Back to the Future *DVD Features* Announced!!!! (1 Viewer)

[Eric T]

Extras, schmextras. As long as it's a good transfer with clean 5.1 audio, I'm on board

 

[SteveGon]

give me a break what do people want micheal j. fox included with the dvd's?

I was kinda hoping for Elisabeth Shue!

 

[Carl Johnson]

I just checked out the full list of Eric Stoltz pics http://www.bttf.com/cgi-bin/imageFol...as_Marty_McFly and it looks like they damn near shot whole film before going with MJF. Regardless I'd be happy to add BTTF to my collection even if it were released as a bare bones flipper

 

[Steve Felix]

Zemeckis isn't the type to tinker with new audio after the fact (thank goodness), but it could be out of his hands.

I've lost my capacity to be excited about these discs, but I'm sure I'll be ecstatic upon owning them.

Extras are nice, but it's the films I want, extras or no. As long as it's OAR and anamorphic I'm happy. Throw in deleted scenes and a great commentary, great, but the lack of them isn't a dealbreaker.

 

[Justin Lane]

Well, the main reason that I'm not buying them is because I don't really care for the films , but my point is that a trilogy this anticipated and requested deserves better extras.

Thread fart.

Oh well, I will be picking up these titles regardless of the so called lack of extras. It's about damn time these discs are in my collection.

About the bandwidth issue, i'm shocked that nobody has mentioned that it is VERY likely that this disc will feature both a DD track AND a DTS track.
Two fairly obvious factors make this almost inevitable...
1. This is a Speilberg production. ALL of his films on dvd feature a DTS track so far.
2. It's a Universal title. We all know that they have a habit of featuring both audio formats on the same disc.
Combine those two things and i'm willing to bet this will happen.
This also makes me a bit worried about the quality of the video, even at only a running time of 110 min, all those extra's plus a DD and DTS track will eat up A LOT of disc space.
This is all speculation right now of course, we'll just have to wait and see I guess.

 

[Nick Graham]

If I remember right, according to an older Bob Gale interview on that site, he did say they had made seperate 1:33:1 and OAR transfers, so.....

Yeah, I wasn't even thinking about DTS until you mentioned it. It will be interesting to see if Universal's lack of using two discs for each movie makes the video quality suffer - even if a little bit by unnecessary artifacts.

Hi,

About the bandwidth issue, i'm shocked that nobody has mentioned that it is VERY likely that this disc will feature both a DD track AND a DTS track.

Keep in mind that these are the specs for the international edition. If you take a look at other international Spielberg DVDs you'll note that many of them don't have a DTS track, e.g. there's no Jaws or SPR with DTS in R2. So I wouldn't be too surprised if the R1s of BTTF will actually be 2 disc sets with DTS.

Also, the fact that R2 specs are already out but no word of R1 specs makes me kinda nervous. If an R2 is released before the R1 it's never a good sign. Reminds me of the rush job MGM did with Terminator SE in R2/4 against Van Ling's will, only to do a proper release with improved extras a few months later in R1. Same thing seems to be happening with Crimson Tide SE which is out now in Germany and which doesn't have a commentary track even though Tony Scott recorded one.

So I hope the R1 specs will be out before the international version is released, otherwise I'll wait for R1 just to be on the safe side.

I live and breath BTTF, so buying these is a no-brainer.
I've seen scenes and stills of deleted scenes from Parts I & II, but never any for Part III. That should be interesting...

1. This is a Speilberg production. ALL of his films on dvd feature a DTS track so far.

Not Empire of the Sun or The Goonies (a film he wrote the story for and produced).

 

[streeter]

Gee, for a famous actor who becomes a PA just for the heck of it (say anything), I would have expected Eric Stolz not to care about inclusion of his footage. I wish someone could talk some sense into him.

 

[Jon_B]

bring them on!!! What a day it will be when I have my favorite movie on dvd.

[Bernhard]

I'm at a point now where I don't care about the extras... I just want those movies on DVD!!! I've been around here for a long time now and remember every time they "announced" the immediate release of the BTTF trilogy only to delay it again soon afterwards.

Come on, it can't be THAT hard...

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Damn, I forgot those, but you get my drift. MOST OF THE TIME Speilberg includes DTS on his dvd's.

 

[TheoGB]

It's probably just been too long since I saw the original but does anyone else think that Stolz really looks like he could be Crispin Glover's son? I wonder if they'd have picked a different actor for George McFly if they'd got Fox from day one?

I also think the extras are slightly below-par, but that's mainly because I'd have liked commentaries on all three movies...

 

[Larry Geller]

does anyone else think that Stolz really looks like he could be Crispin Glover's son?

Actually, with that hair, he looks like Doc Browns's son!!!
Looks like 2 Reverend Jims in 1 movie was one too many!

No where does it say when the US release will happen. Is it possible it will still take place in December? (According to the Digital Bits).
