Hopefully it's an unrated edition or similar that has more than 3 seconds of the scene that everyone was on about.
 
Got a lot of viewings when I was a teenager. Also remember it being a fun, twisty, B movie. Happily check it out again.

The 4K disc is missing the stereo track, yet another QC issue at Arrow.
 
Is there an announcement/replacement programme at Arrow for it? I can only see one for Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

This is an interesting one - lots of discussion over at the other place that there was no original stereo track: the original theatrical soundtrack was 5.1. Other releases had a downmixed 2.0 track because back in the day many people didn't have surround systems, but the 5.1 included on this disc was the only original surround mix the film had.

However this can't be fully confirmed.....so who knows.....and even if that is the case, it still means its a snafu but on the packaging rather than on disc. Continued shoddy QC work nonetheless.....but I'd be very surprised if this turned out to be a legit error that warranted a replacement programme.

Thanks, that's good to know. I guess I'll keep an eye on the thread at the other forums and see how it goes, if it's just a packaging error and there's no missing/borked soundtrack I'm not too fussed seeing as the original theatrical is 5.1; all's well if that hasn't been tampered with.
 
There's actually a Wild Things 2, made in 2004. I haven't seen it but by all accounts it's a pretty bad DTV movie with none of the original cast and crew.
