Each release includes the 2004 digitally remastered version of the movie, as well as the original theatrical edition of the film.

    If only they could now release episodes one through three with remastered versions that don't feature lousy acting, shallow characters and crappy plots.

      It's the kids that ruin sequels.
      Look at The Mummy. I really liked the first one.
      So i decided to take the family to the 2nd. That god damn kid ruined the entire thing.
      Hollywood thinks that if a movie does well, making a sequel and putting an obnoxious 9 year old to bring in the kid audience must make everything even better.

      Lucas was one of the first to try this, with those god-damn Ewoks.
      He just perfected it with Ep.1

      I am waiting for a Fight Club 2 with kids beating up each other and a pg-13 rating to finally bring about the apocalypse .
