Well, that sucks. I'm not really a fan of the film having only seen it once when it first came out theatrically. However, I can tell you this, the ONLY thing I remember about the film is that disco scene and "I Love The Nightlife" playing. So, there's no way I'd ever think about buying this DVD if the only scene I remember from the film has been changed because of rights issues. I assume Sony doesn't mention anything about "music being changed" on the DVD case, either. If they're trying to pull a fast one on fans, screw 'em.
On the other side, I just picked up the DVD of LIFEGUARD and am happy to report that Paramount came through and restored the vocal song to the opening credits and final sequence of the film. It was always replaced with a bland instrumental on the old VHS release. The song is as cheesy as I remembered it to be and am glad it's finally back in. Thanks, Paramount, for going the extra mile to fix a pretty obscure title that would have flown under the radar regardless if they fixed it or not. That's the way it should be done.
