Cinema Retro has received the following press release from Paramount Home Entertainment:
Relive
all the incredible drama, passion and music of the hugely influential hit URBAN
COWBOY, arriving on Blu-ray for the first time ever June 2, 2020 from Paramount
Home Entertainment.
Originally
released on June 6, 1980, URBAN COWBOY celebrates its 40th anniversary this
year. Starring John Travolta and Debra
Winger, the movie chronicles the rocky love story of Bud and Sissy, set against
the backdrop of Houston’s famous honky-tonk bar, Gilley’s. Based on a 1979 Esquire Magazine story and
brought to the big screen by writer/director James Bridges, URBAN COWBOY kicked off a Western fashion and country music craze. The hit soundtrack spawned multiple Top 10
hits, including “Looking for Love†by Johnny Lee, “Stand by Me†by Mickey
Gilley, and “Look What You’ve Done to Me†by Boz Skaggs, and the album was
ultimately certified triple platinum by the RIAA.
The
URBAN COWBOY Blu-ray features new bonus content, including a retrospective piece
called “Good Times with Gilley: Looking Back at Urban Cowboy†featuring a new
interview with Mickey Gilley, and multiple deleted scenes. The Blu-ray also includes outtakes and
rehearsal footage previously released on DVD, as well as access to a digital
copy of the film.
