Prepare for a major nostalgia trip as the beloved comedy classics featuring iconic SNL comedians are set to grace retailers in March of next year. The timeless favorite, Tommy Boy, is proudly marking its 30th anniversary with this exciting release.
Get ready to bring home two of Chris Farley’s most cherished comedy films, alongside David Spade, now presented in a stunning ultra-high-definition format. The legendary pair made waves as they transitioned from the Saturday Night Live stage to the big screen with their hilarious escapades in Tommy Boy and Black Sheep. According to Blu-ray.com, Paramount Pictures is remastering Tommy Boy into a dazzling 4K Blu-ray, while Black Sheep will also receive a high-definition upgrade from Kino Lorber, even though both films originated from Paramount. Fans can mark their calendars for this exciting release on March 25, 2025.
As Tommy Boy celebrates its significant milestone of 30 years, the official description highlights its enduring charm: “Holy Smokes! One of the funniest films of the 1990s, TOMMY BOY, has been remastered for 4K Blu-ray. Celebrating three decades of side-splitting laughter, Chris Farley and David Spade star as two hapless traveling salesmen on a mission to save the Callahan family’s auto parts business, leading to a series of uproariously funny mishaps. This unforgettable comedy also features a stellar cast including Rob Lowe, Bo Derek, Dan Aykroyd, and Brian Dennehy.”
The details surrounding Kino Lorber’s release of Black Sheep are equally enticing, with a host of special features and impressive technical specifications. The description states, “Mike (Chris Farley), a bumbling gym teacher, has a knack for showing up at inconvenient moments and embarrassing his brother, Al (Tim Matheson), who is in the midst of a gubernatorial campaign. To salvage his brother’s political aspirations, Al enlists the help of his aide, Steve (David Spade), to take Mike to a secluded cabin where they can hide out during the campaign. However, the wilderness brings unexpected challenges that make them long for the chaotic political landscape of the city.”
