Member AlbertV Posted October 24, 2009 Member Share Posted October 24, 2009 That's cool...this will be the combined shorter cut of John Woo's epic film. I had the pleasure of seeing the original Asian 2-part version and it is totally worth the near 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DeathFuMaster Posted October 24, 2009 Member Share Posted October 24, 2009 I will wait for the two separtate releases to come out on DVD, but the shorter cut should reach a wider audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted October 24, 2009 Member Share Posted October 24, 2009 The longer cuts have been available on dvd and blu ray for ages from Hong Kong, region free also i seem to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DeathFuMaster Posted October 24, 2009 Member Share Posted October 24, 2009 Yeah I know, but I meant the US release. Sorry for not specifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member LeRolls Posted October 25, 2009 Member Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yeah I know, but I meant the US release. Sorry for not specifying. You'd probably be better off getting the HK versions because there's a good chance the R1 release won't be as good. I have the Blu-Rays and they look awesome (aside from the annoying watermark on the first movie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member David Rees Posted October 26, 2009 Member Share Posted October 26, 2009 Why wait for the US Release?...The HK dvds are region free and the way American distributors cut films its not worth the risk. www.dvdasia.co.uk....FREE UK DELIVERY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator thekfc Posted October 27, 2009 Moderator Share Posted October 27, 2009 The US release will be 148 minutes ( a little over 2 hours) while the longer cut is almost 5 hours. Trimming this down to 2 1/2 hour - an entire storyline was cut as well as significantly shorten scenes. I am still waiting on the special edition 2 disc blu-ray I ordered to arrive.

Member TopCrusader Posted November 2, 2009 Member Share Posted November 2, 2009 Is it possible they could release this film to more theaters? As of now its only playing in 20 or so theaters! I would love to see this on the big screen even if it is edited down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member GoldenPigsy Posted November 2, 2009 Member Share Posted November 2, 2009 I don't like the idea of watching 2 hours of battle scenes. It might be in interest of making money, but the recut is still rather distasteful, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
