Cheers Salty I may pick up Con Air but when it's cheap. It's good fun but doesn't come close to films like The Rock.

That link also says:

"Crimson Tide: Unrated Extended Edition on May 16th"

Extended by 1 second.. they better be good dvds as the current ones shite and I cannot see them doing much at all with them films.

I want specs!

I have to agree, pity.

I suspect they'll be extended by a few minutes and add nothing. The extras will probably be the same too.

We can but hope for much imporved dvds

I would buy both yet again if the dvds are great.

Yes! I'm happy I have waited. Loved both movies. I hope that they used new and better transfers as well.

I won't both with EOTS TBH it was decent but not a keeper.

Interested in CON AIR but I'd like to know more.

Don't want to have a bunch of cutting room floor sweepings back into the film.

I liked both Con Air and EOTS, no desire to buy either though unless I see 'em really cheap.

Steve Buscemi as the sociopath was hilarious. Eg the anecdote where he scalped the little girl and "wore it as a hat"'.

They fixed all the problems with the R1's yonks ago.

these should be reasonably priced on release the rrp is only $19.99 so with discount should be less than a tenner at pacific.

I liked EOTS - I'll wait and see whats been put back in though.

replacement killers-extended is coming in april.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 25 Jan 2006, 21:21

Does that really need another Special Edition? The current SE DVD is already decent.

NO WAY!

jesus this will be my 3rd edition.

John Woo really should've directed that film, instead handing it off to that hack Antoine Fuqua (Training Day was just average with excellent performances, nothing more).

I might be tempted if they include both versions of the film (Con Air, enemy of the state, the Replacement Killers) with new transfers and DTS on both versions of the film, plus some decent extras. If not I'll stick with what I already have.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 26 Jan 2006, 17:33

You wont get more than one version on the dvds look at the companies releasing them, they never release 2 editions on 1 dvd.

Enemy of the State et al will have new transfers according to the link, no mention of what the extras are there though.
Wasn't the original EOTS R Rated or was it PG-13?

It was 15 rated in England.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 26 Jan 2006, 22:07

R-rated.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 27 Jan 2006, 00:20

R-rated? EOTS? Why?

Any known reasons?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 27 Jan 2006, 01:57

Probably the effing and blinding I would imagine also there's a shootout at the end. It's been many years since I saw this.

it's confirmed as being 11 minutes longer.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 15 May 2006, 08:59

The Unrated EOTS is 9 minutes longer. There's a DVD Talk review here:

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=21664

Its pretty useless though as the reviewer admits thats the first time he's seen the film and so doesnt know whats different in terms of new footage from the older release.

Con Air and Crimson Tide Extended Edition reviews up at dvdtimes.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 May 2006, 14:41

It's a pity they didn't port the Con Air extras over at the very least. Still it still looks like the best we're going to get for some time to come.
