Interesting....is this film graphic at all? Possibly NC-17 worthy?

If so,then this is a step in the right direction for Warners.

May be good news for Eyes Wide Shut,The Devils,Cruising,Performance..and anything else they have shyed away from releasing unrated/uncut.

Guess not even Warner could resist pushing some extra Angelina Jolie nudity!

Rammsteinfan 06-22-04 12:57 PM

It will probably be a little more nudity and perhaps some more gore. There were a few scenes of Crime scenes that were pretty graphic.

Strange but my Blockbuster has Taking Lives up on their coming soon board as being released today.

Geofferson 06-22-04 01:13 PM

Didn't catch this one in theatres. I'll be sure to watch the DVD.

Red Dog 06-22-04 01:27 PM

Any unrated version of a DVD with Angelina Jolie in it is worth a buy. :drool:

Julie Walker 06-22-04 01:34 PM

Now if only HBO video,which is apart of Warners I am told released GIA uncut on dvd dammit! Funny that the unrated version regularly airs on cable,but is not on dvd!

Who could?

I wanted to see this in theaters, but I never got a chance to. I've heard some decent things about it, so I'll definately be checking this one out when the release comes around.

Poor Angelina. She's becoming the queen of "unrated".

QuiGonJosh 06-22-04 03:45 PM

I enjoyed the picture...and more Angelina nudity is always a plus!

Cedrock 06-22-04 03:48 PM

yea un-rated, (quagmire voice) hehe allllright! I like the cover too, but not a fan of her huge lips.

Hbo/Warner now needs to put of GIA unrated like they did on vhs.

QuiGonJosh 06-23-04 04:40 AM

amen to that one!

DonnachaOne 06-23-04 01:40 PM

I wouldn't get my hopes up... looks to me like this unrated release has more to do with the poor box office takings for this film.

QuikSilver 06-23-04 01:42 PM

It looks like WB is not using the snapper case. Woohoo!!

John Spartan 06-23-04 04:11 PM

There was an AICN advance review that raved about how the film paraded her wonderful tits around, but the theatrical film supposedly turned out quite coy about the nudity. So this might be one unrated edition that actually delivers on its salacious promises.

mikewendt 06-23-04 08:58 PM

I really enjoyed this in theaters... I can see the Unrated version including more Angelina nudity (which is always welcome) and probably a more graphic ending.

Of course this is just my opinion...

Peep 09-13-04 05:36 PM

Anybody have a pointer to how the unrated cut differs from the 6-minute shorter theatrical release?

theneobez 09-13-04 08:59 PM

are there more boobs in this version or what?

atari2600 09-13-04 10:27 PM

i never saw the theatrical version but on the dvd they definitely show her boobies :)

and based on this older thread, im guessing thats what they added in.

I love it, straight to the point.

Sorry I can't confirm yet.

Rammsteinfan 09-13-04 11:47 PM

Nope, same amount of boobs i remembered from the theatrical version. Maybe a second or two longer sex scene but thats all.

They did add:

Spoiler:
more gore, they showed the dude cutting off his moms head which i didnt see before.

Michael Corvin 09-14-04 06:40 AM

agreed. The sex scene is identical to the one in theaters. Nothing new.
