So,i finally wanna pick up "Starship Troopers" on DVD,and i see it has this new release which came out 06.12.07

http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_ite...earchID=142535

Now,i can't find any definitive answer as to what's on the disc,some sites say it's 1 disc,others say it's 2 discs and i couldn't find exact full specs on any site.
So if anyone can help out and let me know what's on the new disc,and if it's indeed the 2 disc SE just with a new package,please do!
Thx!

According to the link you posted, it says "repackaged", and the only feature is a commentary track. Looks like one of those "Let's put the same old disc in a new box and hope people think it's a new edition" things. I have a 2-disc edition that has LOTS of extras and came out a few years ago. I'd look for that one, if I were you.

Well,but the same link says this contains 2 discs.
Can someone add any other info please?

Why in the heck did that 2-disc SE go out of print anyway? Anyone know? I really want it, but don't want to pay a lot for it. It looks like it was really cheap for a 2-disc SE back when it was in print.

This is the 2 disc special edition that came out in 2002





It's a real good special edition.

That cover art! Are they serious? That has to be one of the most ridiculous designs I've seen on a DVD. The two-disc Special Edition is the definitive release. Wouldn't go near the other two.

But if did I want a single-disc edition, I would locate a copy of the initial release. Probably about the same as this repackaging, only with much better cover art. Seriously-- a claw grabbing a starship? A burst of plasma surging past the ship would have made more sense. No matter. I'm not buying.

Was anyone aware of this?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually a bit excited for that; however, I have a bad feeling it won't be as "fun" as the original.

Not expecting much from 3, but ill definately give it a shot.

1) That new cover is unbelievably bad. I would not like to know more.
2) The superbit version does have the best transfer so far, so I would grab that if I was looking for a single-disc version (9.99 at Best Buy still, I guess).
3) Starship Troopers 3? I'm intrigued, and want it to be as "awesome" as master thespian Casper Van Dien says it is. However, I won't be too surprised to hear that it's terrible.

Not to derail this thread any more but I still haven't seen Starship Troopers 2. Is it worth a look? How about those animated Roughnecks DVDs?

I bought the original ST DVD way back when, I never got around to double dipping on the SE. I'll probably just hold out for HD when it arrives.

You might want to check a local Circuit City store in your area. It was quite a while ago but I got my copy there on sale for $4.99 within the past year and I saw copies of that version in stock for a long time after the sale ended.

hindolio

short answer imho...

starship troopers, no.

roughnecks, yes.

UAIOE

"2" is only really worth watching to see Kelly Carlson naked, but you could see that on "Nip/Tuck".

So I guess there really isn't a reason unless you *have* to see every single movie Brenda Strong is in.

I never saw the "Roughnecks" DVD's


Also: The new cover is rendered "lame" with the stupid photoshopped bug leg.
