PLOT SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

When a top secret agent (GEORGE LAZENBY) is murdered, his estranged son Lance Stargrove (JOHN STAMOS) teams up with his dad\u2019s seductive associate, Danja Deering (VANITY) to face his father\u2019s killer… the fiendish mastermind Velvet Von Ragnar (GENE SIMMONS). The hermaphobic heel is hell-bent on a scheme to poison the city\u2019s water supply \u2013 and it\u2019s up to Stargrove to crush Velvet once and for all!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The features are a bit light, but we do get an Audio Commentary<\/u><\/strong> with Pop Culture Historian Russell Dyball, a TV Spot<\/u><\/strong> and a VHS Version<\/u><\/strong> where you can watch the film like it\u2019s the 1980s! Inside is also a DVD Copy<\/u><\/strong>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Never Too Young to Die<\/em><\/strong> debuts on Blu-ray (and I believe DVD) through Shout Factory presented in 1080p high-definition and in 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio. As one probably suspects, this isn\u2019t the most glorious looking HD transfer even by mid-80s standard but still detail was adequate and colors generally bright and although there were some film damage (minor scratches and dust marks), I highly doubt it has ever looked better.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The disc includes a quasi-robust DTS-HD Master Audio Stereo track which provides some okay depth when the (inane) action picks up as well as giving off crisp and clean dialogue levels. As with the video, you\u2019re not going to get some superior transfer or one that received the full treatment, yet for fans, the lossless track still sounds pretty good.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, Never Too Young to Die<\/em><\/strong> has received a cult following over the past 30 years with my first understanding only a year or two back when it was featured on Red Letter Media\u2019s \u201cBest of the Worst\u201d series. Seeing it in its entirety for myself, it certainly has earned the bad its good moniker. As for Shout Factory\u2019s Blu-ray, it offers okay video\/audio transfers but falls short in the features department, but at least has a commentary and nifty VHS version for any old schoolers out there.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
