Scope the full list of bonus features included in this fall’s release of Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures on Blu-Ray

This September 18th, the complete adventures of Indiana Jones come to Blu-Ray in one glorious package.

The collection is set to feature “seven hours of bonus features, including nearly an hour of previously unreleased behind-the-scenes footage,” with RAIDERS having received a full restoration under the supervision of Spielberg and his sound designer Ben Burtt and TEMPLE OF DOOM/LAST CRUSADE each receiving their own remaster.

The crown jewel, so to speak, of this collection looks to be a “two-part documentary entitled ‘On Set with Raiders of the Lost Ark – From Jungle to Desert and From Adventure to Legend.’ Featuring nearly an hour of rarely seen footage from the set of the film and archival interviews with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Harrison Ford, these captivating pieces transports fans back to where the legend began.”

Before we get to the list of special features you’ll be find on each disc, here’s a more detailed explanation of what that previously mentioned “full restoration” entails exactly: “RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK has been painstakingly restored with careful attention to preserving the original look, sound and feel of the iconic film. The original negative was scanned at 4K and then examined frame-by-frame so that any damage could be repaired. The sound design was similarly preserved using Burtt’s original master mix, which had been archived and unused since 1981. New stereo surrounds were created using the original music tracks and original effects recorded in stereo but used previously only in mono. In addition, the sub bass was redone entirely up to modern specifications and care was taken to improve dialogue and correct small technical flaws to create the most complete and highest quality version of the sound possible while retaining the director’s vision.”

And so, without further ado, I present to you the mostly-recycled-but-slightly-revamped-and-added-to list of specifications and special features for INDIANA JONES: THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES BLU-RAY.
