Re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27

Wasn't the unrated version just a digitally enhanced version of the theatrical cut?

The unrated cut of Die Hard 4 adds back in a lot of profanity that was dubbed out in the PG-13 theatrical cut.

As for the violence, the unrated cut has more, but it seems to be more in terms of longer shots and/or additional shots showing additional violence that was shot, but cut out in the theatrical. Some shots may have been digitally altered, but it's not clear if they were altered to add violence to the unrated, or were originally altered to remove violence for the theatrical.

This site has pretty in-depth coverage of all the differences between the two versions:

IIRC, the blood was added digitally later for the Unrated cut.

I don't care about that, but I do get annoyed at the dubbed over curse words that you can clearly make out lips moving out of sync.

Saw this in the theater and it looked ridiculous, like a japanese monster movie with the bad dubs

I'm hoping that as well - I already have Misfits and Some Like it Hot and have no interest in Show Business, so I'd rather pay $40 for the other four than $75 for all seven.

I almost jumped on this too, until a little investigation revealed that it was 6 movies (all but Existenz are crap) on 2 blu rays & the PQ is no better than the dvd.

Well I called that wrong- we got our wish- they're all under $10 at Wal-mart so Amazon might just drop their price before the week is out.

It figures Seven Year Itch would drop the day after my pre-order shipped. No dice on my email request for the 99 cent adjustment.

I don't get it. I thought their policy was you get a price match up tp release day. You should try another representative by email or phone.
