what company is releasing this one, and what are the chances of forced French subs?

OMG! Yes! I was just thinking about this movie a few nights and was wondering when they were going to get around to releasing it.

Now hopefully they won't mess with it with those damn forced subs!

Fox is releasing it in France, so you will not have forced french subs on the english track. And it will be the european cut with the J. Goldsmith score

So the European cut is the same as the Director's cut - is it J. Goldsmith AND Tangerine Dream?

TD's track is by far..far..far superior!!!!

And I have only seen 1 of those many years ago.
I wasn't impressed with it back then but am really interested right now in giving it another chance.

I only would buy this when it's on Blu-Ray and has AT LEAST the American and the director's cut.

+1
Jerry is the MAN! I grew up with the TD score since that's what was released when I was younger, but when the later collectors DVD came out with Jerry's unreleased score, I quickly warmed up to it and now have the soundtrack
