I would definitely double-dip on this one. Norton was amazing in it... (not that this is a reason for another purchase, but I would buy another release with different/more extras)

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the director disown this movie? I'm guessing he's probably not going to have anything to do with any SE or bonus material.

Hard to think such an eye opening movie gets the shaft from being treated as a SE and/or director's cut. A director's cut is well deserved. Didn't the studio hold some scenes back because they thought they were too graphic or whatever. So now that we're all immune or at least don't uncontrollably twitch at the thought of a curb bite or shower raping, I believe we're ready for a director's cut! Plus an upgrade from a snapper case isn't bad either.

Its well known or rumored that the dir cut is actually shorter than the theatrical cut. now, being that i dont think the story is as fleshed out as it could be, how would a dir. cut help things?

The current version is perfect as it is, don't push it too far. The movie is graphic as it is, and unless you're stupid, most people got the point and imagined what norton did at the curb scene and received at the shower scene. Now, if you're still not satisfied and wanted more, go watch Irreversible or Salo a couple dozen times to fulfill your sick hunger.

I liked mine to...until mine suffered DVD rot. I thought it was a myth until it happened to my disc.
I am gonna try & pick up another one soon. You may want to check yours if you haven't in a while. I got my copy soon after it was first released.

According to the studio (so that it with a grain of salt), Tony never finished the movie. He was coniously doing reshoot after reshoot. Finally, they lost patience, took control away from him, and put together the best release that they thought that they could using the finished footage.
If they are to believed, there never was a finished "director's cut", just a bunch of rough cuts.

I own the current version and do not see anything wrong with it. The transfers ok and its 16:9. Deleted scenes, trailers, ect.
If you are asking for a Director's Cut then that is something different...

But in the meantime if you want a better movie with a similar topic check out Romper Stomper. It's a little ditty Russell Crowe did before selling out.
