Commando: Director's Cut --> 9/18/07
Didn't see this posted...from DVDActive:
Fox has announced a director's cut of Commando which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger. The disc will be available to own from the 18th September, and should retail at around $19.98. As well as the original theatrical cut (90 minutes), the set will include an all-new seamlessly branched unrated version (95 minutes) as envisioned by director Mark L. Lester. Each version of the film will be presented in 1.85:1 anamoprhic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. Extras will include an audio commentary on the theatrical cut by director Mark Lester, deleted scenes, a Pure Action featurette, a Let Off Some Steam featurette, and 4 photo galleries with over 150 images (Creating Commando, Domestic Bliss with John and Jenny, Kill Arnold, Kill!, and Trashing the Galleria). Right around my birthday and all, will definitely pick this one up. However, I don't need the girl! :D I keep forgetting this is directed by the same director of Class of 1984. While we're at it we need an R1 version of Class of 1999 too. Artwork's not bad either. I'll welcome all of you let off your steam about it... |
Just saw this a min ago! Cant wait... classic ahnold.
|
Wow, first the new Taxi Driver, now this. It must be Christmas! I'll be getting this.
I thought there was a R1 Class of 1984? |

Wow all these long-awaited catalog SEs pouring out! More!
P.S.: Ah gotta love what a silly little comma can do to a sentence. Here's what one of the features from the press release is titled: Kill Arnold, Kill! :) |
It's about time. I am more than game for this release. The DVD news lately has been improving quite abit. The Burning UNCUT and Commando SE. Nice combo.
" Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? " " That's right, Matrix. You did. " " I LIED " |
"Please don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired."
Mwahaha ...about time for this. Any word on a Blu-Ray or HD release? |
This just made my day!
Hopefully it will be 5 minutes of ass-kickin' 80's violence and not "character development" |
niiice, i just listed mine on half.com the other day too.
"You fuckin' whore" - Sully |
Can't believe this is finally gonna be anamorphic in the US....AND finally get the first 5.1 audio track anywhere in the world! This has been a long time coming.
"Put away that chicken-shit gun. You want to put the knife in me!" Now if we could also get a release of Bobby Jo and the Outlaw. |
this rules!!!!!!!!!!!!! the artwork is pretty decent too!!!!
|
"I'm gonna shoot you between the balls!!!!"
|
That's another non-anamorphic Fox dvd we can remove from the list. That leaves True Lies, The Abyss, Broken Arrow, The Edge, and a few others.

Now Fox, Pay attention to this... Do you see how easy it is to get me enthusiastic about handing over my money for a worthy dvd upgrade. Keep 'em coming. |
I eat Green Berets for breakfast, and right now I'm very hungry!
Classic!!! |
One of my most anticipated releases for years now, and with a shitload of features to boot. I can't wait to watch Arnold slice off head chunks with a saw blade in anamorphic widescreen.
|
Count me in for a double dip as well...A guilty pleasure at worst...
|
Good News Indeed,Schwarzenegger rules,now fianlly give me my True Lies Director's cut extended edition with Anamorphic DTS

I'm so happy!
:banana: |
"Robocop" and now "Commando"......this is going to be a great year.
I Hope a "True Lies: SE" & "Last Action Hero SE" aren't too far off. |
Bring on the body count!
|
You said you'd kill me last!

The last time I watched this I did a count of on-screen deaths in the final action sequence and it came to 74, I believe. |
Sigh. I hope this release has more involvement with Arnie than Fletch did with Chevy...

And here's where I shot the other guy. And here's where I say something funny." |
I wonder if some of the extended footage will be some of the scenes that were trimmed for violence, specifically the toolshed scene.
I seem to recall they said it was filmed with him cutting the guy's arm off, the guy screaming, and Matrix slapping the guy in the face with his own severed arm. |

Awesome news...I definitely did not expect to ever see this one get the DC treatment...:up:

But, you can't talk about the amazing gayness of Commando without mentioning Bennett. In fact, if I ever go back to school, my thesis will detail how the late twentieth/early twenty-first century embracing of homosexuality stems from Vernon Wells' portrayal of this particular character. After I'm done, West Hollywood will be renamed "Vernon Wells." Where to even start... Bennett spends nearly the entire movie wearing the following outfit: Leather pants A black, sleeveless T-shirt A chain mail vest A large belt that turns said chain mail into a little skirt Fingerless leather gloves A dog chain choker A flat top A push broom moustache A leather belt that he wore around the chain mail vest, making it seem as if he were wearing a skirt. Yes, I stated this point earlier, but holy fuck does it need repeating! http://ruthlessreviews.com/80saction...ommando666.jpg |
I can't wait! I've held off on this so long because it wasn't anamorphic.
Like others said, I'd love for True Lies and Ravenous to be re-released in anamorphic versions, Fox. |

" Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? " " That's right, Matrix. You did. " " I LIED " and the week before the uncut version of 'From Beyond' Warner's should release 'Cruising' and 'The Devils' in September as well, I'd be a very happy camper. |
As much as people complain about all these re-releases, I'm happy because althrough i have been collecting DVD's since 2001 I really didn't starting going every tuesday till about the fall of 2004 so with all these re-releases of great movies coming out I couldn't be happier & althrough I still am a bigger TV ON DVD collector (& always will be) I'm very exicted to see good treatment for some of the best movies ever.
Will def. pick it up in sept, for is going to get alot of my business with there damn re-release's. |

Now I can finally dump my barebones edition!! Yeah!! I was totally not expecting this to get an updrade. I'll be more than happy to get this one.
|
This is a bit of a suprise. AMC has been wearing out Commando for atleast a year now. Maybe the ratings have spoken for this worthy DVD re-release.
|
I don't guess the director's cut would have Sully dying last would it?
