Yeah, this "edition" title takes the cake. Already got the barebones one (with DTS) so unless I see this one for under $10, I'm skipping it. Even then, I'll keep the other and make it a 2-disc set since this one only has DD.

Can't blame Fox for trying to cash in on this one. I traded my old one in awhile ago...

Anyone else remember getting flyers before entering the theater?

No DTS on this one. Those cheesey little extras ain't worth a double dip if you downgrade the sound!

I bought this in the $5.50 bin around Christmas, and still never watched it. It's still in the shrinkwrap. Don't think I'll upgrade. LOL

I have no desire to ever see this movie, but when I saw the title I had to click the thread to make sure it was legitimate. Of all the over the top special edition titles, I think this one is the winner

What - a title with the words "Martial Law Edition" and no extras from Alex Jones & Info Wars? THAT would have been cool

I worked at a theater when this was playing initially, and the best thing to do would be to walk in and watch the audience's reaction when the bus exploded.

Got 'em everytime!

I actually don't know what is worst: The Martial Law Edition title or that the title of the movie in this cover looks like "The Siege and Bruce Willis".

This may very well be the worst cover art I've ever seen...and I remember Real Genius and Short Circuit!

And here I was hoping this had something to do with that Sammo Hung show "Martial Law".
