A new, repackaged 30th anniversary DVD for Saturday Night Fever is to be released next week with some bonus features.

Is the film itself a new transfer? If I'm not mistaken, an HD version is also to be released soon, so I'm wondering if the DVD is taken from the new HD source.

This review says "perhaps" but they really couldn't tell.

I think it's a new transfer. I compared it to the old one and found the new one to offer notable improvements:

Wow- the deleted scenes AREN'T carried over onto this new DVD???

Thanks for the info! This definitely won't be a double-dip for me.

Not unless they're hidden, and I don't think they are...

Colin: Nice review.

Is there a reason (and forgive me if you've been asked this a zillion times) that any time you use an apostrophe or quotation marks in your reviews they turn up as little black diamonds with white question marks inside them?

There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Might need to stick with the old disc...

I don't know - it's not supposed to happen, and it doesn't usually happen. I just looked at the review via IE, Firefox and Opera - looked fine in all of them on this computer. I HAVE seen it at other times, though...

Re: Saturday Night Fever 30th Anniversary DVD...new transfer?

I was in Target today and noticed that they now have one of those $9.99 'double feature' discs with SNF and Stayin' Alive.

I read the back of the case, and apparently the 3 deleted scenes from SNF that went missing on the 30th Anniversary release have magically re-appeared!

Strange, huh?

You sure it isn't a double feature package using the prior disc release?

Re: Saturday Night Fever 30th Anniversary DVD...new transfer?

Paramount has been know to do this before. My 3-disc Jack Ryan set inexplicably included the old Patriot Games disc alongside the Special Collector's Editions of The Hunt for Red October and Clear and Present Danger. Go figure.

No doubt that it is- I just found it ironic that they removed the deleted scenes for the "30th Anniversary" DVD that had originally been on the 1st DVD release, then there's this inexpensive double-feature disc with the deleted scenes back again.
