Don't know if it's been posted here yet, but the Blu-ray Die Hard pack IS going to include LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD now...albeit still the PG-13 version.

Die Hard Collection Blu-Ray (4 Discs)
SRP: $129.98

Street Date: 20/Nov/07

Disc 1: DIE HARD BLU-RAY
Disc 2: DIE HARDER BLU-RAY
Disc 3: DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE BLU-RAY
Disc 4: LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD BLU-RAY

Nothing has been confirmed from Fox yet.

Maybe Fox was reading all of the negative posts about nobody wanting to buy the PG-13 version of LFODH and said, "Want the other 3 Die Hard Movies? Now you have to buy the fourth".

At least Fox is giving us a price break on this set, since the average price of each film is "only" around $32.50 instead of the usual $39.99.

stofferdk · 09-14-2007, 09:42 PM

PG-13 can suck my arse. christ.

what the hell is the deal FOX?

and IF Fox DID read about the PG-13 issue, why the #€(%/#)/ then just not release the unrated one instead of a box set only of the first three?

owa · 09-14-2007, 10:08 PM

Hopefully that's true. I was kind of wondering why the boxset didn't include all 4 especially since Live Free or Die Hard is supposed to be released at the same time.

supersix4 · 09-14-2007, 10:10 PM

wow so they say F*** ten times instead of one, unless there is drastic change in the directors cut or w/e Im fine with the set

LynxFX · 09-14-2007, 10:12 PM

Kinda glad as well since it will probably give us a price break, plus it is silly having a box set with 3 films, then the fourth sitting byitself on the shelf. I think people are making way to much out of this PG-13/unrated cut. The PG-13 was plenty 'Die Hard' in the theater and not a single person has seen the so called 'unrated' cut. There is a big probability that it isn't much different than the PG-13 version. Hell Bruce Willis said himself that they went out and shot the film they wanted, no preconceived rating in mind, it just turned out to be PG-13. I bet this whole unrated thing is a studio PR stunt after the backlash of the lower rating.

It would be nice if Fox put out the box set and all the films individually. Best of both worlds.

Same here man. And most of these scenes they add back in are pointless and obvious. The Patriot pissed me off, I would've much rather had a Theatrical Cut on Blu-Ray than the extended cut. They used the same score cue 3 or 4 times in the movie, and then that ruined the scene it was actually meant for. I think there was only one scene that they added that I liked and thought was appropriate.

ClaytonMG · 09-14-2007, 10:14 PM

Also, for those who don't know why the Blu-Ray is getting the theatrical cut instead of the unrated cut, it's because they hadn't finished the unrated cut yet when they started manufacturing the Blu-Ray.

u_nick · 09-15-2007, 12:03 AM

my problem is movie #2... dont want it on my shelf! lol.

Loved 4

Madd_Dawg · 09-15-2007, 12:13 AM

Lol... Same with me. The second movie is one I have no interest in having but won't stop me from purchasing this.

dobyblue · 09-15-2007, 01:16 AM

It should be about $88 on Amazon.
I've got no problem buying all four, I was intending too anyway.
I thought two and three were great flicks.

Stuart_Larkin · 09-15-2007, 01:41 AM

yes yes i want the uncut version too.
But still going to buy this box set without a complaint. Though I hated Die Hard 2, I'd still own it anyhow.

Gamma_Winstead · 09-15-2007, 01:55 AM

when i saw lFODH in the theater i did not even know it was pg-13. you guys are making to much out of it.

Canada · 09-15-2007, 02:29 AM

Fox should release the Die Hard's as a box set and individually

1. It would be better for Blu Ray because some people who don't want all of them could buy them individually

2. Better for Fox

I agree, I don't know how many unrated versions I have seen that weren't noticably different, or just added some worthless scenes that were better left out. Just becuase it is "un-rated" doesn't mean it will be any more mature. As the scenes cut out could just be Bruce walking down a hallway or something, that just wasn't there when the theatrical version was rated.

Agree.

lgans316 · 09-15-2007, 04:12 AM

Japan release on Nov'2007. Pics attached. Not sure if it's PG-13.

ben7ben3 · 09-15-2007, 04:32 AM

cut scenes in action movie are usually cut for a reason, and they don't really add anything if added back in for an "unrated" cut

the only time an unrated cut really makes a difference is in comedies like wedding crashers, knocked up, 40 year old virgin, because the extra scenes are often funny (but actually also often aren't)

so stop whining about getting the "pg13 version"...what the hell is wrong with all of you, i saw that in theaters and it was amazing, and i am not going to wait to get a different one just because it has 5 scenes that were cut

supersix4 · 09-15-2007, 05:09 AM

there is nothing from maybe the 100+ unrated/ directors cut's movies I own that would make me say OMG thank god I bought the unrated version, Yeah I dont mind having the extra F***'s and stuff in but come on, there is no way that 5-30 minutes of "unrated" footage changes an entire movie. And no reason the etxra head falling off or f*** makes that much difference lol.

Buy the box set then sell the 4th individually. People are making a huge deal out of nothing. Until we know what the differences are between the theatrical & unrated versions, why badmouth it? Feels like I'm surrounded by kids who are ashamed to buy a movie based solely on the PG-13 rating, thus demand the unrated version...

Here's a tip for anyone out there - "UNRATED" DOES NOT MEAN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RATED R IN THE THEATERS!

Bullseye · 09-15-2007, 06:42 AM

Is there a release date for Europe?
