I did a little bit of research and it appears that it has added a missing title card at the start of the film. So if you want that extra title card, be sure to pick up that version *rolls eyes*

You and me both! It's gonna be tough getting through these next couple of weeks!

I can't wait for the documentary too!

I'm hoping the doc arrives in the next few days (one website already has it).

The original release of "Friday The 13th: Part 3" had a commentary? It's not listed on the back of my (unopened) DVD case.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't featured on the original DVD release but it's on the box set....

Yeah it was in the box set, yet another reason to keep my box set. But I will be buying the first one on BD, the 2nd and 3rd one, plus I will also be buying the 3rd one again from Australia. And the documentary too!

I'm buying 1 & 2 also plus the My Name is Jason doc....
3 isn't worth getting since it has no features & 3D usually looks like shit on DVD....

Does part 3 come with a 3D [anaglyph] version?

I had no idea that there was anything additional on that box set. I'm kind of glad I didn't know, as I might have been tempted to buy it.

I think the later films would benefit more from their uncut scenes...I hope they release them some day as well.

Part IIII comes with the Red/Blu glasses (two of them). The 3D effects are near, but even when watching in a pitch black room, the color of the film is way off. Its a cute gimmick for 15 minutes, but I would not watch the entire film like that.

Damn. I went to Second Spin in Newport Beach yesterday and someone had returned what must have been their review copies of F13th and pt. 2, but no BD of part 1 and no part 3. I thought I might get lucky a little early. Looks like they also traded in the Bourne collection on BD if anyone near there is looking to grab that one early.

Thanks.

3D really looks bad on DVD? Then i'll have to pass on Part 3
Unless I can find it really cheap later on. Then I may give it a try anyway.
So now it's down to Part 1 & 2 on release day.

Man, you guys said it.

Does it have to be the crappy Red-Blue Paper glasses? Would it work if I used the 3-D glasses I got from seeing My Bloody Valentine?

I tried watching a 3-D episode of Medium a year or so ago with the Red-Blue glasses and honestly the effects didn't look that great and were barely noticeable.

No, it wouldn't work. MBV uses polarized glasses and Friday Part 3 uses anaglyph.

The theatrical release of FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 was polarized (clear glasses) but the new Paramount DVD is an anaglyph (red/cyan) conversion.

If you want to see something which more closely approximates the original theatrical version, there are field sequential versions for shutter glasses out there.

I'd imagine there will be a higher quality re-issue in 3-D on Blu-ray in a year or two when all the new home video 3-D tech hits the market.

In the meantime, no, you can't wear poalrized glasses to watch an anaglyphic version.

Does the new version of Part III include a non-3D version of the movie?

I believe so. I think Paramount considers the 3-D version to be a "bonus feature", hence the lack of any actual bonus features.

Yup....

That's good to know. I didn't think it did. Nice...

It was announced awhile ago unless they changed their mind,I'm sure Gizmo can confirm....

Has anyone been able to preview the quality of Part 3's 3-d? The 3-d versions I've seen on dvd have looked terrible, but I'm sure thats because they weren't legit releases.
