An insider has already confirmed that the original soundtrack has been restored (as well as the original artwork)
Now if only we'll get the extra reels of violence that were trimmed out for home market releases...

sounds good, but they'd want to forward the release date if they want to mount a proper special edition release.
shareThe internet has been buzzing with pleas from fans for the censored/missing footage since Shout announced it, so I bet they'll try. Can't wait to see what they come up with as they're likely the film's last and only hope.
shareRelease looks like it's been pushed back to July, but Shout has confirmed that the omitted songs will be re-inserted. Yay for purists!

Release date has been pushed back to October 18th.

The fact that this keeps getting pushed back is hopefully good news, and with a bit of luck it indicates that we might be in for something a bite more special than just the standard (music restored) release. Here's hoping.
shareAccording to Amazon I'll have my copy by Aug 1. So we shall see. I hope so

But of course what that list does NOT include is the Holy Grail of NIGHT HAWKS extras and the only thing anybody cares about, which is a restoration of the deleted footage.
That footage exists somewhere. It has to- the movie isn't all that old. But finding it means getting the right people to kick open the right doors.
I'd say 35 years is a very long time for a film like this. It's not as if it won Oscars or was deemed of cultural historical importance. For all anyone knows the deleted scenes may have been thrown out with the trash 20 years ago.

shareIs the last sequence(no spoilers!!!)finally intact or is it the same edited version?I am asking since I saw no reference in any thread about the situation with the finale of the film in this Shout! release.It's one of the ruined scenes everybody was talking about.
