I only have the old release of the theatrical cut. This will be an easy film to upgrade for myself - easily the best Guy Ritchie film.

The extended cut had some real rough footage in it, so I wonder how good this could possibly look.
Was just at Amazon and I'd missed this thread here about it (or forgotten), and I saw the cover there: http://www.amazon.com/Lock-Stock-Smoking-Barrels-Blu-ray/dp/B002QZ2DPW/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_i I notice it doesn't say that it's the longer cut and the listing says 108 minutes (long cut should be 120). Hmmmm...
I also wish they'd port the five-part documentary available everywhere else in the world and include the featurette (even if it sucks) from the original USA Films release.

Yep. I remember being so disappointed with Snatch, since it was just a remake of Lock, Stock.

This is one of the few movies where I prefer the theatrical cut.
The extended cut scenes actually make the story more contrived and symmetrical. I prefer the more chaotic theatrical cut as it suits the style of the film.
Saying that, we should be given both cuts of the film to choose from. Looks like I'll be keeping my R2 Directors Cut DVD as an extras disc to the BD.

Snatch was absolutely a remake with a bigger budget - one that I did not prefer (though I still enjoyed). The only thing that still stands out to me about Snatch is Brad Pitt's performance in it.
So as for this Blu-ray release - has it been confirmed what cut is being included? I'd like it if they included both as I've only ever seen the theatrical cut, want to see the extended version, and on the off chance the director's cut is actually weaker I'd like to be able to choose between the two.
