Wow, what a MAJOR disappointment, considering the original film is considered a classic. I liked the new extended scenes but the MUSIC ruined this film! It turned into an Elvis-fest, with the Elvis music chosen by Coppola as being totally inappropriate for most scenes. It seemed a scene could not go by without some Elvis track. Two glaring examples of this? The rumble----the music changed into a light, fast paced tune that someone would buy groceries to, and likewise when Dallas (Matt Dillon) gets killed and shot down by the cops.

Unbelievable mistakes by Coppola, ruining a classic movie with an ill-fitting musical score. I have yet to see the special features, the making of it and whatnot, but the extended movie was butchered by the music.
