American Psycho UR????
I read that American Psycho unrated version is OOP now.
Is there a new version planned for release?
If so, then I will wait.
I want to pick this flick up somewhere, but cannot find it anymore. Most places are sold out or do not carry it.
Any advice on where to get it?
Thanks.

This has been covered ad nauseum before.
The UR edition is about 30 seconds longer consisting of one shot of the two girls going down on Patrick. That's the only difference.
There were rumors of a new edition but nothing more than rumors. The UK edition has some more featurettes as well as deleted scenes but that's the closest we've come to a SE.
The regular edition is dirt cheap so you're better off just picking that up until something else is released.

www.cdwow.com (has been affilated to DVDTalk) has the excellent UK disc for $10 shipped.
It's uncut and has a couple of interesting extras.
Not got a multiregion DVD player? You should

you can still find the unrated version on places like half.com and ebay. it doesn't go for much.
also I heard the French version put out by Studio Canal has a crapton of extras plus its unrated. not sure though.
I was lucky enough to find the unrated version used at a local store.

The French release also has DTS -en français! and forced French subtitles IIRC on the English 5.1. I have that DVD somewhere and I do definitely recall a magnificent image and some very interesting extras.

I was in FYE today and they had "American Psycho" R-rated as part of a "2 dvds for $15" sale. But you could also buy it for $7.99 by itself. You may want to check there. While I was in there, I got "O" 2-disc SE and Requiem for a Dream for $15. Not a bad deal, especially for FYE.

There were many more differences between The R cut and the Unrated cut. The Fellatio scene was just one of them.
In the infamous " Don't just stare at it, Eat it " line, Bateman says " Christie, position yourself so you can see ( woman )'s ass." In the unrated version, he says " ******* ".
Also, when Bateman kills Paul Allen ( the killing with the chrome axe ), and he sits down and lights a cigar, you can see more brains and blood on the ground. In the R rated version, the scene is framed higher, cutting most of that stuff off.

So, just to clarify, there is no and has never been an official Region 1 release of the unrated cut?

Indeed. Fair enough, then.

I followed the development of this movie before it was released, and I recall reading director Mary Harron commenting that the R-rated cut, which was insisted by the studio, required she remove the scene of Bateman's cold expression seen for a few seconds, as he has sex with the two prostitutes. It was not the fact that he says "asshole" or that we see one of the girls bobbing her head below the frame. It was the look on his face. Mary Harron commented on it because she was annoyed that the scene had to be cut on the insistence of the studio (she also almost lost control of the film to Leonardo Dicaprio wanting to jump into the lead to save his image of pin-up boy after Titanic). Also the unrated cut features more sex with the prostitutes as see through the video camera’s monitor, which is not in the R-rated cut.
As for this, unrated cut of the DVD being discussed (which is really the director’s cut, if you could it hear from Harron), which is the best copy to own? Is it the UK version or the French version-- as far as extras and image and sound quality (too bad DVD Beaver never made a comparison…. Anyone know if someone else has?).
