Is there any info on whether or not MGM will release a special edition of this movie. All I have is the VHS and I don't wanna get the DVD until there is a special edition. If not than what should come out on a SE is:

Commentary by The Director alongside John Cafferty
Commentary by Michael Pare and the Cruesers
Deleted Scenes
A Making OF Documentary and/or Retrospective
Trailer and TV Spots
Jump to a Song Scene(Like New Lines Jump to a Death)
New and Old interviews with the Director, John Cafferty and cast
Evolution of Eddie and the Cruesers (documentary on the success of the series)
CD Soundtrack included.

Also a Box Set with Eddie and the Cruesers 2 in it.

Look at my Eddie 2 message board

That all sounds awesome one more thing would be if they could also give location sopts also in the commentary and the Original soundtrack not that newer one.I have the record but don't play it for fear of scratches.Give us what we want MGM.

words and music....

That's pretty good, but I wouldn't mind a commentary track by the Cruisers(Tom Berenger, so on for part 1, and for part 2's Cruisers) also the Eddie Soundtrack with Lyric Exerts or at least a Skip to a Song feature(like Skip to a Death feature for New Line)
