    Special Features
    Disc One includes audio commentary with director Milos Forman and producers Michael Douglas and Saul Zaentz, cast and crew filmographies, and an awards list. Disc Two includes a 47-minute chaptered making-of documentary, eight additional scenes, and the theatrical trailer. Unfortunately, the Continue selection on the first menu page of Disc Two leads you to believe that there are more features, when you just come to a DVD credits page.

      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the novel by Ken Kesey,

    DVD Picture:
    This new anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits a considerably cleaner picture with sharper images when compared to the previously released non-anamorphic DVD. Colors appear to be better saturated, with more natural fleshtones. Contrast is much higher, though brighter backgrounds and windows tend to appear blown out. There is also a noticeable lack of finer details on the new DVD, like the grids on the windows in the hospital or even tree branches disappear, but are fully discernable on the older version, which could be related to the overuse of digital video noise reduction. Edge enhancement can be a problem, and pixelization is occasionally noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #78 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR to stay at the forefront of the home theatre industry, to help me find products to fit my needs, and to read about products that I dream about one day owning.
