The Boondock Saints: Unrated Edition -- 5/23/06
#28
DVD Talk Ultimate Edition
This is what imdb.com has listed as cut from the R rated version. Expect more graphic violence
the Hotel Shootout: This scene has a cut about 7 seconds, showing bloody bullet hits, when the two brothers are hanging on the rope.
Rocco shoots the Mafia-Guys in the bar: The headshot and the shot in the chest are cut away on the DVD. You only see the blood coming out of the back of the bench.
Shoot out in the pool-room: one scene is cut which shows several bullet hits in the body of the guy who opens the door.
Poolroom shootout: The guy that's holding the phone, standing in the back left corner gets shot twice. The second bullet hit is cut out from the US DVD.

In, been waiting a while for this one.
I know alot of people find this movie to be over-hyped but I'd have to say atleast rent if for no other reason than to see Willem Dafoe at his best. He is outstanding in this movie....

I'll also second the high praises for "Overnight."

At least we can hold onto the fact that we get the full bitrate DTS track though, right?

Mighty fine looking cover, with all the useless double dipping going on these days, this was a much needed one. I am all for an upgrade. William Dafoe was outstanding in this.

Cover art looks good, but I wish I would have saw Overnight first, maybe then I mimght have enjoyed BS. While I am no fan of the movie, it's good to see a better version come out for the fans of the movie.
Did Duffy get some $$$$$$ for the commentary? It was my understanding that his original deal didn't include any profits from the DVD, where it made it's money,

You have absolutely nothing to be pissed about.
I too have the Scanbox version .. it's uncut and full bitrate DTS, unlike the DD-EX track on the upcoming R1 version. And it sounds amazing!! Thanks, but you already have best available version to date .. and will remain to even after the upcoming release.The only differences warranting an upgrade would be for those that care about the extras or stuck in R1 land (which is cool too
). Extras aren't a necessary option on my behalf, so I probably won't triple dip for this title. Though, one never knows ... the cover is pretty slick.
