I'm sorry to say that the extras are nearly non-existant. It has the theatrical trailer and some text biographies on the cast. That is it.
It does have the two versions on the disc (NC-17 and R).
The film is anamorphic 2.35:1 and the transfer is pretty crisp and clean from what I remember. I don't remember any issues with it, but it's been maybe 5 months since my last viewing.
I have no idea on a Criterion release, however, Criterion did a LD release. That makes me think a DVD at this point is unlikely, because if it had been possible would have likely been published by now.
I'm assuming you have seen the movie, so I won't go into that. It's (probably) safe to say that if you are a fan of Cronenberg (specifically his less mainstream work), you will like Crash. It's quite edgy and sexual, to say the least. But good stuff.

The transfer is very good, but could have been better. That's why I am praying for Criterion to do a LD to DVD upgrade on it.
