Basic Instinct?
 
Which is the best version to get?

The one with the clear case and the ice pick?
Or the one entitled "Special Edition"?

THey seem to have the same features? Am i right? wrong?

Same disc. Only difference is packaging.

Be careful with the non-icepick verions. There are both R and Unrated copies. Get the unrated one of course.

Thanks guys

Just an FYI, some of the unrated versions have white covers --- others have silver (like mine).

the silver unrated director's cut is said to be the definitive

ScottyWH 06-07-04 06:12 PM

yeah.. there was both an R rated and an Unrated version with icepick, too (I own both).

Get the silver, unrated SE. The icepick version looks jacked up depending on how you display your dvds. Underrated flick.

Yep..get the regular keepcase version of the unrated version!!

It took me over a year until I finally found a copy of that in stores(as everyone was trying to get rid of the crappy Ice Pick edition)...but it was well worth it. Avoid the R version at all costs:)

Whats so bad about the Ice Pick Edition-Unrated..

I think its better innovative packaging than the regular packaging, the only reason the stores may be tring to get rid of it is cause they may have made a tons more than expected...

I chose the Ice Pick case over the regular case -both had unrated version of it for $14.99 CDN, at Future Shop today.

I also intentionally picked the ice pick version. Then I sent a letter to the company asking for a keep case for it and they sent me one. So I have the unique packaging for the gee-whiz factor, but a nice case for storage purposes.
