Days of Thunder

Tony Scott re-teams with Top Gun star Tom Cruise in the car racing film Days of Thunder, which comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles, but both English soundtracks are closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include the trailer. The picture and sound quality of this disc are strong, but the lack of extras makes the high list price difficult to swallow.
