This is the loudest Blu-Ray of rock and roll!

"Deleted Scenes" isn't a really good enough explanation in this case. The MGM (and Criterion) DVDs had enough "deleted scenes" to make a whole other movie. About an hour each, with some overlap.
So my question is, HOW MUCH deleted scenes? Hopefully the whole shebang, because there are some equally awesome moments that didn't make it into the movie (and a huge backstory or two).

It sounds like 90% of the special features mentioned above are on the DVD releases.

This is the first time, in the nearly quarter-century history of the Tap project, that a "creative" element--i.e., the game--has been offered to the public under our names without us having any creative input, approval, or even an advance headsup. If that's how MGM feels about the people who created this film, I'm not sure they'll be taking good care of the customers. Maybe wait for a Blu-Ray edition that's 100% Tap....
