Eight versions of the film:
Warner Archive Master: Unrated, Unrated (zoomed), R rated, R-Rated (zoomed)

Alternative HD version: Unrated, Unrated (zoomed), R rated, R-Rated (zoomed)

8 different versions - how is that possible?
In the Warner master, an iconic scene was zoomed in heavily because equipment could be seen in the image. Eight different versions were placed on the discs using seamless branching. Seamless branching is a process that allows multiple cuts of a film to be placed on a DVD or Blu-ray disc to save space. Not all versions are on the disc in their entirety, but rather the main part common to all of these versions and the scenes that differ from each other. During playback, the playback device switches without interruption within these "branched" data paths and merges them "seamlessly" into the selected cut version.

Shame they don't ship to the UK. Would anyone in Germany be able to order me a copy?

I asked Plaion if I'm okay with ordering three copies of this. I don't want to get cancelled when they start shipping. If it's okay, I can help you out. I'll send you a PM once I got a reply (since it's Saturday, maybe Monday then..)

Amazing, thank you for trying for me, hopefully they are ok with it but if not I appreciate the effort.

I wonder if the unrated scenes will be inserts from another source? I know Germany does have an unrated HD master they stream, I think the one I seen was from Amazon.

Apparently not, what's from another source is the "unzoomed" shot of Dolph jumping-kicking above the car. But you'll be able to choose between this one and the zoomed one which will be from the same master as the rest of the film.

Plaion rarely list english subtitles. I would be grateful if someone can check this for me when they get this release. Thanks in advance.

Muyfa666 · 10-15-2024, 08:03 AM

Plaion confirmed no english subs. Aww. :-(

I don't think they would admit it even if you contacted them via e-mail or social media. I recall others have had the same experience.

I did contact them to get this info, but you are right, they usually never confirm such a thing.

So, first person to get it, please report on the subs.

FantasticMrFox · 10-16-2024, 02:31 PM

Release date pushed back two weeks to November 7.

Plaion shares an unboxing that’s only helpful to get a glimpse of the packaging:

@FantasticMrFox

Thanks for confirming the subs. Placed my order!

Have you compared the different cuts to which one is best? :-)

KarmaNL · 10-15-2024, 08:28 AM

so which version is the one to watch?

navydavey · 10-15-2024, 01:32 PM

I'm gunna' go for the unrated alternate HD version initially I reckon.

Been a long time since I've seen this one so looking forward to watching it, hopefully the lack of English subtitles doesn't affect anything when choosing the English language option (eg. Chinese text not being translated - thinking it's probably not an issue with this film though).

TheOneWithThePrize · 11-05-2024, 04:53 PM

Mine is scheduled to arrive at my place of work tomorrow, can't wait.
