So it's the same release as the previous MGM R2 two disc except with the addition of "Going to Pieces" added?

which is a very good documentary. As for the feature film commentary: ugh, simply horrid.

Well, I already have Going to Pieces, but I've been waiting for a decent version of this film to surface in the UK or USA. I think I'll probably pick up this one.

i just saw this at DVDEmpire, but i really would like this in an R1...is that likely?

[asianxcore]

I already have the R1, but I might upgrade this based on the features and rad cover art.

I believe Anchor Bay put out the R2 UK 2-Disc. That release was cut I believe by around 30 seconds, but the R1 release was not. This is literally the first time the film will be released in the UK fully uncut (which I believe the R1 disc is).

Well, no - the last UK edition still had cuts in the film. This looks to be the first time the UK is getting the US cut.
