Saw Unrated 10/18/2005
Got this from Dread Central http://www.horrorchannel.com/dread/m...ticle&sid=2224
They include a behind-the-scenes featurette, "Full Disclosure: Investigating Jigsaw", the original short film Wan and Whannell did to drum up interest in the movie, something called "Jigsaw’s Worskhop", in which you build a puppet (it’s DVD-ROM), animated storyboards, an on-set preview of Saw 2, and two full commentary tracks; one by James Wan, Leigh Whannell, and Cary Elwes, and one with the Saw producers.
No word about how much extra footage, probably just a few seconds.

If this is the same as the current R2 "Uncut" disc, the difference is almost neglible. I have both R1 & R2 discs and What miniscule difference I could see wasn't was worth the DD.

I'll only double-dip if there's a ticket for Saw 2. Otherwise, the R cut is good enough.

Well, I can tell you one cool thing:
The front of the case is SOOO COOL! See the blood drops and the little saw blade? They float around beneath the plastic case!
So far I'm halfway through the (rather amusing) commentary between Wan, Whannell, and Elwes.
And if this cut is precisely the same as the version I first saw at Sundance ... then you guys shouldn't expect more than a few new scenes added in. It's extra "visual goopiness" alone; no new sequences -- as far as I know (so far). Wan helpfully mentions when you're seeing the newly-reconstituted gore-bits. (A shot of Jigsaw's head early on; some "searching the stomach" stuff from Shawnee's escape, etc.)
Full review coming soon of course, but I should also mention how fantastic this transfer looks. So I just did.
