: : For all those who thought the last director's cut really sucked, what with the horrible picture quality and abscence of some scenes (looking at Vincent), Anchor Bay is trying to make it up to you. Michael Mann oversaw the making of this version and approved the transfer, it has a commentary with Mann, and it has some deleted and alternate scenes. I just hope its as good as it sounds. It comes out Tuesday, who all is getting it?
: It was a director's cut, for God's sake.
Mann cut the director's cut himself, a long time ago (or, at least, approved it), but he had nothing to do with the transfer of it (which was, apparently, the "best they could do", though that doesn't seem true), or the DVD itself, because he was making 'Ali'.
