Sam Kinison: Unleashed! (January 09) Same Extras From the Previous Release?

Not too long ago, I was able to snag the "Sam Kinison: In Your Face Pack" for about $35 brand new. However, I just learned that a different company is releasing "Sam Kinison: Unleashed!" which features the same 2 main concerts plus *apparently* new extras of some kind. Does anyone know if this new edition will have the audio commentaries and whatnot from the Pioneer releases?

Just curious about whether I need to kick myself or not. Thanks!

*crickets chirp*

Wow, no one is familiar with the Sam Man around here? I didn't agree with everything he said in his act (some of it downright inhumane), but he was an indesputible comic genius and a force of nature. Chris Rock referred to him as the funniest white man he ever encountered. It was kind of neat to see Kinison clean up his act near the end of his life and remove some of the needlessly objectionable parts from his routine in "Family Entertainment Hour".

Anyhoo, I'm getting my copy next week and I'll inform you guys what's on it if you want.

LOL! Dude... you posted it at 4:35am. Most people are sleeping then. Then most people get up for work. If you can't log onto dvdtalk during work, you're not going to get an answer until at least 5pm.

I don't have an answer to your question, but I would to know what the extras are.

I'd sure like to see "Banned" put to DVD. The music videos sucked and I thought Carl LaBove was pretty terrible, but Sam's stand up portion was some of his funniest. Amazon shows Unleashed as Breaking the Rules and Family Entertainment Hour with some "never before see footage" never seen on DVD which for all we know is more of the vacation home movies they stuck on the Complete Sam Kinison Box Set.

I just got it yesterday. I can now answer the questions posed--

It does *not* have the extras from the Pioneer releases (that includes the audio commentaries by his brother).

However, what it does have extra-wise, is a 1 hour plus stand-up comedy routine videotaped sometime between "Breaking the Rules" and "Family Entertainment Hour".

And there's a "scream meter" as well...

It's pretty good deal for the price offered.

Too bad none of the releases include his Saturday Night Live stuff or his Johnny Carson appearances. I don't think they even include his Rodney Dangerfield appearances.

Has anyone ever seen his cut scenes from Three Amigos? I'd be nice if that was included on a future release, too.

Spike TV had a documentary on him last week.
