Thanks Brandon ! It looks like the other covers remained true to the originals.

The DVD gods have answered my prayers!! Breakfast Club, Three O'Clock High, Sixteen Candles & Weird Science!! Somebody pinch me.

TOO SWEEEET!

I doutn it. It doesn't make much sense to take DVDs of the market, then put identical ones on several months later. Unless they just have new transfers. At any rate, I doubt these are same discs as before.

Did the original releases of the Hughes Movies have their original soundtracks restored? I know that the VHS I have of Weird Science replaced Pretty Woman (in the mall) and the Rocky Theme (at the end) with the WS theme song.

The three John Hughes brat pack movies have remixed DTS tracks.

Three O'Clock High is DD 2.0 Surround.

As for other extras... anyone??

Nope. The DVD soundtracks were the same as the VHS: Pretty Woman and Rocky were missing. Here's hoping the new versions restore the soundtrack!!!!

Can't say I really like the "High School Reunion" banner at the top, but the original artwork is good except the font for The Breakfast Club.

Are these the rumored SE's or Image re-releases?

 

[Patrick Mirza]

None are Special Editions.

That is, unless you consider "trailers" special edition content...

 

[Scott_J]

are these barebones?

Essentially, yes. According to menu screen shots posted at DavisDVD, extras on all the Hughes re-releases are limited to "Recommendations" (i.e. covers of other Universal DVDs) and the film's trailer, except for Sixteen Candles which doesn't even include its trailer.

 

[Brian Kidd]

Bummer. There would be such an audience for special editions of these films. They were such a huge part of my generation's formative years. Dang it.

Weird Science and Breakfast Club really need a reunion commentary.
At least have a reunion Doc on Breakfast club and a Reunion commentary on Weird Science.
Love to hear Bill paxton now, about Chet back then

 

[JasenP]

That is, unless you consider "trailers" special edition content...

No, but full-color artwork on disk, chapter stops, and a 4 page collectable booklet would qualify.

 

[TomF]

Any word on whether Sixteen Candles has all of the original music restored? I'd guess not, but one can at least hope...

 

[Marc Colella]

They should just rename the banner to "The Anthony Michael Hall Collection".

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

Why is there no loving for Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson?

Same applies to whoever the hell played Jake Ryan in Sixteen Candles.

They should just rename the banner to "The Anthony Michael Hall Collection".

You mean we've waited through all the delays for crappy barebone DVDs? Boo Hiss Universal
