Near Dark...specs on Lions Gate release?

I know Anchor Bay released a 2 disc version with DTS sound on '02. I see there was another release by Lions Gate in '09 but cant find the specs on it. Anyone have some info on this release? Thanks.

It's pretty much the exact thing as the first disc of the Anchor Bay set.

The Anchor Bay release is definitely inferior simply because it is missing the excellent and haunting 45 minute documentary about making the film.

Yes your right, my mistake, thanks for the clarification!

And as the other poster mentions the Blu-ray has everything except some text pages of bios and information like that (which anyone can find on IMDB anyway).
