BROWN
A sexy flight attendant (Grier) is caught in a plot between the police and an arms dealer, and everyone’s looking for the payoff. There are six unlikely players on the trail for a big score – a half million dollars in cash. But alliances are shaky when its unclear who is playing and who is getting played.
By the time JB came out, so many other new filmmakers had copied QT that folks were tired of his style. It is a shame because he did a nice job with this Elmore Leonard adaptation (it is based on the novel RUM PUNCH). It stars Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton and Robert DeNiro.

PULP FICTION
A pair of low-rent hit men, Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), are sent out to collect a stolen briefcase for their mob boss employer, Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). Having proven himself worthy, Wallace then entrusts Vincent to entertain his wife, Mia (Uma Thurman), while he is out of town. Meanwhile, Wallace has paid off aging boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) to throw his next fight. The lives of these wildly entertaining characters intertwine with unexpected and violent consequences.
PF brought QT to the masses and snagged seven Oscar nominations and took home the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. It features John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Maria de Medeiros, Ving Rhames, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, Christopher Walken and Bruce Willis.
