:twisted:

Thanks. It really annoys me when that happens. Said reviewers know it's really the only question we want answered. The AV we know will be decent.

Since nobody wants to compare it, I will.

The US Unrated disc is the exact same cut that was shown in French theaters earlier this year.
We can safely assume that it is the Director's Preferred Cut.

Is the HK cut different ?
I don't know, and I don't care since the video quality of the HK disc is inferior to both the French and US editions.

How do you know it's the same cut? Please.

What does that review say on the subject?

I'd still like to know how the Unrated vs. HK cut goes? I really suspect it's only the R rated cut that is cut.

Looks like the French disc is the one to get... although I'll rent the UK edition (when it comes out later this month) to see if the film is any good. Y'all know how fussy I am!

Nice comparisons I love them flicking pics

the French version indeed looks best and I would upgrade right now if the french dvd was cheap, I guess I will wait till the price goes down. The HK version is fine mind you for the cheap price it is.

Th various cuts I still need to see actual comparisons with pics to show footage etc.. as the HK version is different to the Uk version I saw in the cinema, a few extra scenes etc.. for starters. So does that mean the UK got a different edit to France etc...

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 08 Nov 2005, 18:32

So the HK cut is longer than the UK cut Romero or so you're saying?

I may get the French UE if the extras are in English or have English subs. I'm really more than happy with my HK DVD. I wouldn't say the French one is all out better, in some shots the HK DVD looks better.

Yup as far as I remember a few scenes popped up in the HK dvd I think, I could be wrong and have it the wrong way around mind you

but the UK and HK version are different for a few scenes thats for certain.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 08 Nov 2005, 23:04

the UK and HK version are different for a few scenes

So we can assume that:

HK cut = French cut = US unrated cut.
UK cut = US R-rated cut.

I think the HK cut = French cut = US Unrated cut ends the film on Danny's Face.

omg I love this film with all my heart. It's like JSA.

Instead of what Bisc?

Mordib · Post by **Mordib** » 09 Nov 2005, 13:46

Bisc, is it true theyre making another mortal kombat flick???

and yes , Danny the Dog is a great flick

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 09 Nov 2005, 17:45

Not sure it is, the HK cut has a few scenes which are simple scenes in the shops etc.. noting making it unrated thats for sure.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Nov 2005, 19:32

You forget my young padewan (sp?) unrated DVDs aren't there because they need to be unrated they're there because it's a great marketing tool.

Many, many Unrated DVDs would easily pass R-Rated.

Not sure man. I might get this new French UE... looks sexilicious.

Mordib, I've heard too many stories about another MK film. I don't believe any of it. I reckon that there's a greater chance of me getting spanked by Goro's four hands in public, than there is of another MK title (I know which one most folk would rather see).

Long time since this thread

but I am after the American HD DVD version of Unleashed (its looks cracking compared to the dvds). Its the American R Rated cut, any comparisons telling exactly what the difference is between all versions now?

This on IMDB says

# The Europa Ultimate Edition of the film contains deleted scenes like:

* 1) Danny admits to Sam that he 'hurts people'.
* 2) An incomplete fight-sequence at a indoor car park.
* 3) A 3D track shot inside the piano
* ..and also U.S version scenes include:
* 1) A longer montage of Bart taking Danny throughout Glasgow to collect money.
* 2) Alternate ending: instead of ending with a close-up of Danny, it simply ends with the piano crawl.

# The European version is entitled Danny The Dog and includes some more scenes including more character development between Freeman and Li and a different title sequence. It also includes a slightly different ending, one which ends on Danny's face.

So is that right then

Why do you want the USA cut? I'm not sure if it's out in the UK on HD but I'm pretty sure we got the USA cut too.

I hear the French cut is the better one. That's what the HK DVD has, which is the one I own.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 08 Jun 2008, 15:13

I want the HD DVD out in america. Its the R rated cut only, just wondering exactly what was cut and cannot find much detailed on it apart from a few lines here and there.

This shows you why I want the HD version

http://whiggles.landofwhimsy.com/writin ... dsdhd.html

Makes the dvd look like crap.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 08 Jun 2008, 15:15

I was wondering why you don't want the French cut on HD. Isn't it out in France? Thanks for the link.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 08 Jun 2008, 15:28

Price really, the HD DVD from america is £6, cheap and chearfull.

The Japanese version is very different looking too mind you

(Universal, USA, VC-1, 12.8 GB) vs (Sony Pictures, Japan, AVC, 26.1 GB)

and size wise too.

Blu Ray Vs HD DVD here

Ahh found out some good wording of the changes here too

Which you commented on a while back

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 08 Jun 2008, 15:44

I've seen that Whiggles comparison before. That's a good site. Fair enough then about the price. Isn't it cheap at MovieTyme or DeepDiscount?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 08 Jun 2008, 16:00

Well over Double the HD DVD price sadly

Still hey I am sure Unleashed will get a full on Blu Ray american release one day, then I can get that

I would not mind a perfect version one day as I do love the film.

The Wiggles site for me is one of the best sites for real reviews from a person who knows his stuff and knows what he sees before his eyes in a DVD and HD, as frankly many so called reviewers out here are a joke. Infact so many entire sites are full of talentless jokers who think they know what they are on about, many even dont know compression from grain, that says it all

luckystars · Post by **luckystars** » 06 Jan 2014, 15:16

Going back to this is the UK Blu really the long European cut, and a good release of the film? Also out of interest is it called Danny the Dog on the print?

I have the French THX ultimate set.
