DVD debacle

DVD DVD

I ordered Gangs of New York (R1 USA) and American Psycho (R1 USA - the new uncut Collector's Edition) from DVD Pacific. I rented Gangs of New York from Blockbuster (the horrible, over-compressed UK version by our friends at Entertainment In Video, that is), watched it yesterday, and really enjoyed it, despite the mixed reviews it received. It's got problems, don't get me wrong, but overall I think it's a great movie.

5 Comments:

  • Both are excellent films; I'm really interested in getting that new version of AMERICAN PSYCHO...the R2 EIV release is horrible.

  • What extra parts are in the uncut version of American Psycho?

  • From IMDB:

    "In order to get an R-rating a scene where Patrick has sex with 2 prostitutes was trimmed. This scene will be available in the new Killer Collectors Edition DVD."

    I believe that the uncut version has been available everywhere except the US since the beginning anyway. It certainly aired on UK TV in its unexpurgated form.

  • Yeah, the R2 EIV is uncut.

  • Ah, I see.
