Thanks Salty.

I'm tempted to get Predator but I think I'll wait for the SE. I don't care about getting all the extras but I do resent it being bare-bones, even the commentary would be enough. I got Die Hard and Speed for this reason.

I will get Enter the Dragon though. I've been meaning to pick that one up.

"Includes the international version", what does that mean? I'm guessing it doesnt have the TC

(I've never actually seen that).

Enter the Dragon right?

Think about it Grim next time. What cut do you reckon Warner have released? Did you really expect it to "suddenly" be the Original Theatrical Cut? ALL the Warner DVDs have been the International Cut. Why would this be any different?

You know exactly what cut, the International Cut is

.

All right, its very likely to be the 1998 version, but I've never heard that referred to as the "international cut"

To call the extended ENTER an "international cut" would be inaccurate so I understand Grim's confusion. The only place it was released like that was Asia. Everywhere else got the standard theatrical cut. FTR: the US BD is the extended cut with audio remixed. More's the pity.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Sep 2008, 22:31

How do you mean remixed? It's the standard DD5.1 also found on the DVDs, except it's a higher bitrate. Oh, unless you mean it's the same remix, got it.

Now I think about it. I've never heard it called that before either but I'm sure we can assume it's the same cut Warner have only ever released on DVD. Ask Salty, he has it.

Has there ever been anything on why Warner decided to release the Extended Cut on DVD/BD? I presume their Video was the Theatrical Cut?

Warner aren't calling it an International Cut:

Blame Tower.com

Fair point, my mistake.

Yes.

Because they're idiots only interested in marketing.

Any VHS released before 1998.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 23 Sep 2008, 09:47

Better hunt down an old US VHS then

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 23 Sep 2008, 16:13

Or laserdisc for anyone who can play them.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Sep 2008, 19:54

Or do what Romero did, buy the laser disc "because it looks nice"

. I'm sure it was Romero who bought the T2 laser disc.

Where is Romero these days?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 23 Sep 2008, 21:32

Pointless buying the LD if I cant play it

Yeah I wonder, where are Romero, Slasher, Kurgan, Bruce etc?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 23 Sep 2008, 22:02

Romero has moved into Paul W.S. Anderson's exclusive love nest in California where they share obscure laughs and sweaty man love by an open fire. They met on a Liberace appreciation forum and I wish them well. I believe they're planning to adopt an African orphan or two. Bless.

Slasher went out for his usual Friday Night Stalk 'n' Slash session back in June and fell on his own rusty machette. A horrible end I'm sure you'll agree. The irony is he tripped over a discarded hockey mask. The Police found an autographed collection of Friday the 13th DVDs (as well as a trunk of severed teenage heads) and put two and two together.

Bruce finally had enough of this decadent western society and moved to his spiritual home in China to become a Shaolin Monk. He was doing quite well until the Abbot to him "no meat" and the fat bastard ran out screaming into the forest. Bruce was last seen wrestling a Panda for its food - he lost.
