Shout! Factory will release UHF, "Weird Al" Yankovic's cult-classic comedy, to Blu-ray this November in celebration of the film's just-passed 25th anniversary.
UHF, which debuted in cinemas on July 21, 1989, was not a financial success during its theatrical run, but turned into a home-video smash. The film was an absurd send-up of all things '80s, including early MTV, Indiana Jones and Rambo.
Announced at the (still-ongoing) Shout! Factory panel at Comic Con International: San Diego, the UHF Blu-ray will be joined by a box set of additional material titled The Compleate Al.
You can see the complete and official announcement below. So far, Shout! Factory isn't totally sure what new special features may be added or how much of the most recent, feature-rich DVD set will be carried over to the new printing.
Weird Al Yankovic and Jay Levey bring you the cult classic that turns bad television into fantastic cinema! When consummate daydreamer George Newman becomes the manager of Channel 62, a station thats losing money as quickly as its losing viewers, he begins to program the station with off-the-wall shows like Stanley Spadowskis Clubhouse, Wheel of Fish and Rauls Wild Kingdom. But can Channel 62s new popularity save it from cancellation? To find out, dont touch that dial!
Starring Weird Al Yankovic, Michael Richards (Seinfeld), Victoria Jackson (Saturday Night Live), Fran Drescher (The Nanny), Gedde Watanabe (Sixteen Candles) and many, many more!
THE COMPLEAT AL is the amazing, hilarious, and almost-true life story of Weird Al Yankovic, the Grammy award-winning master of musical parody and rock and roll comedy. THE COMPLEAT AL takes you behind the scenes, beginning with his early and somewhat formative childhood years; his high school and college days, up through his present-day bout with super-stardom. This concocted chronicle also contains some of the funniest moments from AL-TV, footage from his recent trip to Japan, and reveals for the first time the incredible story behind Eat It.

Sequel would be cool but I sincerely doubt it.

I would LOVE it if he made a sequel! We should all email bomb Weird Al, lol

Honestly since MGM owns the rights to the film I don't think another DVD is going to come out (although I'd buy it if it did) - I mean, as a Beatles fan I try not to complain that Yellow Submarine was only released in matted letterbox format by MGM, and it probably won't get any better than that - I'm just happy they released it!
As for the current DVD, it is chock full of goodies and at least Al had a big part in it's release and creation

For today's generation, UHF's sequel should be called YOUTUBE.

considering the kids these days don't know what the hell uhf is..maybe there should be a sequel..and it could be called..vhs haha.
behold the power and glory of 333

I doubt that there will be a sequel. I'm sure that he, or Doctor Demento, will come up with something.
