The R4 of Commando has been re-released uncut! Hooray! No paying horrible costs to import a Euro release for me!

Lester actioner has just been re-released in its original (US R-rated) version locally. I have been told that the cover is the same as the old cover, but the following serial numbers are on the disc itself... Top side: 1484SDW DVD 5: SINGLE LAYER, SINGLE SIDED DISC Underside: 928629-C23-2 25.F9.DV.1484STV1.1.S5A IFPIL603 I will confirm this for myself when I have access to this new DVD. Enjoy da moofie and "Let off a little steam!"

Thats' good news

Makes you wonder why it cant be released uncut in UK R2 land, its hardly Arnie's most violent film.

Anamorphic? quality etc...

We don't know yet, he said he hasnt got the DVD yet. I'd be very surprised if it was not anamorphic, the old R4 release was AFAIK.
I'd like to see an uncut re-release with a new transfer and 5.1 sound TBH, but there you go.

I got the French DVD last year.

It would be passed uncut in the UK if Fox actually bothered to submit it to the BBFC.

I guess the French will have to do for now, it could do with 5.1 at least though.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 19 Feb 2006, 23:37

It was made in 1985 so 5.1 is an afterthought.

I guess the original track would have been Mono/Stereo?

Yep.

I can't see it not being anamorphic.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 20 Feb 2006, 15:39

Stereo, I would presume.

Just checked and my DVD is 2.0

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 20 Feb 2006, 16:17

Yeah mine is as well. Well a new transfer would be welcome then

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Feb 2006, 16:57

I can't see it that when it's not been rereleased just a new submission.

same here & I don't think that's too much to ask to be fair.

It won't happen though, until some form of HD DVD takes off IMO.
