8 Seconds

John G. Avildsen's biopic of rodeo legend Lane Frost, 8 Seconds, comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer and filmographies of the cast and crew. This is a solid release from New Line, although clips of the real Frost in action would have added a great deal to this package.
