Did anyone notice this is a 2 disc edition now?

Yeah, you did. ;)

Delayed once again. The new release date is May 8. Grrr!

Same day as Mrs. Doutbfire now, both from Fox.

I'm trying to wait on HD releases at this point however will definitely pick up Big. I owned this years ago and sold it hoping for this release that never came. Fun movie!!! :)

I don't suppose we will ever see the version with the F word...

I saw a preview of this in the UK some months before it opened, and I believe before it had also opened in the US. I cannot remember the 'alternative ending', but I vividly remember the F word being used, in the scene where Josh's best friend goes into his office and chides him because he is becoming too grown up and does not want to spend any time with him any more etc...at one point he used the F word and it seemd totally wrong and out of place, considering the tone of the rest of the movie.

It would be interesting to see if anyone can validate this, because I have never seen it mentioned anywhere since, but I have a very strong, abiding memory of this.

Uh, I've never seen a version without this part.

Edit: According to imdb.com:

"The UK version has a slight cut for language to achieve a PG certificate."

That would explain why you've never never seen it in tact there but it's always been present in the stateside version.

Well, if it was just once, maybe the MPAA let it go. I thought I remember Billy saying it, too. And I didn't think it was out of place. Billy was trying to convey some sense of reality into Josh, that he's not who he thinks he is... an adult.

This is fucking awesome.

Too bad Penny didn't do a commentary like she did for League.

Yeah, I'm surprised at the lack of a Penny Marshall commentary but I'll pick this up day one.

Mwah-mwa mwamwa Tom Hanks mahble flable... (incoherent mumbling)... ;)

Actually, that's what I was expecting on <i>League</i>, but it was actually pretty good.

Can't wait for this release! :)

Penny's busy watching the Clippers live.

Excellent. :up:

Welcome to last year:

Big: Director's Cut 03/27/07
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread....ight=tom+hanks

To be fair, "Big" would either not work for a search (doesn't it have to be more letters?) or it would bring up WAYYYYY to many matches. Give the guy a break. And if he bumped the old thread, somebody would be complaining about the old thread being resurrected.

"Resurrected" from only two months ago? Please.

Ok, everyone has a big jimmy, now back on topic. This looks like a nice release to upgrade from the older version I have.

Very Cool and a Director's Cut as well. Pretty good price at Amazon.com - $13.99 . Just picked up the Tom Hank's Collection a few weeks ago so I could get an anamorphic widescreen release of the Money Pit.

Only my girlfriend can have a big jimmy. No one else can have me. ;)

Apologies for that (creating a new thread) :)
So it's a DC, and not an Extended Edition? Cool.
I've never seen the version with the F-Word though (I thought that was the whole point of PG-13?)

So is it called Big: Extended Edition because that kinda sounds like a porno. ;)

I hope they include the Tom Hanks death scene and being buried with the Zoltar machine, at least as a deleted scene. I saw the work print of it and damn if it wasn't tragic.
