Even that '99 release was lightyears past the way it had been for previous video releases. We're spoiled now. I still remember the awe I felt when I got the remastered laserdisc and compared it even to the first laserdisc release, let alone VHS. That '99 DVD release was basically the same master (although they had mistakenly used the wrong transfer-they used the first pass instead of the later transfer actually used for the laser.).

Just to correct - the R2 UK disc shown earlier utilizes the later corrected transfer not used for the Pioneer dvd releases as Don May Jr himself has previously stated. The 'fake-anamorphic' PAL release refered to is the Australian R4 release I believe. The R2UK disc is currently the preferable release, PAL speed-up notwithstanding, until the true anamorphic release surfaces.

There is a documentary called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: A Family Portrait that is available in other regions. The one included here will be The Shocking Truth. I remember reading about a documentary for which fans have been pining for years. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Which is which?

Thank goodnes, what I got has no dent, no missing insert and no double special features disc

So...Why is there a need for such R2? (which cost shipment and a Multi-System/region DVD/TV)
