That way, we can use this thread for all future releases.

Widescreen anamorphic, more than makes up for some songs that don't really mean anything to the movie. I don't really need to hear Emerson covering Spencer David Group (unless it's just a song with the same name). I've heard Brown Sugar a million times & the third song they don't even know what it was? There are so many movies & shows that have to change music all the time. Since this isn't a musical or a movie known for a great soundtrack, who cares? Pretty In Pink was only recently released with the original soundtrack & know what? I liked the changed one better. I can't see how it's better to get a full-frame version just for 3 crappy songs that don't improve the movie- how is Brown Sugar a disco song anyway? Of course it would be nice to have every movie in it's original form (George Lucas), but can you blame Universal for not wanting to pay the Rolling Stones alot of money for a movie that most people don't know & probably won't sell huge numbers. The only thing that annoyed me was that the disc is only single-layer, and the movie is over 90 minutes.

I don't think it had anything to do with paying the Rolling stones for the music or other artists. Looks like they used the wrong copy of the movie to put on dvd thats what makes me angry. There are 2 prints of the movie and when it was released to VHS years ago for some reason they replaced the songs with a score. Now when it was played on Tv they used the correct track. So it was up to them to pick the right print and they screwed up.

Well the music was used perfectly in the scenes they were in. Such as the club scene,the music added to the atmosphere and that song fit the club portion perfectly. With some crappy generic musaque thrown in over the scene,it now loses the edge it once had.
So I can see getting the original soundtrack release over the newer one. Same as getting The Godfather on the original fullframe laserdisc,or older VHS release to have the originla terric mono mix,over the shitty 5.1 only dvd.

Can anyone with the new one confirm how many times Stallone shoots at the end?? There seems to have been a controversy over the ending and if it was cut or not... At least according to here anyway...

I would rather lose some lame tunes by a bunch of old guys, then to see a action film in pan and scam. I think I will buy the Universal DVD over the Goodtimes foolscreen edition over some dumb tunes.
