Airwolf Complete Season 4 (1987) Region 2 IMPORT DVD 2010


Region 2 IMPORT Box Front


Airwolf Season 4
As of yet there had still been NO UK Release.. so for people in the UK, this WAS their only option for a "Region 2" Release. (as of up till  MAY 2014) The R2 set is NOW available in UK)
You can watch these in English with no pesky subtitles by following these simple steps.. With this release here you have to click on the Netherlands, let the disc load to the main menu and then click on the word that says ondertiteling  that will turn off the subtitles so the disc will now play in English. but you will have to do this on every disc.
As we had been waiting since 2010 for a UK Release, you could well assume it was NOT coming. I bought mine in APRIL 2014  (because i got sick of waiting)  It came with NO extras...

The USA Region 1 Release is Here






Info:

People are always asking about "how to get season 4" and this is why the blog post was published (originally incomplete) to save people being ripped off by the eBay snipers who are trying to convince the fans that Airwolf season 4 is RARE!!!   no its not rare.. Its not more expensive than the other 3 seasons neither...

Packaging:

The Box "Type" for this  ASIN  release is a plastic box with the 6 dvd's in
If you wanted the S1,2,3 Matching Box Type (more blue than purple)
You would need to buy the Region 1 USA NTSC release (WE THINK)
Until someone gives us information to the contrary, to our knowledge the Blue Cover is the USA R1 Release

Six Disks In An Awful Box
The back of the box is also foreign language.

Apparently Season 4 was only made so that the entire "Series" spanned 80 Episodes, This way the show could get syndicated on Cable and Satellite TV.  Seams a poor excuse to create 24 episodes with None of the original cast OR the actual flying helicopter. (besides J.M.V shown a few times in the first episode and the original moch up of the helicopter with the on-board computers) The rest of the show all relied on a new cast and stock footage for the aerial fights.
