So is the video commentary on the 3rd disc for the directors cut, or theatrical?

Any word on any place where Del Toro will be doing signings? Lazer blazer had one for the original release and I thought there was going to be another for this one.

Yeah, when he was signing for the first one I asked him if he would be back at Laser Blazer for the Director's Cut and he said that he was. But I haven't heard any details yet. Maybe he got busy with pre-production for his next project.

Guillermo is currently in Spain working on his new movie "Pan's Labyrinth" right now.
He'll be there until later this year/early next year I believe.
He'll be signing the Director's Cut at Dark Delicacies when he's back.

i would like to know this as well, if somebody who has the dvd could provide this information. thanks.

cool, I would love to get my samaritan 1:1 signed.

This was the first thing I checked out...it is the same commentary from the 2-Disc just with video too...its done like the Goonies vid commentary...

sorry no pics guys...

The second disc in this set is identical to the second disc in the two-disc set. The new booklet looks kinda cool, but is completely useless. The video commentary is sort of useless too. It's the same commentary from the old set, but it's just a video of the actors while they watch and talk with a little picture-in-picture of the movie in the corner.

If you don't have the first set, by all means, get this one. If you already have the first set and feel satisfied about it - don't bother with this new one. But if you live and breath Hellboy and can't get enough, get both - but know that you'll have a duplicate of the second disc.

So "essentially," the Theatrical Cut of the film is a part of the 3 Disc edition and everything's been ported over from the 2 Disc edition (sort of).

That's the post I was waiting to read. I'm a casual fan who missed it in theaters on purpose (like almost all movies since I started buying DVDs, not crapping on Hellboy).

Thanks for the info.

Not really - the only way you'll see the theatrical cut on the 3-disc set is in a tiny window during the actor's commentary. And there's still a good deal of extras on the 3-disc not on the two disc. The only thing on the 2-disc that's not on the 3-disc is the theatrical cut w/ the original commentary.

Watched the DC! Much better...if thats possible! Awesome! Everyone...GET IT!

I waited to pick up the 3 Disc but wanted to see what was missing from the 2 Disc edition.

I'm glad I waited. I'm definately picking up the 3 Disc now.

Thanks for the info.

might has well go ahead and get the gift set with the beautiful bust!

I'm not into Comic Hero breasts, otherwise I would.

My local Blockbuster has the gift set with the Hellboy bust. Looked pretty cool. I'm just gonna get the regular 3-discer though.

So the Hellboy Recommends section on the first disc of the 2-disc version that has the McBoing and Tell-Tale Heart cartoons are NOT on this 3-disc set?

You are correct.

Why would you want to watch the entire movie looking at the actors commentary? Wouldn't it make more sense to make the video commentary the small box in the corner, rather than the movie be the small box in the corner?


Btw, what are the added scenes? What makes this cut any better?

Because it is the Director's Cut... aren't Director Cuts always better

Crap, I really enjoyed those cartoons. I have no idea what they had to do with Hellboy, but they were fun.

Yeah, no kidding. Another reason to hold on to the original set.

That's disappointing, I wanted to see those cartoons.

How long are those cartoons?

Are there any reviews of this? I am debating picking this up today but was hoping to hear about the new cut, like a review or something. Anyone?
