5.0 out of 5 starsThis new special edition "Stays Gold"
By Cubist on September 20, 2005
Format: DVD
Coppola's original version was quite faithful to Hinton's book and this new edit is even more so. He has put back in 22 more minutes, most noticeably at the beginning and end of the movie. This new footage opens up the film more. We are introduced to the greasers much earlier on now that Coppola isn't reigned in by the dictates of test screenings. He is able to take the time to immerse the audience in this richly textured world shot in glorious widescreen by Stephen Burum who adopts a look that evokes another epic about troubled youth, Rebel Without A Cause (1955). The film is drenched in the golden hues of warm sunrises and sunsets like something right out of Gone with the Wind (1939).

Another significant change has Coppola replacing all of his father's beautiful, classical score in favour of period rock `n' roll music. In some cases, like the opening scene where Ponyboy is jumped by some Socs, it works and in others, like the whimsical surf music that plays over the scene where the Socs jump Johnny and Ponyboy, it feels awkward and out of place. Part of the film's original charm was its moments of `50s style melodrama, as epitomized by the film's orchestral soundtrack, and this diminished by the newly inserted period music that could be right out of an episode of Crime Story. Hinton's books are timeless with their universal themes and the original music reflected that. This new music, while accurate for its time period, contributes to a loss of some of the timeless feel.

On the first DVD is an audio commentary with director Francis Ford Coppola. He addresses the changes in the soundtrack by saying that after all these years he wanted to move away from a score that commented on what was happening to music that the characters would actually be listening to.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsExtended Edition
By 80's Girl on August 28, 2005
Format: DVD
I'm so glad they decided to put out a Two-Disc Special Edition. This movie is well worth it and now we get to see the deleted scenes we've been waiting for. I hope the rest of the 80's classics get this treatment. It's awesome that Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe and Diane Lane all made a commentary segment for this DVD, the only bad thing is Tom and Emilio aren't in the commentary.

Just watched my Copy of THE OUTSIDERS---

Wow. This was so freakin' awesome you guys. There is 22 extra minutes added to the movie and 10 additional deleted scenes as special features. For the people who were disappointed in the movie because it lacked scenes from the book you have got to buy this edition. All of the scenes are added to the movie like I previously said. The special features are outstanding as well. They show a reunion at Francis Ford Coppola 's house screening the new extended movie with Diane Lane, C. Thomas Howell, Patrick Swayze and Ralph Macchio. There are cast interviews and a special with S. E. Hinton talking about the book and the movie. She also shows the places the movie took place. Like the movie theater, the school, the brothers house and the street Dallas was killed. There's much more extra's, so enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 starsWhat a classic!
By missy99 on February 27, 2006
Format: DVD
I loved the Outsiders when it first came out - it is so campy, but it is truly a classic movie. The cast is simply amazing, with a lot of future heavy hitters. The special features on this DVD are truly amazing, and long overdue!

Now, the reason why I did not give this DVD five stars - the music! Why did Coppola get rid of the beautiful score from the original movie and replace it with that god-awful music? Perhaps that music worked in a FEW scenes, but for the most part, it really tended to minimize some of the more dramatic parts in the movie. The new music did not work for me at all.

1.0 out of 5 starsMusical Travesty
By J. Kaden on November 30, 2005
Format: DVD
I don't know if you could find a bigger fan of the original version of this film than me. I watched it almost every day growing up and can still repeat every line as I watch it today. I was so excited to see it on DVD but the movie was 100% spoiled by the new soundtrack. I am STUNNED at how many reviewers have said it is an improvement and how Coppola could have done this and thought it was good. The new music completely changes the tone of the entire film and removes all of the tension, drama and tragedy that are at the center of this movie. To replace the emotional soundtrack at key moments like the murder of the Soc, the rumble and Dally's run from the law with chipper surfer tunes is so confusing and jarring that I am no longer able to enjoy the film. This is a travesty and should never have been messed with - where can I find a VHS copy?

1.0 out of 5 starsRuined by new Score
By Brian Callahan on August 20, 2011
Format: DVD
I was stunned by the horrible new score to this film. I hadn't seen the film in years, and I kept thinking, "Man, this music is terrible. Has it always been like this?" It sounds like a cheesy Pulp Fiction ripoff, and has no relation to the drama that's on the screen. Scenes I knew I had been moved by years ago now had no emotional resonance at all, particularly the rumble. Wow. The new music literally ruined this film, and I cannot fathom why FFC wouldn't recognize that.

5.0 out of 5 starsMy Comparison: Original (5 starts); Revised (3 stars)
By Andrew Raker VINE VOICE on December 7, 2011
Format: DVD
*Because Amazon does not distinguish between reviews for the original cut and the revised cut of The Outsiders, this review discusses both cuts.

Many differences exist between the original cut of The Outsiders and the revised cut. However, the most profound difference is the dramatic change of tone in the revised. The original cut, through its classic music (used sporadically) creates a melancholic tone. For me, the classic music makes me think about class conflict and highlights the deep friendship between Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade. The classic music score is always appropriate in setting this mood. Furthermore, the classic music score is more intelligent and emotional than the revised, which makes the film far more relatable to people like me, who are not very interested in 60s rock and roll music or most films very popular to 21st century teenagers of lower social classes. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer classic music.

In contrast, the revised cut, by employed 60s period music including songs like "My Hair is a Mess" when Ponyboy and Johnny are giving one another haircuts, alters the tone and creates a light mood, almost as though Ponyboy and Johnny are enjoying cutting one another's hair and causing the other pain, which is a stark contrast to the original. The original cut, by not playing music during the haircut scene, highlights the loss of identity that the haircuts produce. Remember: to these young Greasers, their long, greasy hair is a substantial part of their identity and should not be downplayed by crass 60s music.

Secondly, the original cut focuses largely on the characters of Ponyboy and Johnny, with some time given to Dally.Read more ›
