January 30, 200718 yr 1 question- how could this DVD get any more gorier :puke2: The cineam version was NASTY I dont actually think this whole 'unrated' nonsense means a damn thing in the UK Callum... Many films in the US are cut to achieve an "R" (Restricted, a bit like a 12 rating over here because minors have to be accompanied by an adult) rating as opposed to an NC17 (which is considered to be box office poison, but is basically the equivalent of our 18 Certificate), when they're released in cinemas in the US, the cut scenes are then put back in and the DVD is called "Unrated" (unlike over here, DVDs dont actually need an MPAA - the US equivalent of the BBFC - rating in order to be sold)... In the UK however, because there is no such box office problems with an 18 certificate film (because the average cinema-goer age is older than in the States), the scenes cut out for American audiences to achieve the R rating are put back in for UK cinema audiences... In other words, there is no more gore in the "unrated" DVD than there was in the UK cinema release...

But Ive just seen an unrated DVD clip on you tube and it definately is different i.e. gorier, for example they show her rib cage ripping open whereas in cinemas it was her back faced when it happened

The American theatrical version is just about always the version that is going to be spread around the world. The studios simply don't care enough to make different versions for foreign nations and then the unrated ones will come out on dvd around the world. There are probably some few exceptions to that but those are very scarce. I could name quite a few films that had the same US and UK versions out in theaters and then more violent "unrated" versions on dvd but no film that had extra scenes in the UK at the movie theatre (and now, of course, I'm talking about American films).

Hmmm, well, you may have a point with some films actually... They tend to be called "Director's Cuts" over this side of the pond though... "Devil's Rejects" was one that had a couple of minutes added on (although, frankly, I'm not sure where, both cinema and DVD version looked equally nasty..), as was "Land of the Dead" (although the actual feature itself was a '15' both in Cinema and DVD, the '18' cert on the DVD actually came about because of one of the bonus features paradoxically...).. The pathetic new version of "The Wicker Man" apparently has some added scenes on the DVD as well (Yeah, like it'll really make it a better film..)... Hopefully they'll actually show Nic Cage getting his legs broken instead of the cinema version which had that unintended, hilarious "Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me" moment when you hear Nic Cage shout "AAAAAAH, My Leg!!!!!!" I just pished myself laughing in the cinema at this - so utterly lame and pathetic....
January 31, 200718 yr I didnt like SAW3...it was too gory and lacked in proper storyline. I think the series has had its day unless they come up with something much better next time around.
January 31, 200718 yr Okay, just had a look on the BBFC website concerning all this... The film theatrical version runs at 108 minutes, the DVD is actually running at 109 it would seem (I have no reason to believe the BBFC is inaccurate or lying)... Now taking into account that you have to take off 4 minutes in the run time from film (which runs at 25 fps..) and Region 2 DVD (which runs at 24 fps), then the theatrical version on DVD would be 104 minutes because you always have to take four minutes off because of different frame rates.... So, it would appear that the Saw 3 DVD actually has 5 minutes added on.... Cant really see ALL this being purely gore though... The Region 1 version is 113 minutes, dont panic though, that's only because Region 1 DVDs run at the same frame rate as film... Oh, and there's about five mins of deleted/extended scenes on the DVD as well.... Hmm, wonder if you can branch them in to the main film....?
January 31, 200718 yr But Ive just seen an unrated DVD clip on you tube and it definately is different i.e. gorier, for example they show her rib cage ripping open whereas in cinemas it was her back faced when it happened When I went to see it at the cinema that bit was included. :huh: Perhaps just the cinema you went to? :unsure: I definately remember that part, and how visual it was. :huh:
