The MGM Ident and the United Artists Ident precede the feature. The MGM ident appears after the credits.

This is the U.S. theatrical version without the extra footage of Adrienne Barbeau's nude bathing scene.

The original MGM DVD released in 2000 featured the International version with the Barbeau nude scene intact. Read why it was recalled in 2002 here.

The covers for the MGM DVD's are terrible, they didn't even add the extra sentence, "Love Changed Him Even More!" to finish the tagline.

Features an anti-piracy commercial before the DVD menu. 

The sole special feature is the awesome 1982 Theatrical Trailer for Swamp Thing.

A holographic cover with different artwork was glued to the outside of the DVD case, which covers the lame DVD cover. Both covers suck though. 

This Lame holographic cover was glued to the front of the DVD case.
