So, I'm looking to buy Cannibal Holocaust, and I have no idea which DVD is the best of the three.

First, there is the Grindhouse Releasing Deluxe Edition:
This comes in a 1:77:1 aspect ratio

Next, there is a so-called "unrated" version (at least according to the artwork) that was just released:
This one comes with a 1:66:1 aspect ratio

Lastly, there is a Limited 2-Disc Uncut Edition:
There is no aspect ratio listed for the info on this page.

All the discs are listed with a running time of 96 mins, but have amazon doesn't mention any special features that they come with. Does anyone know which is the best to buy?
Also, on IMDB, it says that the film's aspect ratio is 1:85:1, but the DVD pages have different aspect ratios as noted above. Why is this?

Thanks!
(Sorry there's no links to the Amazon pages, apparently I don't have enough posts to insert URLs)

That's an awesome disc, but there is no way I could afford to pay so much for it

Best way to go (if you're a big fan) is the LE digipack version Grindhouse put out. It's pretty pricey on ebay, but if you don't care about the packaging then just get the regular 2-disc set.

I have the original limited # version Grindhouse put out, very nice case. Hit me up if yer interested.

Forget the discs, I'd pay just for the over the top anti-"everything" statue! But I'd actually be curious myself as to which is the best region 1 release of CH. I'm not sure what the difference is between the limited and standard 2D Grindhouse releasing. The latter according to dvdcompare seems to be the most comprehensive release (well, aside from the LE) with both versions (uncut and "animal friendly") of the film intact plus the extensive extras .....

But I'm always up for education.

I think all the Grindhouse releases are the exact same with just different packaging? So really you're not missing out on anything if you get the latest issue of it.

As long as it's a 2 disc set, it should be complete in terms of features and stuff.

I have the old EC disc. I need to upgrade and get one of the newer sets.
