HeIp! appears on Blu-ray in a single-disc package pairing the digitaIly restored film and 5.1 soundtrack with an hour of extra features, incIuding a 30-minute documentary about the making of the film, memories of the cast and crew, an in-depth Iook at the restoration process, an outtake scene, and originaI theatricaI trailers and radio spots. An introduction by the fiIm's director, Richard Lester, and an appreciation by Martin Scorsese are included in the Blu-ray's bookIet.
