Features the 1984 movie version (137min.) as well as the 1988 P&S TV cut (189min.) as broadcast on NBC.
Note: in the additional scenes, the Fremen do not have blue eyes after the spice made him evolve. The artifical effect was not applied on cut scenes!

Lovely box set that contains both David Lynch's theatrical cut of the science fiction epic, and the later TV expansion assembled without his approval (credited to Alan Smithee).
Theatrical cut is letterboxed with a picture transfer that is dated by current standards, but for many years was the only way to see the movie in widescreen. TV version is panned & scanned (does not exist in any other format) with subtitles in the picture.
The box holds the theatrical cut in its own gatefold jacket, and the TV cut in two standard jackets. Also includes a booklet with a chapter listing and text about the movie (in Japanese).
The only video supplement is the film's theatrical trailer.
