Wild at Heart (DVD question)
For those of you who have bought it already, how is the DVD overall? Video/audio quality? extras? also is the movie the way it was meant to be seen, no cuts or abnormalities.
Thanks!
Thanks!

You get the US theatrical cut. Dafoes headshot scene is cut or altered. Read this : http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDCom...ildatheart.htm

I remember I saw this film in a U.S. theater, and even if Dafoe's headshot was altered for U.S audiences, I still found it unforgettable and nearly traumatizing in its exhibition. I did not need the blood of the original cut. The left-overs rolling on the street afterward was enough to revolt me. It works either way, unless one is a warpo who appreciates the graphic kind of violence.

There's an extensive discussion going on about this here:

I've looked at DVDBeaver's comparison review but they only provided two screen shots of the shotgun scene. Could somebody please take a few more so I could get a sense of just how bad the fogging is overall? It would mean a lot to me. Thanks!
