Menace II Society Diector's Cut
I watched the Menace II Society Director's Cut and there were 2 scenes I don't remember being in the original but maybe I just didn't remember them.
Were these scenes in the theatrical cut?
Thanks

Re: Menace II Society Diector's Cut
Here are the differences between the dvd and the criterion laserdisc:
Here is also something of interest :
The Hughes brothers, when queried about the film's explicit content, have often talked about a "prison riot" scene that studio execs forced them to cut in order to avoid an NC-17 rating. The scene has yet to appear in any of the released versions of the film.

Really liked this film when i saw it 17 years ago or whatever.
Jada Pinkett was nice to look at as a bonus.

yeah, this an Dead Presidents are two of my favorite films from the 90s. I've heard of that riot scene, would definitely be interesting to see.
Now release Dead Presidents anamorphic.

I haven't watched my bluray of the movie yet but I know that on the Criterion laserdisc, one of the brothers talks about the scenes that were trimmed at the request of the MPAA, but of course they are pretty obvious what those scene are.

I still need to pick this D-Cut up. Had a few friends who were "bangin" back then and the violence in this sure made them flinch.
She seemed taller back then. But that's probably because there was no Will Smith at the time to constantly tower over her.

Just bought the "director's cut". Have not watched yet, but was disappointed to learn from another website that there is only about 30 seconds of additional footage.
Seems like a gip. Not sure why they don't include the prison riot scenes that have never been seen.

[QUOTE=Why So Blu?;12571180]The 30-seconds of extra footage are all violence related. Entry/exit wounds and blood splatter. It was released like that on LD from Criterion years ago and now the Blu-ray. It's no gip.[/QUOTE
And it's interesting to see how this version was NC-17 back in the day and cut to an R, and now the uncensored version is rated R.
