Unless the transfer is way better, I think I'd rather keep the DTS version. Love the flick tho...

JMcCraw 07-20-06 01:37 PM

I'm loving the Patrick Swayze revival!

This movie has alwasy been a guilty pleasure of mine, but unless this new release is a huge improvment over my current DVD, I think I'll pass.

JOE29 07-20-06 02:53 PM

I don't have this DVD yet in my collection so I will get this on the release date.

jdslater1 07-20-06 02:57 PM

This is a def for me. Like JOE29 I don't own this and it looks like a pretty decent set of extras. Thats alot of deleted scenes for a film like this. I really like that cover as well.

Love the cover, not a fan of the "Pure Adrenaline" title. Buuuuuut, I don't currently have a copy of this, so if the DD 5.1 isn't far off from the dts track and the transfer is an improvment, then I'm interested.

The correct title should have been "100% Pure Adrenaline Edition". :)

I've never gotten around to picking this one up yet...so waiting a little longer won't hurt me. Looks decent enough for me.

Same here.....

I used to have the old DVD release and love this movie. I remember going to see it at the cinema and thought it was easily one of the best movies of the 90's. I always remembered on the trailer a short clip showing Keanu riding shot gun to Swayze and firing off a shot out the window from the gun that he uses on Swayze when they are free falling. Prorbaly be one of the added deleted scenes. Definite purchase.

I'm with the Dogg on this.

FatTony 07-20-06 04:52 PM

Great, now I'm fully erect. I'm hoping for a better transfer, but I don't know who I'm kidding. I'll buy this regardless.

bluetoast 07-20-06 08:17 PM

This movie has the best chase scene of all time.

why's it a "guilty pleasure"? Movie was awesome.

Geofferson 07-20-06 10:10 PM

I'll probably get this and keep the current disc for the DTS. :)

Harold Wazzu 07-20-06 10:14 PM

Is the current release anamorphic?

And the title is about as lame as the rest of 'em...

Please elaborate.

Yup.

I'm assuming he's talking of the car/foot chase between Johnny Utah and Bodhi.

digitalfreaknyc 07-20-06 10:28 PM

chalk this up to a movie i never would've thought to get a double-dip.

Tenacious D 07-21-06 06:51 AM

I'm in. I've always passed the current bare-bones release by hoping for a SE someday. I love this movie!

Mark Roger 07-21-06 08:37 AM

No commentary... No sale.

Yeti4623 07-21-06 10:08 AM

I really want a commentary, but this may do. I like the cover, but prefer the original.

I was holding out for for a SE. Finaly it's here. I wondered if they'd release a SE on the 15th ann., but thought it wasn't happening, because there was no news, this far into the year.

I seriously doubt they'll be releasing a better version, any time soon. So I'll most likely get it.

freshticles 07-21-06 10:51 AM

I'm crazy stoked for this. I named my cat Bodhi because of this movie.
