The Dabney Coleman 80's kid classic Cloak and Dagger makes its long-awaited widescreen bow to DVD thanks to Universal Home Entertainment. With no menus or special features, the disc is devoid of anything special besides an anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen picture and Dolby Digital 2.0 sound. Picture quality is extremely uneven with severe grain marking some scenes, while others look to be solid with slightly evident edge enhancements. Fans of the film might buy it simply for the widescreen enticement, though don't expect anything more. This is definitely one that Universal will need to revisit down the line.

After multiple heartbreaking delays, John Carpenter's classic Escape From New York arrives on DVD shores in MGM's packed two-disc Special Edition Collector's Set. In addition to the new and stunning high-definition transfer, the release is packed with extras for which film fans have been salivating for years. Technically, the film looks brilliant in its anamorphic 16 x 9 enhanced 2.35:1 widescreen picture. Additionally, audio options have been tweaked and given a face-lift, with the disc's 5.1 Dolby Digital track finally doing justice to the director's trademark synth score. Bonus features begin with the long-awaited audio commentary with Kurt Russell and John Carpenter, originally recorded for the long out-of-print 1994 laserdisc. Also supplied is a brand-new track with producer Debra Hill and production designer Joe Alves. Both commentaries are lengthy in their detail of the film. Fans of Russell and Carpenter's other commentaries should be happy with this earlier session, even if it doesn't live up to the banter-filled fun of Big Trouble in Little China or Universal's The Thing discs. Another big deal extra-wise is the full deleted original bank robbery opening of the film, something that's only been glimpsed on past VHS and laserdisc releases. Here it is presented in full, with complete opening credits and an optional star/director commentary track to go along with it. Endlessly interesting and surprisingly lengthy, the scene lives up to its hype, now aided by the help of a new score penned by Carpenter himself for better presentation. Disc two's special features include the brand-new "Return to Escape From New York" featurette, containing new interviews with Carpenter, Hill, and Russell; bits from Adrienne Barbeau, Isaac Hayes, and Harry Dean Stanton; along with thoughts from screenwriter Nick Castle and cinematographer Dean Cundey. Covering all aspects of the production, this 23-minute making-of is a behind-the-scenes treat that delves into everything from the political climate from which the Snake Plissken character was born to the Steadicam work and film process that helped create Escape From New York's definitive look. With liner notes from the director himself, plus three different trailers and an immense photo gallery to boot, you are left with an ultimate DVD release that is truly worthy of the film. The Collector's Set also contains a sized-down copy of the Snake Plissken Chronicles comic and a side-show featurette on its step-by-step production, chronicling the various stages of the creators' writing and artwork.
