Viva Espana! Spain release Pink Cadillac and Bronco Billy on Blu-Ray
I had a message at the weekend which really made my day, my good fried Ron Waite dropped me a message informing me that both Pink Cadillac (1989) and Bronco Billy (1980) were finally receiving European Blu-Ray releases from Spain on March 4th, 2026.
Whilst this is not the first-time release for Bronco Billy on Blu-ray (it is also still available to buy Region free, on the Warner Archive label). I can’t tell you how close I have come to buying this one – but at approx. £30.00 – for the Warner Archive disc – I just decided I wasn’t going t pay that – it’s far too expensive. I’m glad of course I waited now. These 2 Eastwood movies finally complete the entire Eastwood collection on the Bu-ray format.
Hey, I know Pink Cadillac isn’t a classic, but I did have a nasty feeling we was never going to see this movie appear on the format. The film even failed to get a cinema release in the UK – that said, I always thought the film had its moments, it showed that Clint could provide some comic moments that were genuinely funny and it also marked the last film that Geofrey Lewis would appear with Clint. It’s just a shame is let down by a terrible script, comic book bad guys ad a story that just didn’t grab anybody.
Bronco Billy is a different story altogether, I actually think it’s one of Clint’s most enduring movies, I still can’t believe the treatment Warner Bros afforded this release on Blu-ray here in the UK.
Anyway, we have Spain to thank again for these 2 releases. They made our day last year with Blu-ray releases of Paint Your Wagon and the illusive White Hunter, Black Heart – it appears that Spain have simply looked at all of the missing Eastwood titles that the fans wanted – so good on them for having a bit of foresight.
According to the box art it appears that both trailers have also been included on these releases.
These films are available via Amazon at approx. GBP13.88 each.
