So if you're more of a purist from a color-timing and original soundtrack point of view, the 25 Anniversary DVD ain't half bad. You get the right color and a 5.1 track supervised by the director which does not introduce any new elements that might upset old school fans. That's pretty good for a DVD and I think the image is damn good for a disc from 1998. If a more robust soundtrack is offered on the director's cut that's great, but with this film I just have to stick with the original version. I just don't like a lot of tampering with sound like they did on JAWS and Smokey and the Bandit. I'm all for 5.1 if they do it right. Sounds like Friedkin made sure the 25th Anniversary disc was for the most part, correct.
