I just heard that Walmart has a two pack of ALIEN vs. PREDATOR with the original release of ALIEN in the package! This disc has tons of material not found in the current release. It has a different, possibly better, audio commentary with Ridley Scott. It also has the complete score by Jerry Goldsmith isolated on two audio tracks. The second one has alternate cues (some not actually written for this movie, but used in it anyway). Also on that second track is the production audio, which is fascinating to listen to, especially Lambert's death scene. This is a great disc, and it should never have gone out of print. This is a wonderful "last chance" opportunity to get it again for those that only have "Quadrilogy" or the 2 disc set.
It's really nice to see another Sharpline Arts disc re-issued. Their stuff keeps being re-printed, which is unusual with todays special editions. But with this and the ALIEN and Aliens Laser Disc extras being included in the "Quadrilogy" set and the recent re-issue of The Thing plus the Star Wars Trilogy CDs it's obvious the quality of a great disc keeps it coming back. If there was no value to this disc, they wouldn't re-release it.
Now if there was only a way to get The ALIEN Legacy, the lost documentary that was used to sell the 20th anniversary boxed set, re-issued. It was used by Fox in the UK to promote the "Quadrilogy" but it has never been re-issued here in the states.
