Ciao everyone! I know this question may be premature since the set was released today but I'm taking my chances with the esteemed members of Gangster BB. So here goes...does the restoration DVD set include the saga extra footage as part of the movies or as an extra feature? This is my sister's favorite movie and her possible Christmas present depending on the answer to this question. She loves the saga version of the movies but does not want it on VHS. Can anyone enlighten me on this question? My sincerest thanks for any info you share with me! Arrivederci!

Unfortunately, no, it only contains the 3 theatrical releases + 4 hours of bonus content. One of these days, I hope!, but as of a few years ago there were no plans to release the Saga to DVD...

Thank you Don for your words of wisdom! I guess I'll have to pick another present for her.

Is it worth buying Geoff?

Why buy Geoff when you can rent him for a few hours?

You've been a member of these boards for five years and you ask that question??

You're assuming the studio wanted to improve the movies. Aside from cleaning up (slightly) the original prints, they didn't do anything else. You get the same wrong information on the timeline (from the original DVD set); you get mis-labelled "extras" disks; you get the same cheaply attached info page on the back of the DVD box (one small dab of glue at the top of the page).

Considering all the money that these three movies made the studio and FFC, this release is really a sham. No doubt they'll have a re-release for the 40th anniversary, etc.
