Yet another needless re-release. With so many other titles begging to be simply anamorphically enhanced from their original release, I am scrutinizing more and more which titles are worth a double dip. Certain action films, science fiction films etc...at least to me, are more worthy of a re-release (hey Warner, how about the Road Warrior?).

Since the old release is 16x9 and has the trailer I see no reason to buy the new release.

I ain't parting with the previous edition from Paramount. I love this little gem of a film enough, but not enough to warrant a double-dip. I don't watch it that much, it just sits and collects dust. Just my 2 cents.

I think Leo looks pretty awkward in the new cover's picture. I'll definitely be picking this up as it's one of my favorites from the early 90's. Sucks that I picked up the first one when it first came out for $20 only to watch it drop to $5.99 at Best Buy. Oh well. You win some, you lose some. I'm in.
