I recieved my Deliverance SE today. Though, the new transfer has beautifully rich colors, it seems to have less fine detail than the previous DVD transfer. Also, the opening credits has the title, DELIVERANCE in full capitals, whereas the previous transfer was in lower, case: Deliverance.
This film was flashed by Vilmos Zsigmond, who used the process on many of the films he shot in the 70s and this new transfer looks more like a flashed film than the previous transfer did. Warner seem to have used a different 35mm element for this new transfer than they used for their circa 2000 transfer. Don't get me wrong - I think that it looks great, but I am so used to the subtle lowercase titling on the opening credits, that I was taken aback.

Maybe the previous DVD was contrast-boosted and sharpened, and Zsigmond and/or Boorman was unsatisfied...?
EDIT: It's also possible that the elements have deteriorated a lot since 2000.

I wish The Mount would release the original theatrical cut of The Warriors for those of us who happen to dislike the, IMO, ill conceived "comic book frame" transitions Hill put into the DC...I know the original can be had if you look hard enough (I have had it for years) but to have the original cut in a nice HD transfer would be fantastic.

The Shining is a great comparison! The 2-disc edition looks great. I'll certainly be picking up the new box.

I was hoping DVDBeaver would show either the "helicopter shadow" shot or the "helicopter rotors" shot from early in the movie to see if the matting erases those errors or not. Oh well, I'll find out Tueday...
