I'll definately be picking up the Blu-Ray.
Hopefully this is a new transfer for the SD DVD. That current one is one of those original DVDs from the early days of DVD, I think.
If it ain't re-mastered then I'll cry.
Worth for a new transfer only...
finally my prayers have been answered only took 5 damm years but i can't wait to get it wish it was extended cut though
Saw it the other day on TV and wondered if a Collector's Edition is in the making. This movie is one of the absolute best out there.
Personally, I think that this was John Woo's last great movie. His Hollywood flicks haven't gotten any better, and I'm waiting patiently for him to get back to kicking much @ss. I'm glad this is coming out - can't wait to hear the commentary. This is one movie that cried out for a special edition-type release, and I will be more than happy to shell out for it. It's coming out right around my birthday, so...
I have the original release but am too lazy to get up and look so can someone tell me if it was anamorphic? If it's not, then I will definitely pick this badboy up! That artwork is pretty awesome. I'm digging it. This was an awesome and somewhat underrated movie.
Oh, and I wish Fox would give Broken Arrow a re-release with anamorphic video!

I don't think the eye in the middle was present on the earlier covers.
Yessssssss!!!

According to DVDcompare.net it is. But there were no extras on that release. So if you are an extras fan, it might be good to double dip. I don't own this, so I will probably get it. One of the few Hollywood Woo films I did enjoy.

I'm sure this film was great at the time, but I rented this back in 2003 and was kinda disappointed in it. It's average, at best, and I feel this was so overrated. It's a good movie, but from what everyone told me about it, it didn't live up to the hype in my book.
Glad they kept the original art for the fans of the film. It is a cool cover. And no, that eye in the middle was not part of the original cover. Looks cool.

I enjoyed the film for what it was worth and I agree that it's probably one of the last great Woo films.
On a slightly off-topic note: Whose eye is that in the middle, Travolta's or Cage's?

Fantastic. About time! This title should've been released years ago.
Yuck that eye is weird though.
Except for the R3 all current DVDs are anamorphic, the R3 had DTS too though (pity that's not hear). The R1 has just a trailer and the R2/R4 versions a tiny making of (which is really an extended trailer).

The same as above.

This is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I've waited for a special edition...
yeah the old transfer (and especially the audio) sucks big time to todays standards
I just hope Jıhn Woo classics get such treatment in the future as well. I'll buy it for sure
That eye looks more Travolta's than Cage's...
I don't like the artwork, also they seem to leave less space what with advertising the '2 Disc....' & having a line underneath the name. Other than that a rather good actioner, but nothing on old John Woo or early Chow-Yun Fat Hong Kongers.
Somebody said they wanted an extended version of this?!?! It's too long in its current form...not a bad flick, but just too many slow spots for my action movie tastes.
That eye is creeping me out, man!
But I'll get the SD of this.

I saw this once a long time ago and remember liking it, so I may pick it up. The coverart is simple and great.
Well... at least I was right that they'd have a 5.1 EX remix. Hopefully, they'll add a DTS mix, too.
Can't wait. Excellent film.

i have the original R1 release and the eye is indeed there..but its much less pronounced, sorta in the shadows compared to these covers.
but yeah i'm an extras freak so this is a definate double dip for me...i love this movie...especially that shot of nic cage coming out of his car as the wind catches his jacket...its over the top cool..lol

I already have this dvd was'nt planning on double dipping, but with an alternate ending I may have to buy it.
About time! Covers are awesome.
Wow we also need a Special Collectors Edition for:
Ghost in the Darkness (HD DVD/Blu-ray) NON ANAMORPHIC/BARE BONUS
Congo (HD DVD/Blu-ray) NO BONUSES

Wow that is cool i never noticed that. It looks like the eye belongs to both of them, 1 eye to make 2.

Most likely, usually Paramount High Definition discs feature both soundtracks. And thats what's good about Paramount nowadays.

Yeah, although the first release is anamorphic, it is from a VERY dirty uncleaned up print. So I may have to up grade.
OK, they need to release, THE ROCK, SE, anamorphic, I'm pissed there is no anamorphic version, I'm not even sure the criterion version, that sells for like $40 is anamorphic. Since criterion screwed me with my expensive ROBOCOP.

Those are all great, but there's one big title Paramount announced 3 years ago that I'm still waiting on: where the hell is the "Braveheart" special edition?!....Come on, they already missed the 10 year anniversary opportunity in 2005. What, do we have to wait until 2010 now for a 15th anniversary tie-in?? What gives?!?...also, since we're talking Paramount here, I wouldn't mind special/collector's editions for "Double Jeopardy", "The Saint", "Snake Eyes", "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and spiffed up multi-sets for Crowe's "Vanilla Sky" and "Elizabethtown"....
