Blu-rays that have been stripped of extras (list)

[mrpants]

Name and shame thread. Want to compile a list so buyers can make a better choices about which to buy, and have a little moan too maybe

-Scream 4 - no extras, most on US version (and other countries?)
-Transformers 3 Dark Of The Moon - no extras on triple play, all on 3D version
-Cars 2 - few extras on standard version, most of them on the 3D version

-Avatar (first, cinema version blu-ray release) - No extras, and re-released in a 3 disc set with extras and 3 versions of the movie

[mrpants]

-Pirates of the Caribbean Box Set(s) - had most of the extras removed from the single case releases

Avatar has been a bit of a mess, they still haven't properly released it as 3D yet? Madness. I'm not invested in 3D, but still, madness.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - released by MangaUK - has no extras to speak of! (whereas the US edition has LOADS) This pisses me off because i was under the assumption that it did!

[Billz]

-Tucker & Dale VS Evil - It has one bonus feature, that actually relates to the movie. As far as I know, the US and Australia releases got a lot more extras that are actually related to the film, unlike the UK release!

Predator - first release was barebones, then they re-released it to cash-in on Predators.

Yeah, you get extra's but instead completely stripped the movie of any grail & detail.

Mission Impossible 3 re-release
Star Trek re-release
Transformers re-release
Transformers ROTF re-release
Iron Man re-release

All Paramount 2-discs dropped to 1.

Pretty sure the Incredibles belongs here as well. I have the US version but if it's 2-disc that means something's surely missing this side of the pond.

Some Universal UK releases that were released by various studios in the US, (mainly Sony),all with extras, but Universal couldn't be arsed/get the rights.

We Own The Night
Barney's Version
Curse of The Golden Flower,(supposed to look like crap as well, Sony disc looks stunning)
Take Me Home Tonight
The Messenger
Suck

I'm also expecting Southland Tales to be gimped as well.

Also from Paramount Lovely Bones with 2 disk oop. That never really price dropped but ended up getting the US 2 disk very cheaply.

The Rock

US disc has audio commentary, UK release does not, despite what the cover says.

Also pretty sure that the UK release of Super is void of extras,(plus 1080i/50hz), while the US disc is nicely kitted out.

Underworld:Rise of The Lycans

PiP track is missing from UK release.

Pretty sure the UK release of 'About A Boy' is one of Universal's more lazy releases. No extras and even the menus are stripped back ie, theres a picture of a 'play' button instead of just saying play etc

Yes and I believe that the US disc will have extras.

@mrpants

Are you going to edit your post in order to update the list?

[blu_sharpy]

Definitely Maybe needs to be added to the list. Another beyond lazy disc from Universal.
