This a fine piece of work from John Landis, one of my all time favourites and probley John Landis best work.

Cut Footage

When this movie was made a scene had to be cut, but good news the scene was restored for the Dvd release, if like to know what was cut, the scene is in the porn theater, The only one that was really noticeable was the cinema scene where a bobby shines his torch on the gutted corpse - the modified scene deleted the shot of the disembowelled corpse and cut straight from flashlight to werewolf.

Picture

This transfer is presented in an aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is 16x9 enhanced. Sadly, the overall quality of the transfer average

Sound

This is a good audio transfer, and generally supports the film quite nicely.

There are only two audio tracks available, English in 5.1 Dolby Digital, and a commentary track presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 surround.
