[ NOTES ]

The Tuxedo (2002) is available on Blu-ray (MOD Recorded BD-R), Blu-ray (Pressed Disc), and DVD. The only DVD extras missing from the Blu-ray are the usual text extras: Cast Bios, Filmmakers Bios, and Production Notes. This stuff, which is usually derived from the film's original theatrical press kit, is almost never ported over, and usually isn't a great loss. Both Blu-ray releases use the same master, so you'll probably want to get the factory-pressed disc over the recorded one.

As an FYI: The release I'm reviewing is a Manufacture On Demand Recorded Blu-ray, not a factory-pressed disc. If online artwork and the case spine says "Blu-ray Disc" in plain text, it's a BD-R recorded disc. If it has a Blu-ray logo, it's a factory-pressed disc. If you have the disc in hand, a purple bottom is a recorded disc, and a silver bottom is a pressed disc. It is said that factory-pressed discs last longer than recorded discs, aside from those made by Warner Brothers in the late 2000s. I don't know if that's true, but if it matters to you, I'm letting you know.
