RT on DVD: Dark Knight DVD Details and Iron Man Deleted Scene!
6. David Hasselhoff's Nick Fury Released "By Popular Demand"
We should have led off this week's column with the following HUGE news, but oh well. Best Buy has announced that this week they will release the 1998 superhero movie Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. -- yes, the very same made-for-TV movie that starred none other than David Hasselhoff as Marvel's hard boiled, cigar-chomping Army super-spy. That's right, The Hoff himself. As Nick Fury. Take a moment to let that sink in.
More shocking than the news itself is Best Buy's explanation for releasing the film for the first time ever on DVD, a decade after it first aired: it was "due to popular demand," they claim. Guess ten years of daily visits to his local Best Buy really paid off for the Hoff!
The news does dig up a few interesting facts: Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. was produced by Stan Lee and Avi Arad and written by future comics-to-film fixture David S. Goyer, right between his scripting duties for Dark City and Blade, and many years before his Batman Begins and The Dark Knight turned the idea of comic book movies as we knew them inside out.
Head to Best Buy for the exclusive DVD release of Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. ($22.98).

on Sep 29 2008 06:48 PM I'm confused. So far, I've heard two different stories on what the special features are for The Dark Knight...... (Reply to this) |
on Sep 29 2008 07:12 PM you know those documentaries on the dark knight blu-ray already aired on the history channel. And by the way warheart the special features on the dark knight are what rottentomatoes says it is. from what ive seen that seems to be what is going to be on it. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 29 2008 07:14 PM why is no one thanking the heavens for the dvd release of nick fury? the hoff leather = good times for everyone. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 29 2008 07:22 PM LOL, Nick Fury was so bad! Man, I really hope they do another Nick Fury movie with JACKSON! Nick Fury is such a cool character, The Hoff messed him up so bad. Looking forward to Iron Man and Sarah Marshall tomorrow. Looking forward to TDK and HB II on Blu Ray. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 29 2008 07:45 PM Man, already talks of an extended Max Payne cut. I think if the director is already talking about an unrated extended cut before the movie even comes out, then that must mean the studio made him cut more then he wanted. Hope Max Payne is good, but my hopes aren't too high plus I will be seeing W. the day Payne comes out. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 29 2008 07:53 PM The studio made him release a PG-13 film, the MPAA made him do the cuts. The cut scene from Iron Man probably costs as much as a full decent TRUE independant film. . . (Reply to this) |

on Sep 29 2008 08:51 PM Also this is pretty random, but who else saw Matt Hatch on AT THE MOVIES, way to go Matt! (Reply to this) |
on Sep 29 2008 10:12 PM In reply to this comment (#2054410) I know Joker, I saw him Matt as weel on the movie review show & his opinion on the new Spike Lee film was by far the best. That Ben Lyons- he's sooo awful but Matt made the experience worth it. Still, I'm hoping for a Jen Yamato appearance! And I won't be satisfied till that happens "At the Movies" producers!!

on Sep 30 2008 06:11 AM cant wait to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall again...d3mn that movie was hilarious. only way it could be better is if bell got n3ked instead of segal. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 30 2008 07:22 AM How is this scene exclusive if I already saw it on Aint It Cool News like a month ago? (Reply to this) |

on Sep 30 2008 09:15 AM Well from the way it looks, the 2-Disc version of TDK has got nothing at all. The 6 scenes in IMAX don't constitute as special features since they're in the movie. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 30 2008 09:43 AM Doomius, if you mean the Iron Man scene, you may have seen it earlier when Access Hollywood ran it months ago. That was technically a "TV exclusive," though those rascals put it on their site as well. Since then it appears to have been taken down, so nobody else should have it now. At least not officially. Also, I believe that party scene was a different cut; ours begins earlier, from what I remember. Anyhow, enjoy it. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 30 2008 09:45 AM Warheart, the Dark Knight details in this column are straight from Warner Bros.' mouth. There were tons of earlier speculative articles floating around the web, some even with product photos that I confirmed with the studio were not official or final. This is what we know now. That said, I can't wait for December! (Reply to this) |
on Sep 30 2008 10:10 AM Forgetting Sarah Marshall should be waiting for me when I get home. I love Netflix! (Reply to this) |
on Sep 30 2008 11:40 AM What's this "Dark Knight" movie? Has anyone seen it? Is it any good? Does it have swords and dragons? That'd be cool... (Reply to this) |

on Sep 30 2008 03:02 PM I still don't get why everyone liked Sarah Marshall. I thought it was painful to watch at best, and was not funny at all. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 30 2008 04:39 PM In reply to this comment (#2054986) I think Dark Knight is a documentary about Barack Obama. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 30 2008 06:47 PM I am gonna pre-order The Dark Knight. Like big time! I did it the last time when Batman Begins came out on dvd. I will buy Iron Man when I get home but will rent Forgetting Sarah Marshall. That movie was funny as hell. (Reply to this) |
