Columbia Is At It Again --> Silverado & XXX Reissues...
 

Coming April 5th- Silverado Gift Set.....complete with a DTS track and playing cards....

Coming April 19th, just in time for the-sequel-no-one-asked-for (XXX: State Of The Union) comes....drum roll.....XXX: The Uncensored Unrated Director's Cut!

(and before anyone asks for a source....please see the "Karate Kid" thread ;) )

I've already seen Asia Argento's boobies. And I doubt they'd be in the director's cut anyway. No need to buy it.

Mao, thank you for the news....but this is Columbia....so we should have expected it. :down:

I don't know, Mao, the xXx sequal trailer looks pretty decent.

I'm betting the UR-DC of xXx will include some new T&A shots of the girly girls in the flick. Hoenstly, I haven't watched my xXx DVD since it came out over 2 years ago.

anything that looks good and say xXx is in the adult forum....hope this one crash and burns....useless

I liked XXX,not alot,but I never picked up the regular edition 2(3?) years ago. So I MIGHT pick it up.

xXx was fun in some ways. I mean, shit blew up, really big. And there were a couple stunts in there that were mighty impressive, like the motor bike jumping over the exploding building. When I watched how they did that, I must say I was impressed. I figured there was some compsiting special effects, but essnetially they just jumped a bike over a building and blew it up with some precision timing.

So, yeah the movie is beyond stupid, but it's got some nice bang bang blow shit up moments done the old fashioned way. Which, I must admit, I enjoyed. If you watch the movie like it's the Forrest Gump of action movies (ie a retarded man stumbling his way to success, which, by all means, the xXx character is an idiot but the movie doesn't seem to notice) then, it's more fun.

This will be the third version of xXx. They already released a SE and a Superbit. Maybe this time they can release a Superbit Deluxe, like they should have on the first attempt.

how much longer will XXX: The Uncensored Unrated Director's Cut, be over the theaterical? 20 seconds?

Is this a legitimate re-release or mostly a gimmick (new transfer, extras)?

Ill probably get xXx since I love the first 5 mins of the film. Hopefully it has more than just a few seconds to it. But April 18th is a monday?

Thanks for the specs Mao.

Ill probably still pick up that xXx disc for the free ticket and I support it since Rammstien was in the opening shots. ;)

Looking forward to Silverado :thumbsup:

Looking forward to DTS on Siverado!

Might grab Silverado since I don't have it, but I already have XXX on DVD and will probably not double dip (not the best of movies, but it sure sounds amazing).

The director commented on these scene being removed for ratings, on the original DVD...

--Extended party scene in the castle, containing a more explicit version of the pole dance scene (which was later trimmed down for a PG13 rating).

--R-Rated version of Yorgi receiving a phone call from someone with information on Xander Cage. It features three nude girls on a bed behind him.

Ugh, if that is all thats different in the film then Ill pass on it.

Yeah, that don't sound like much to get excited about for XXX 1.5, but the Silverado Superbit sounds interesting. I've got the single-disc edition, but IIRC the transfer isn't all that great. It's not bad, but could definately use a higher bitrate.

As for XXX, I always thought of it as a new 21st Century version of James Bond. Cheesey gadgets and over-the-top action sequences.

Wont be double dipping on XXX here. Im happy enough with the edition I have. I'll check out the second movie, looks ok.

I already have both XXXs, but if they include a movie ticket I will make a third purchase. Silverado and Dts, no doubt I will purchase this edition.

All they left out was Extended.

haven't managed to pick up XXX or Silverado and want em both, so I'll probably buy em..thanks for the info Mao :)

I've never seen Silverado so i'll rent it before I buy it.I'll get the xXx dvd because when I originally bought it I got it in fullscreen and I want to make it right.

Ironically I just watched my copy of xXx three days ago. Doesn't sound like there's enough on the new release to warrent an upgrade for me. What's this about the death of Xander Cage? Originally I heard that if the movie did well enough that there would be a series of them with Vin Diesel. When I heard about the sequel and no Vin, I thought "Hollywood broke the first rule of making a successful sequel."
