RIDDICK Directors Cut is Cut!
Right as strange as that seems I have just finished watching the Directors cut and suddenly is dawned on me! certain parts I saw in the cinema were not in this version! little bits here and there I do remember seeing in the cinema version just aint in this Directors cut in any way.
and then I started watching the pathetic extras (really a crap dvd! why did they bother) and in among the crap extras is a special effects doc and in there is a sequence cut from the Directors cut, its the one where they have to close the shutters on Crematorium as the Inferno approaches.
So apart from that evidence, what else was cut from the Theatrical version of the film and is missing from the Directors cut?
as I dont like them cutting scenes from films and surley they are going to do another dvd in a year or so as this one is crap! nice picture and sound, but apart from that not much else
I couldnt find any talk of this in any other thread, but sure someone will tell me if its been talked about

There is nothing in the name "Director's Cut" that implies that it will only entail ADDED footage. I've seen Director's Cuts which were actually shorter than the theatrical version.

Yes I know that, but I didnt know they had cut anything
now I want to find out how much was cut? if thats possable, as I am sure someone will know and will have compared both as thats what come people do
I could always buy the theatrical cut as well or just go for the super Japanese dvd with both cuts and DTS

Thank You for seeing the missing scenes too....I thought I was just imagining things. I can clearly recall a different scene on the ship bound for crematoria where Riddick says something about how he could break free from the restraints but will just go along for the ride to his destination.

outer-edge,
I saw the film in theaters (I thought it was the perfect summer movie, entertaining all the way through) and i just watched the DC last night, and between the 2, I prefer the DC because it really made the story (or to me anyways) more intersting and it added a new little storyline to the movie as well.
Thats my two cents anyways,

My friend and I are trying to figure out if all Furions have night vision or is it just Riddick (who apparently got it somewhere but lied about how it was done)
Does anyone have any info about this?

I really don't remember the theatrical well enough for a detailed comparison. But the DC seems to flesh out a little more of the story, and the fight scenes have a little extra 'oomph' to them - Riddick pulls a nice little Gladiator move on a Necro's head.

Lots of little things were cut. Vin's line in the beginning (stupid line as he tosses some guy out of that ship).
The last shot of the movie from the theatrical cut is gone, replaced by just Vin on the throne saying "you keep what you kill". I'm sure there's lots of little omissions throughout.
As said, DC don't mean everything there. Blade Runner deleted the entire voiceover. Alien DC is shorter than the original. So on.

You mean they don't sweep the floor for any cut footage and tape it on to the regular film to make it longer for the sake of being longer?

You lot have me now and I may also get the theatrical cut as I miss some of the scenes, and I wonder if that means the listed amount of footage put back in the film is wrong as they cut some to make way for it?
also the way the new footage was insterted at times was distracting, I am not sure I have seen a film jump before footage was added into a film before, at least they tacked on that beginning intro to explain it or I would have thought my dvd was buggered.
