[ NOTES ]

Pale Rider (1985) is available on 4K UHD, 4K UHD Steelbook, Blu-ray, and DVD. While it's not one of Eastwood's best directorial efforts, Pale Rider is still an enjoyable Western and worth a watch. The new transfer looks great, and so does young Sydney Penny, who I had a crush on when she played Gidget's niece Danielle in The New Gidget (1986–1988) (more episodes, full series).
