"A commercial flop and critically maligned, Mac and Me is infamous as a bizarre, low budget E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial ripoff loaded with egregious McDonalds and Coca-Cola product placement. Yet it has survived in pop culture as a piece of "so bad it's good" nostalgia, as well as the punchline to Rudd's two-decade-long running gag where he plays the same clip from the movie every time he appears on one of Conan O'Brien's shows - even his podcast."
"Vinegar Syndrome has restored the film from a fresh scan of a 35mm original negative and packed the 2-disc Blu-ray set with features: new commentary tracks from co-writer/director Stewart Raffill and Cinematic Void's Jim Branscome, as well as film historians Wayne Byrne and Paul Farren; new interviews with Raffill, alien designer/puppeteer Christopher Swift, and actress Christine Ebersole; a new featurette with cinematographer Nick McLean and camera operator Michael D. O'Shea; and more. Check out the trailer for the re-release below."
Mac and Me has been upgraded to 4K Ultra HD and is available for purchase on Amazon. The film was a commercial flop and is infamous for heavy McDonalds and Coca-Cola product placement and its resemblance to E.T. The movie survived as cult nostalgia and as the recurring punchline in Paul Rudd's long-running joke on Conan O'Brien. Vinegar Syndrome restored the film from a fresh scan of a 35mm original negative. The 2-disc Blu-ray includes new commentary tracks, interviews with cast and crew, a featurette with cinematography personnel, and additional special features.
