So the amazing docu from the 1st release won't be on this right? So I will buy the new release and keep the old one for the 1 hour documentary then.

DonnachaOne 07-17-03 10:45 PM

I also ask, "Camp classic"?

wordtoyamotha 07-17-03 10:54 PM

I might as well post the following to save someone else the trouble even though I could care less:

"What??!?!? NO DTS??!?!?!?!?? OMG I'm going to devote the rest of my life to cursing and banning this studio, AHHHHH!?!?!??! :johnwoo:

wm lopez 07-18-03 12:24 AM

The 1st dvd had deleted scenes didn't it?
I know my laserdisc did.

Can you imagine people buying the full screen of this movie?

Tazwolff 07-18-03 01:00 AM

Camp Classic? Def Jam? NOOOOO... This is not Scarface! :(

RyoHazuki 07-18-03 02:24 AM

Oh man. Why did we need the Def Jam thing on there? How did a movie about a Cuban druglord influence rap music?

I don't know about the R1 version but the R2 has deleted scenes and the 50 min doc.

Damn, no documentary and no deleted scenes. :( And WTF is up with that Def Jam crap? :mad: Maybe i'll try to find a copy of the 1st release.

Tupac and Biggie are probably the result of Scarface.

lesterlong 07-18-03 11:15 AM

Wow, that's really disappointing news.

Yep, that's a character I'd like to pattern my life after!
<i>"Gee willikers, ma, I'm gonna grow up to be just like that there Scarface!"</i>

I guess those two guys emulated it right to the end, eh?

wm lopez 07-18-03 11:48 AM

Damn this dvd better have a great transfer!
Can you imagine the same transfer as the 1st dvd except no deleted scenes and no documentary like the 1st dvd, but a rap hip-hop documentary on how SCARFACE influnanced my life by thugs.

DavidH 07-18-03 12:03 PM


Damn this dvd better have a great transfer!
I wonder if they are going to do an actual full restoration, or just a clean up.

Rypro 525 07-18-03 12:33 PM

And all of this will be crammed on one disc

BlackBeauty92 07-18-03 12:37 PM

what does rap guys got to do with scarface in the first place anyway??



they need to go back killing their own (other rap/gang guys or whatever...)

tonymontana313 07-18-03 12:43 PM

To be perfectly honest, I thought the first documentary was a little outdated so it will be refreshing to see what kind of new stuff they have on the re-release. I highly doubt if they were able to get the cast back together but we will see. Can somebody confirm this that De Palma wanted nothing to do with the Scarface re-release?

digitalfreaknyc 07-18-03 01:10 PM

Actually...i thought the first documentary was WAY too short and figured they'd still include it.

I also figured they'd include the deleted scenes that were in the TV version but not in that first DVD as well.


HUGE disappointment.

Rypro 525 07-18-03 01:12 PM

As long as the picture looks better then the current dvd, I'm happy.

MJARINA72 07-18-03 01:14 PM
