Hmm... that looks like the VHS cover. As far as I recall, there were two editions of Ed Wood on DVD. The first being recalled and the 2nd that is available now. Both have the same covers except on the spine, the recalled was grey and the current black.

I seem to remember the Ed Wood DVD being "pushed back" twice, the second time units had already shipped and had to be recalled. And I think the only difference is the removal of the deleted scene where Bela refers to "Those bastards at Universal".

Did a search and it's listed at dvdaficianado:
http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.ht...x=36&y=10&rg=A
I also found on an internet search the original release date for it was August 13th 2002.
So this ranks as the 1st recalled one, right?
Can anyone find a back cover of this version?

People are getting confused about the OP's request.
The most recent release of Ed Wood was recalled once and then re-released without the cross-dressing doc.
However, a (bare-bones?) release was scheduled a year or two before that -- with the cover shown above -- and recalled at the last minute. A few of them did get out -- legit copies were once fetching a pretty penny on eBay.

UPC 786936072815 "Special Edition" was originally scheduled for 08/02/2002 (Canceled after a few made it out to customers before the street date). This came out again 10/19/2004 with the same UPC, and has been discontinued. It was re-released (UPC: 786936212501) 09/06/2005 (this is the most current version floating about).
UPC 786936212501 "Special Edition" scheduled for 02/03/2004 was "recalled".

the more recent recalled ed wood is still appearing on shelves at best buy al the time.
there are 2 versions one has a silver spine one has a black.
i think the silver spine is the recalled version.
btw the doc is reported to be on the new after recall version as a vob file that can be found on a computer that has a dvd drive.

I have the version that was recalled. I'd heard rumors that some were floating around on store shelves so I went on a quest to find it. Finally found a copy at an FYE and snatched it up. I don't have the re-released version to compare it with though so I'm not 100% sure of the difference.

As for the OP's question, let me address that: The DVD you have an image was released before the new one with the silver and black cover. It did not have the deleted scenes and other documentary's included in the new DVD. It is very rare as only a very few got out.

So the 1st recalled version before the other 2 recalled and non-recalled special edition's (w/ silver, and black spines) is apparently impossible to locate for a collector like myself. Yikes.
That version must at the very least be worth lots of $$$ now.
If anybody has it can you please post a scan, I want to check it out. I mean the very 1st bare bones version, non special edition. But the odds are bad that somebody here does.
Anybody know how many got out of the non-SE version of Ed Wood?
Also, there seems to be some confusion here, the version I am talking about is Buena Vista's original release of the film.

That very first release may be very scarce and only a few got out, but considering it's now basically obsolete since a better version has replaced it, I don't think many people are seeking it out.

Re: Ed Wood DVD 1st recalled version......
It won’t let me upload it but I have an original from before the recall with the doc on it. It was never featured on the back. Email me if you want to see a photo. [email protected].
