It’s a treat to experience such a carefully crafted film in it’s ultimate home theater edition.
The are over two hours of revealing and mostly fascinating bonus including:

The extras alone make it worth the price. This visceral and entertaining film is certainly worthy of the home library.
It’s gratifying to see studios making some effort to transfer a select few of their older and better looking movies to the higher definition format. Now when will we get great-looking films like El Cid (alrady restored under eh urging Martin Scorcese)?
