The important thing with this film is that there’s an Unrated cut and a DIFFERENT director’s cut. Director’s cut is the best.

Looking at the back cover of Saw IV, I think we’ll be getting the theatrical cuts with these editions. They may not have been able to find the materials for the uncut portions.

Yikes!

I would’ve ordered these except for the missing unrated cuts. That’s a shame

[pi2loc]

Dang it, no unrated no buy. Bummer. I love these terrible films.

What is with Lionsgate just doing the R-rated cuts with these limited steelbooks? Last week it was The Devil's Rejects and now Saw II through IV. There's 1080p versions of every single film available everywhere? Is it really hard to just splice in some of the unrated footage? Not even including them on the blu-ray at the bare minimum is just ridiculous.

we dont need the unrated footage to be from the negative! Just upscale the existing DI! **** sake. OR just give the option on the disk to watch theatrical or unrated with lower resolution inserts.

Exactly. They can literally just upscale it from the previous blu-ray? This isn’t a silent night deadly night situation where the unrated footage is from a vhs source. So lazy.

No unrated, no sale.

It doesn't say unrated on the front of the slip, but the Amazon product details indicate it's unrated.

the back of the slip says otherwise...

I just posted in the Saw II thread, but I'll say here as well (maybe the more Lionsgate sees this, they may actually change it up) but without the unrated cuts, these are not worth it.

The first one has the unrated cut, why wouldn't they continue with the rest of the series? makes no sense

Because the first one is the only entry to have a 100% photochemical finish and I believe the movie was already remastered in 4K back in 2014 for the 10th anniversary theatrical re-release which happened to be the unrated cut. Since the 4K of the first used what was clearly an interpositive, it's possible that the OCN would be conformed to the theatrical cut and the interpositive they used was conformed to the unrated cut.

The unrated cuts for the sequels were 100% finished for home video and would have to be rebuilt from scratch if Lionsgate wanted to include them, unlike the theatrical cuts which would have conformed film elements.

Well... that certainly answered my question!

Nope, completely wrong. The 10th Anniversary re-release not only used the old transfer but it was the R-rated cut as well, the 4K was done much later when Spiral came out.

It's unclear at this point. I was basing my comment off what is listed in the product details on the Amazon page. It says this is you scroll down:

Product details

MPAA rating: Unrated (Not Rated)

I guess we will have to wait to know for sure.

The Amazon listing saying ‘unrated’ has nothing to do with whether the steelbook actually contains the unrated cut, thats just the MPAA rating!
The proof is on the back cover if it shows the unrated cut there, that’s what it is.

Regardless of what cut it is, your statement is contradictory. You say that "unrated" is the MPAA rating, yet the image on the back of the sleeve, which is determined by the MPAA, says it's "R rated."
