Shout use the masters universal give them same with criterion (mostly)

So did Anchor Bay when they had it, save for Campbell's video copy. But, I know a guy who knows a guy (yeah, one of those) who used to work at AB during that period. He claims that, back when they were producing their Limited Edition, AB contacted DeLaurentiis studios about additional footage and the Director's Cut and were told no material was available. And, that they were shocked (and a bit angry) when it popped-up for MGM's release.

I can't see a company like Shout just sticking to Universal sources if they know others are available which they may be able to garner...assuming the price is right.
