Kind-of a bummer that there's only a trailer, but hey, at least you can stop hunting for the DVD on eBay.

Finally!

I have been waiting for this for years.

majorjoe23

I bought the German edition about two months ago. So you're welcome!

slappy

Woohoo! I've been wanting to get a legit copy of this for some time! More extras would have been nice, but an anamorphic transfer will do just fine for me. :-)

The Monkees

My friend is gonna love this. I'll probably pick it up too. I'd like to start buying the sets. They're just a bit too much money for me. I wish I could find them at like $25.

Giles

question - did the theatrical release have 5.1 sound? because the first DVD edition wasn't encoded as such.

milo bloom

I've long had the original I found for $10 right as it went OOP, but I'll gladly upgrade for 16x9.

Finally!

Michael Allred

but May 8th is a Thursday so the date is likely wrong.

milo bloom

It was a Tuesday last year, someone might have their old calender still up.

Dane Marvin

I will own this. It will be a rare occasion of me buying an SD-DVD!

Shack

The linked article has been corrected to say May 6.

Hooray! Nice to see this re-released.

Andalusia

Awesome! I can get rid of my VHS finally.

Cameron

great, one of the few dvds i cashed in on...glad to have it replaced. now if they could get 1984 out...

Woo Hoo!

I've owned the original non-anamorphic disc for a number of years and I can't wait for a new release with a better transfer!

darkside

Definitely. I was really hoping they would put the deleted scenes on there, but I guess the movie is all we get. Glad to finally have it anamorphic at least.

darkside

No, it is only in stereo. I just hope a surround mix doesn't screw up the balance between the riffing and the movie.

The $20 MSRP is a joke though. Universal wants to charge that and they can't even put the deleted stuff in there.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

Did the original have an insert? If this doesn't and the old one does, I expect the price of the insert to quadruple on eBay.

At least I can get rid of my vhs copy now.

TomOpus

Awesome news.

tylergfoster

Yeah, if only this disc had the deleted scenes I'd have zero complaints. I just wish studios would, as a matter of faith, include any material they already have on DVDs just to be nice.

cultshock

Cool news, I can finally retire my laserdisc. Too bad about the lack of extras, but anamorphic will be nice to finally have.

MartinBlank

The OOP-version is still grabbin' $50+ on ebay

man*machine

This morning, the lowest one on Amazon was $150. Now, the lowest one there is $75. Watch it crumble even further.

darkside

I still can't let go of my Image DVD. Too many memories. I've watched it at least 50 times.

MasterofDVD

I just pulled this DVD out tonight to take a screen cap for my blog. I ended up getting caught up in the movie and forgot about the work I was doing for a bit. Shame the new DVD will have no good extras.
