Thanks Patrick! I've been waiting for this one for nearly a year when I heard Friedkin was working on it. Glad to see the alternate ending on there to boot.

I would have liked to see the music videos. I ran across one for the title song on VH1 classics but couldn't tape. I wish more companies would put music videos on DVD.

With the state the music industry is in, I'm sure they just see $$$ whenever studios approach them for anything DVD related.
As cool as the Wang Chung music and videos are, I wouldn't want them to hold up this disc any longer.

I am SOOOOOOOO all over this one!!! December 2nd can't come quick enough!! I can't believe it has all that I was hoping for: 5.1, anamorphic, deleted scenes, alternate ending AND a Freidkin commentary!!! Add into that the fact that it's only $19.95!! I know where MY money is going this December!!

Awesome news. One of my favorites. Great cover art too. It's very close to my original insert:

Have never seen the film, but I might buy it sight unseen since I've heard so many good things about it; I became a big Friedkin fan last year when I picked up The French Connection and The Exorcist, while I found The Hunted to be mildly entertaining; if theres any extra cash lying around in December I'll definitely pick this and Escape From New York up. MGM certainly knows how to build anticipation for their catalogue titles... |

If you liked The French Connection I'm sure you'll like To Live & Die in L.A.. To my mind at least, it's an even better film.
My list of most-wanted DVDs just got one disc shorter. This has been a great year!  |
