The Hangover: Extreme Hangover Edition - October 12th, 2010 - Blu-ray Forum

Phil92 · 07-07-2010, 02:59 PM

Could this win the award for the most pointless re-release ever? I mean, I at least thought they would hold off until the sequel before they double-dip.

Quote:

Warner Home Video has announced DVD ($33.92) and Blu-ray ($35.99) editions of The Hangover: Extreme Edition for October 12th. Each will include the theatrical cut (99 mins) as well as a new 108 minute unrated cut. The rest of the details are still sketchy I'm afraid, although each edition will include a 28-page book which contains even more incriminating photos and movie money to see Due Date in theaters 11/05/10 ($7.50 value). The Blu-ray release will also include an exclusive soundtrack sampler.

That's basically it?? I love the movie to death, but not sure if I'll double dip for the booklet and extra pics.

My reasons to double-dip:

*New, improved transfer

*Alternate cut.

The new edition of the hangover has neither of these. Funnily enough the theatrical cut is vastly superior to the "unrated cut" on the original blu-ray. There is literally no reason for this.

rockyoumonkeys · 07-07-2010, 03:08 PM

Ooh, a stupid little booklet.

That's EXTREME!

pixarforlife · 07-07-2010, 03:09 PM

Wow! That is completely pointless, but I might want it. I just want the re-release to be the Blu-Ray only. I never actually bought this movie to tell you the truth, I rented it a couple of times and I probably want it now. Hopefully, I'll just get the Blu-Ray without the pictures for less $$$. I also don't need the booklet, I just want the Blu-Ray.

The Theory · 07-07-2010, 03:14 PM

The Hangover is one of my favorite comedies, but I'll definitely pass on this... unless there ends up being something super amazing about this that they've neglected to mention.

Also, gotta agree with the person above who said the theatrical version was better than the extended version.

Phil92 · 07-07-2010, 03:17 PM

Did I forget to mention that this edition carries a SRP of $50?

DetroitSportsFan · 07-07-2010, 03:31 PM

Come on WB, you have plenty of titles you need to release. Forget the double-dips.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

I can't believe with an SRP of $50, that this is going to be a 'big seller.'

HD Goofnut · 07-07-2010, 03:43 PM

I'll stick with the original BD release that I paid $16.99 for. My guess is that we'll see the extreme edition marked down to $20-25 by Christmas.

fdm · 07-07-2010, 03:46 PM

Aren't those pictures the basis of one of the original release's supplements? Maybe they added a couple new ones.

(Maybe, after just reading how Harry Potter And Order Of The Phoenix has yet to make a profit, this film too is still trying to find its way towards profitableness...)

sfmarine · 07-07-2010, 04:02 PM

I'll pass...

Minimejer05 · 07-07-2010, 04:26 PM

I prefer this cover art to the original Unrated cover art. But not worth a double dip AT ALL.

In what way is the theatrical cut vastly superior to the unrated cut? I have only seen the unrated cut so am curious.

YodasFootPowder · 07-07-2010, 04:33 PM

I didn't even think this movie was that great. I mean, I thought it was funny, but when it came out people were clamoring like it was one of the funniest movies of all time and I just didn't find it to be that way.

Chaotic · 07-07-2010, 04:34 PM

I never got the first editon so ill get this.

recS-12 · 07-07-2010, 04:41 PM

Enjoyed the movie but they won't be getting more $$ from me.

"Does the Blu-ray version of '.......' look better than it's DVD version?" I'm so sick of this question. 99% of Blu-rays look better than their DVD counterpart. Period.
