Does Superbad Blu ray have both cuts on it?

I know most of the other Apatow blu rays had both the theatrical and unrated cuts on them... does the blu ray have both versions?

Luckily it's not a dramatic difference from the theatrical AFAIK. Not like The 40 Year Old Virgin at least.

Indeed. Saw both theatrical and unrated of Superbad and it didn't feel different to me; I can't say the same for Virgin!

With 2 discs you'd think they would have had room SOMEWHERE for the theatrical version. That's why I got the regular DVD instead.

But how could they double dip in the future? Won't somebody think of the starving studio execs?

there's VERY little different between the two. Probably less than an additional minutes, 2 extended scenes if I recall...

Superbad was released right before Sony and Universal started offering up both versions of these R-rated comedies on their Blu-ray releases. Someone apparently got the memo about seamless branching.

Unfortunately actual seamless branching is still relatively rare on Blu-ray. Most of the studios have done the brain dead shortcut method of just encoding the separate cuts onto a BD-50. I have heard it is somewhat of a technical challenge to properly author seamless branching on Blu-ray though not impossible. I know that Close Encounters of the Third Kind has proper seamless branching implemented.
