Well I have the Lion's Gate Canadian release and there are no extras on that -- unless you count production notes, filmographies and a trailer as extras.
Anamorphic 1.85:1 (the cover is misprinted as 'letterbox') and Dolby Surround. The transfer is very good considering the quality of the source material (remember it's a low budget piece).
The US re-release looks to be Lion's Gate (or Trimark?) so I would expect the same disk as I have -- which looks to be the same as the original Universal/MCA release anyway.

They should be identical... Lions Gate/TriMark picked up quite a few Universal titles and are simply re-releasing them at a reduced price without adding anything extra.

I am sorry to report that although the transfer appears identical on the Lions Gate release I just bought, the great trailer cut to "Heart of the Sunrise" by Yes (same track as the strip club scene) is no longer there. It is replaced by a 'secret' link that shows a trailer comp for Lions Gate films including an inferior one for the film. However, the menus are nicer than the Universal release, if anyone cares.
