Great movie, mediocre transfer. This was shot on 35mm film so would love to see a 4k remastering. Maybe for next Christmas?
Funniest scene in the movie. It's responsible for the movie's R rating.
Car Rental Agent: Welcome to Marathon, may I help you?
Neal: Yes.
Car Rental Agent: How may I help you?
Neal: You can start by wiping that farking dumb-ass smile off your rosy farking cheeks! Then you can give me a farking automobile! A farking Datsun, a farking Toyota, a farking Mustang, a farking Buick! Four farking wheels and a seat!
Car Rental Agent: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.
Neal: And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of farking nowhere with farking keys to a farking car that isn't farking there. And I really didn't care to farking walk down a farking highway and across a farking runway to get back here to have you smile in my farking face. I want a farking car... right... farking... now.
Car Rental Agent: May I see your rental agreement?
Neal: I threw it away.
Car Rental Agent: Oh, boy.
Neal: Oh, boy, what?
Car Rental Agent: You're farked.

What a great classic!
Trivia from IMDb:
John Candy and Steve Martin's favorite film of their own.
The exterior of their aircraft in flight is a re-use of the 707 flying through the storm from the movie Airplane! (1980), also released by Paramount Pictures.
John Hughes, in an interview on the "Those Aren't Pillows" DVD, said he was inspired to write the film's story after an actual flight he was on from New York to Chicago. The flight was diverted to Wichita, Kansas, taking him five days to get home.
Quotes:
State Trooper: What the hell are you driving here?
Del: We had a small fire last night, but we caught it in the nick of time.
State Trooper: Do you have any idea how fast you were going?
Del: Funny enough, I was just talking to my friend about that. Our speedometer has melted and as a result it's very hard to see with any degree of accuracy exactly how fast we were going.
Ok, what makes this special? (besides being an awesome movie)
Well, if you purchase it through Best Buy you shall also receive an offer of 30 free days of Showtime! Then, some folks could catchup on Billions or possibly watch Dexter: New 🩸 Blood.

Most retailers say nothing more specific than its limited edition in a steelbook.
If correct, this article does say it has an hour of bonus content:
