According to Fangoria.com:

"ALLIGATOR, meanwhile, will arrive a week earlier on Sept. 18. A source tells Fango that this disc will have a widescreen transfer, the commentary by Teague and star Robert Forster from the previous Anchor Bay UK disc, a new interview with scripter John Sayles and a trailer."

Sweet. I held off on the AB UK disc so it's nice to see some of the extras showing up here. The only downside is that Alligator 2 won't be incluided. I hope they get that out sometime soon. Pure cheesy fun.

Will it be AB/Starz releasing it in R1? I already have the UK edition. Doubt I'll double-dip for this. The only way to include Alligator 2 is as a double feature. No way I'd buy it on its own. BTW Cannabis, love your about me quote on DVDSpot.

It's Lions Gate.

Thanks. I completely stand by that statement. It is true, Bronson is full-bodied, robust, sometimes sweet; but he'll always kill you.

Wow, I remember watching this on TV numerous times as a kid. It probably doesn't hold up now that I'm grown up, but I suspect that's something I'm going to learn the hard way!

I also held off buying the R2 release, and don't consider the lack of Alligator 2*to be any loss - I'm in.

You might be surprised. I think it lived up to my memories of it. The creature effects are a little dated but look pretty damn good. Now it would be all CGI.

I've waited so long for this... Glorious. Simply glorious. September is really going to break the bank.

Great news...great campy flick.

This is great. I've been wanting a copy of this for years. Good releases coming from LG. Widescreen Cujo and now this.

Finally. Talk about overdue.

A widescreen transfer? Was this a DTV release? I first saw it in 2000 on The Sci-Fi Channel, and I figured it was something made for TV. Photography had the look of something cheap from the early '80s.

--THX

It had a theatrical release. [sarcasm]I think it was overlooked at the Oscars for cinematography [/sarcasm]. It showed up on TV quite a bit after its theatrical run.

I agree, what took so frickin' long??

Wicked Awesome!!!
