"The Deer Hunter" (1978), starring Robert De Niro, is a powerful drama about how the Vietnam War affected some blue-collar Pennsylvanians. The movie was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won five, including Best Picture and Best Director. It ranks 79th on AFI's list of the 100 Greatest American Films.
The Legacy Series Edition DVD of "The Deer Hunter" is a two-disc set containing a digitally remastered version of the feature film with completely restored audio.
The DVD set provides an audio commentary track featuring the movie's cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond and film journalist Bob Fisher. The only other bonus material of any consequence consists of 17 minutes of deleted and extended scenes. Since the feature film and audio commentary track are fully contained on Disc 1 of the DVD set, Disc 2 has very little on it.
