Paramount Home Media Distribution has announced that it will release on Blu-ray Walter Hill's 48 Hrs. (1982) and Another 48 Hrs. (1990). The two releases will be available for purchase on July 6, with new packaging and bonus features. In 48 Hours, Nick Nolte is unforgettable as Jack Cates, a rough-edged Inspector on the hunt for two vicious cop-killers. Unlikely ride-along con Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy), is given 48-hour leave from prison to help Cates on the case. The laughs fly almost as much as the punches, as both men pursue two very different goals in a short amount of time. Six years later, two stars and director Walter Hill returned for the hit sequel, Another 48 Hours.
