The first commentary the director mentioned a few scenes w/ Jigsaw in the beginning but didnt say much else. I hope its more than a scene or two.

I am not so sure about that cover art, but I was expecting this release and will be picking it up for sure. Here's hoping they are released with free Saw 3 tickets.

Maybe BB or someone will do a blood cover exclusive like they did for Hills earlier this year. One thing that I want to know... Will SAW II Uncut be 1.85 or the cropped 1.78 as the first release?

I'm a sucker for this series, so count me in. Here's hoping the "Uncut" edition has more than 25 new seconds in it.

I know the one scene he mentioned he cut with Jigsaw was when the SWAT team first arrives in the factory and sees him, Jigsaw is eating a bowl of Cheerios.

I don't care, I'll double dip even if it is a few seconds longer. I'm a huge fan of the series, plus the new one has a DTS track.

I never listened too the full directors commentaries on either version of Saw. So I have to ask, why would a director do a commentary to two versions of a film? Won't they just cover the same information with a tiny bit of additional feedback?

It seems abit pointless to do two commentaries a year apart. Since it's not like the film is years old and they're now reflecting back on it again.

I know if I were a director,I would not be so into commenting on the film again at length so close to the previous commentary.

But I might get it,I might not. It all depends on if a free ticket is offered and if their is a decent amount of gruesome content added. Though I think the gore cuts will be pretty small like in the original Saw. Since the director mentioned very minor trims were made much to his surprise before it earned an R rating.

Without the key, that cover art is LAME.

I guess they should have a blood pack with a key floating around in it instead of a saw. There you go Lionsgate so get to it.

I'm wondering if it will really be Uncut, or just a Director's Cut like the last one. I think the studios just like the word uncut too much, because uncut implies nothing cut, and the uncut version of the first one was actually a few seconds shorter than the theatrical, and apparently some stuff was put back in but some was taken out. So, it was a Director's Cut, not Uncut.

thats not 100% true, the uncut version is the version that premiered at sundance. apparently the movie was going to be direct to video but lions gate put it in theaters, minus a few seconds and color timed differently, thanks to the mpaa.
