Product Description DVD Special Features: Commentary from director Joe Dante and visual effects supervisor Dennis Muren Original theatrical trailer Screen Ratio: Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 desertcart.co.uk Review Innerspace is assured a place in the Hollywood history books as the movie which brought Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan together as one of cinema's most famous couples. The film itself belongs among a series of feelgood fantasies presented by Steven Spielberg in the 1980s, including Back to the Future (1984) and from the same director, Joe Dante, Gremlins (1983). Innerspace offers Dante's usual mixture of comedy, exciting action and fantasy, the plot being a variation on Fantastic Voyage (1966). Test pilot Quaid is miniaturised and as a result of a bungled attempt to steal the new experimental technology, accidentally injected into the body of a deeply stressed and insecure Martin Short. Quaid is charismatic and commanding, Ryan gives an early demonstration of her patent romantic comedy persona, but it's Short's picture as he delivers a perfectly nuanced performance pitched between slapstick and paranoia. The Oscar-winning special effects enhance rather than dominate the story, which, though it gets a bit too silly in places, is generally inventive and sufficiently action packed to sustain the almost two-hour running time. Jerry Goldsmith's muscular score is a major asset, while in-joke spotters will have fun picking out everyone from Chuck Jones to William Schallert (the doctor in The Incredible Shrinking Man (1! 957)). On the DVD: Innerspace on disc has a group commentary with director Joe Dante, producer Michael Finnell, visual effects supervisor Dennis Muren and actor Kevin McCarthy. This is engaging if far from riveting. The original trailer is anamorphically enhanced and there are two perfunctory pages listing cast, crew and the film's Oscar for special effects. The original Dolby Spectral soundtrack has been remixed into Dolby Digital 5.1 and is bold, clear and powerful. The picture is presented at 1.78:1 and is a virtually flawless transfer: colours are rich, detail levels are high and the only trace of grain is in a few particularly high contrast shots.--Gary S.

Give yourself a good, hard, slap in the face
Joe Dante's 1987 sci-fi comedy, Innerspace, is the story of a shrunken astronaut who gets injected into the backside of a hypochondriac assistant manager of Safeway. Now that synopsis may not sound promising, but trust me: it's a great film. Dennis Quaid is Tuck Pendleton (fantastic name), a gobby, arrogant, alcoholic astronaut. At the start of the film, he and his spacecraft are to be miniaturized by the US government, and injected into a rabbit. I'm not sure why; something to do with the Cold War, and Reds under the Bed, or something. Things don't go to plan for Tuck; shortly after he's been miniaturized and sucked up into a syringe, terrorists break into the science laboratory and steal the microchip needed to restore him to full size. The plan to shove him up a rabbit's hole has to be aborted. Lead scientist Ozzy manages to escape from the lab with the syringe, and runs to the nearby shopping mall, where before getting shot dead by a man with a robot arm he inject Tucks into the bottom of Jack Putter (Martin Short), the hypochondriac assistant manager of Safeway. The plot thereafter: Jack has to collect the missing microchip, and get Tuck back to the lab to be un-miniaturized within 48 hours or he will die. Oh, and he has to get Tuck back together with Lydia (played by Meg Ryan, back in the days before she looked like one of the cat people. She's certainly putting out Tuck's fires with gasoline in this film. No? It's a David Bowie reference; look it up). Full of laughs, energy, excitement, ridiculous Cold War era villains, that creepy looking guy off The 'Burbs, and great music, Innerspace is brilliant entertainment. A couple of quibbles: 1) Why did they ask Rod Stewart to record a horrible 80s version of Twistin the Night Away? What was wrong with the original? 2) The poster for the theatrical release was great, and was used as the cover art for the original VHS video. Quite why they replaced it with the ghastly nonsense defacing the DVD box is beyond me.

Film incontournable des années 90 connu chez nous sous le titre : "L'aventure intérieure". Ce titre est difficilement trouvable aujourd'hui ou seulement dans des coffrets accompagnés de films que l'ont a déjà. Du coup l'acquérir dans son packaging anglais était la meilleure solution pour moi. Bon moment cinéma en famille, aventure drôle et rocambolesque.

Joe Dante credo sia uno dei registi più sottovalutati della storia, e spesso ricordato più per Gremlins che per altro. "Salto Nel buio" è da sempre uno dei miei preferiti del maestro, e da ragazzino avrò come minimo bruciato il nastro della VHS per le volte che l'ho visto. Averlo riscoperto, finalmente, in Dvd, è stata veramente una piacevole sorpresa. Forse anche uno dei suoi flop più grandi al botteghino, un film che meritava molto di più ma che già oramai si pensava a robetta commerciale discutibile invece di grandiosi film come questo. Comunque, felice di averlo recuperato e trovato la lingua Italiana nella versione "Regno Unito", perché il DVD Italiano è quasi introvabile o si trova a prezzi abbastanza eccessivi (anche se, ammetto, che ne vale). Recuperate questi grandiosi film, smettetela di vedere solo film in streaming o digitale, e recuperate i supporti fisici dei film di questi grandi maestri.
