Overview of latest BTTF DVD features
Differences between domestic & international editions more apparent
As the international edition continues to be released this fall accross the world, fan interest in the domestic version of the Back to the Future Trilogy DVD set and its exclusive features grows daily.
Not a day goes by now where I am not quizzed about the upcoming U.S. DVD boxed set and its features. As we have all followed the course of events over this release for the last five years, confusion still lingers high as to what exactly fans can expect this December. In an attempt to give my fingers a rest from answering hundreds of emails on the same topic, I've decided to put together a definitive list of features for both sets.
The following list of features is comprised of information I've previously gathered through various sources. There may be a few changes to this list, but as of this writing, I believe you can depend on this being the most inclusive you'll find anywhere:
