I heard this was coming out the same day as the Goodfellas Special Edition: EVENTUALLY.

OMG I love Predator! A classic monster movie, and much, much more. A monster movie for the Thinking Person. I will never forget the first time I saw it. My old roommate dragged me to the video store to rent it, and then sat back like the cat who swallowed the canary and let me discover the first glimpse on my own. Totally creepy!

PEACH

So this'll be the 3rd Region 1 Predator release. I hope they get it right this time.

i remember going to see this one with my best friend and our fathers. awesome flick! we all loved it and its still one of my favorites...i have been waiting for a better release...this is great news!

I'll pick it up if it has a new transfer + some good features. Otherwise my 10 dollar DTS version is just fine.

Forget this title. Already have the DTS version. WHERE's the True Lies SE DVD already!?

Man, ain't that the truth. Third time'd better be the charm.

By the way, what special features were on other regions' versions? Somebody said there are some deleted scenes and documentaries, but what exactly? I'd love to know. This is one of my all time fave flicks.

"COME ON OUT YOU F*****S. 'OL PAINLESS IS WAITIN'."

Ha! I love it!

Remember the "uncut" version in England is the same as the theaterical version in U.S.

On the generously filled second disc there are seven short behind-the-scenes featurettes (including one dedicated to "Old Painless" the Gatling gun) plus a retrospective documentary, "If It Bleeds We Can Kill It", which includes both old and new interviews with many of the cast and crew. There are also outtakes and a deleted scene, special effects segments, camouflage tests and a text profile of the creature and its weaponry, plus a photo gallery

Wow, thanks Chanster. Hopefully they'll include all that good stuff and some more goodies...keep your fingers crossed everybody.

Man, I can't wait!

finally!

I'm glad i managed to hold off on the current version, this better be worth the wait.

If only we knew what the release date was...possibly before the release of Alien vs. Predator?

Fourth, actually

ya know, this cover sucks for peps who havent seen it yet. part of the Predator experience was waiting tensely to see what he looked like. first it was the invisibility thing, then getting a good look at him, then it was his face.

oh well, since i've seen it many times, it dont mattah.

Glad to see that Fox will finally release the SE. I've been close to ordering it from another region.

This is great news. Predator is a movie I'd have no problem double dipping on. My $10 copy has more than paid for itself, seeing as I've watched it many a time.

Love this movie, there's really nothing wrong with it.

"Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here! This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me!"

Heh, definately one of the best action movies out there.

Actually, it's the third release for Region 1. Or, at least, third different version.

It's going to be released in July.

That cover art above is just awful!

I agree, True Lies is my favorite Arnie film and I will absolutely not purchase the current non-anamorphic version. If only I had a
D-VHS player.

I broke down and got the BB one a couple months ago... Only $7 so I won't mind double-dipping on it.

Cool. Definitely the best Arnold movie, in my opinion--I hope it has the AMC Backstore doc that AMC did (I think) two years ago. I remember having my dad tape the special and send it to me. It'd be nice to have on dvd.

Gee, I wonder why.

There are four conditions on me buying this:
- New Transfer
- Better DTS Track
- Whole Bunch of Features
- Alien vs. Predator teasers/trailers (hopefully in DD 5.1)

I'm still disappointed that the separate releases got the teaser and the Quad. didn't.

Its the exact same DTS 4.1 track (mono rears) on both releases - we'll see if Fox have done any work on the R1 SE if they release a fully restored copy with a true DTS 5.1 track and remastered picture with the occasional extremely grainy shots removed (Dutch's team dropping into the Jungle from the Chopper looks dreadful!)

Why? Alien vs. Predator is coming in August. July is a good time frame.

Is this a confirmed release?

Because I have the DTS edition (and quite pleased with it) and It’s also one of my fav movie…

If I can sell or exchange my current edition, then get the newer one when it comes out, I would be more than happy!!

So is it confirmed??

Yes it is --- coming in July.

Predator is a bargain title as it stands now, you probably won't get much for it on ebay or whatever. I have seen the R2 extras and while they are neat, unless there is a better looking picture, I am holding off on it.

Yea, I got my dts version for $12 or something like that at BB.

But, as much as I like this movie, I'm definitely getting the SE, and will probably just hang onto the dts version anyway.

Sh!t, it's gonna be a looooong six months....
