I'll probably get it too. Maybe there'll be a US release too.
Maybe there could be German releases of the 1st 2 Dollars films too - who knows?

Possibly but in the case of the first it's doubtful that'll best the italian release of the first film,which is pretty much perfect.

Could just be an uncut version of the R-rated cut new to Germany?

Would be cool if it was the Unrated version.

German cuts rarely end up being extended at all, just our normal version which is pre cut for them Gerries. It would be nice to think we may get it :D

Is there even an extended cut? Does more footage even exist? I though all cuts were the same.

Nope. :D

1 sec was cut to gain an R-rating from the MPAA.

Given the French DVD is likely a ripoff would you bother? That's such a minor alteration, if you blink you'll miss it.

Cool. If they replicate the DVD version but with HD feature and mono included I'll be happy.

I'll be getting that.
The extras are somewhat disappointing though as they all come from the DVD. As long as the specs and transfer are good.
