Christ, I was all smug and secure in the knowledge that I wouldn't have to buy both the R2 and the Criterion, but they've just made it very difficult indeed!
Here are the new specs:
Disc One
- New high-definition digital transfer of the uncut version, enhanced for widescreen televisions
- Audio commentary by film scholar Stephen Prince
- Isolated music and effects track
- English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired
- Optimal image quality: RSDL dual-layer edition
Disc Two
- Sam Peckinpah: Man of Iron - an 80 min. documentary on Sam Peckinpah
- Behind the scenes footage
- On Location: Dustin Hoffman on the set of Straw Dogs
- Behind-the-scenes footage
- New Video interviews with Susan George and Daniel Melnick
- Original theatrical and television trailers
- Peckinpah Responds: Select letters to critics and viewers
Anyone in doubt as to whether to buy this or not should take into account that Criterion's licence for this only lasts about a year, at which point it will most likely go OOP in early 2004 and pass over to MGM.
