For many collectors, The Great Outdoors has been surprisingly difficult to obtain in high-quality editions over the years. Thankfully Kino Lorber have delivered a beautiful new restoration that faithfully preserves the film's original look while bringing a noticeable improvement in detail, colour and clarity.

While the extras are somewhat limited, the transfer itself makes this an easy recommendation for fans of John Candy, Dan Aykroyd and classic 1980s comedy.
