The release contains a slightly different cut of the film from the theatrical release and the previous DVD release. The run time is slightly longer, due to extra footage and different takes being inserted into scenes. Some of the footage comes from extra or alternate footage seen on ABC-TV broadcasts of the film; some of it added specifically for this release. At least one line of the extra footage ties directly to a scene from {{film|4}}, helping to make the continuity between the movies that much more cohesive.
