My absolute favorite version is the U.S. Theatrical Version

I have the box set on DVD and the US Cut in Bluray.

Where is the Final Cut available? Id love to see it.

BladeRunner2007 · 03-05-2010, 09:45 PM

It's only available in Germany and it only contains a german audio track. They mixed all three versions together and so you have a lot of different music cues and the pacing is terribly off. The editing is horrendous, too. This "Ultimate Final Cut" raped the movie!

Ah! Thanks for the heads up. I guess Ill stick with the box set then.

Id still love to see a complete intact version with all the footage though since the Argento version has scenes not in the US cut and the extended US cut.

I went with the theatrical version

I enjoyed the european cut Goblin rules.

Is there a detailed breakdown on the differences between the argento version and the regular version?

miller_time22 · 12-13-2010, 08:30 PM

European cut

TLeeTx2012 · 04-22-2011, 04:16 PM

U.S. Theatrical Version.

The European / Argento Cut loses too much. The Extended Version is bloated and drags. U.S. is juuust right!

I normally prefer longer cuts of films, but for some reason I've always preferred the Argento cut of this. It's probably partly due to having more Goblin.

Haven't seen the 'Ultimate Final Cut', but I've heard from several sources including on here that it's a mess, and I can't see that not being the case.
