Anamorphic, solid transfer, fine DD track, deleted scenes, etc... Pick it up.

One caution, though. I have heard reports that the sex scene in the beginning is edited for whatever reason and is therefore shorter on the DVD than it was on the VHS.

I believe the sex AND curb scene are edited/deleted on the DVD version.

I watched this on DVD for the first time having owned it on VHS and the curb scene on the DVD is edited down quite a bit. What the hell? That scene was pretty powerful and on the DVD, it's totally cut up and doesn't have nearly the same impact.

Curbs and sex both present on my UK Region 2.

From memory, also features these scenes, but I would have to check if it was in the film itself or as part of the deleted scenes:

New Line Cinema DVD features 3 scenes deleted from the original theatrical version.
A scene in which an elderly black woman is harassed and made to cry on the boardwalk by a bunch of teenage skinheads.
A scene after the "party", in which Cameron and Seth go to a cafe and discuss Derek's change. They then harass a black guy/white girl couple, and then leave. A car is waiting outside, in which several black men watch them leave, before going after them. One black man inside the car remarks "Somebody's gonna get their ass whipped." The aftermath is not shown, but we later learn that Cameron and Seth were attacked.
A brief scene in the cafe near the end in which Derek winks at a little black girl and asks her if he looks okay.
