Point Break edition differences?

[Rafdog]

So I recently borrowed the movie 'Point Break' (Blu-ray) from a buddy of mine, and his version says 'Pure Adrenaline Edition' but I don't see the difference between this edition and the regular non-edition one.

My question is this: what's the difference between the two versions of the film? The only thing I can thing of is that the movie is 2 hours and 2 minutes, and on iMDB.com it says it's only 2 hours (120 mins). Could those extra 2 minutes be the 'Pure Adrenaline' of this 'Pure Adrenaline Edition'? (Edit: Never mind that part. Both versions are 122 minutes.) Or does this version basically just give you more bonus content the original non-special edition Blu-ray version doesn't give you?

Thanks in advance for anyone who replies.

To my knowledge the content is identical, just an issue of the rights going to a different distributor.

Yes, the Pure Adrenaline Edition was released July 2008 by 20th Century Fox while you're "Regular Edition" was re-released by Warner Bros last June. At one point this movie was listed in the "hard to find OOP blus" thread here...

Ah, I see. All right, thanks to both of you. A mod can lock this up.

I'm pretty sure the only difference content wise is that the first "Pure Adrenaline Edition" included a still photo gallery whereas the re-release dropped that feature. Other than that, they're identical.

Other than dropping a couple of photo galleries I think the main difference is the Fox was a BD-50 while the new Warner is squeezed onto a BD-25.

Which is better, BD-50 or BD-25? Also, does the Pure Adrenaline Edition have the Fox fanfare at the start of the movie?

In theory BD-50 would. In theory.

The Fox edition has the OG stereo mix in 4.0.

Warner dropped it.

Both versions have a 5.1 mix which may (or may not?) be from the 70mm 6-track.

I don't know if it's true or not but I've heard single layer discs have one barcode around the inner hole and dual layer discs have two barcodes. I have the Warner edition of this and this site says it is a single layer disc but when I look around the hole I see 2 barcodes, 030001 and 050001. Unless these numbers aren't the barcodes, I don't know. There's other numbers on there so small I can't make out. And the Warner release from the same year in the UK and Australia says BD50 on this site. Confusing.

Each disc layer has it's own inner ring. Are the two numbers on the same inner ring or on two separate rings moving further out from the center hub?

It looks like 2 rings to me but gotta admit my eyesight when it comes to looking at things up close is not the best. I got out Point of No Return as well cuz I know that is a bd25 and it looks different to me and I could find only one number on it. Used reading glasses and to my 52 year old eyes Warner's 2011 Point Break looks like 2 rings and Point of No Return looks like 1 ring. And doesn't make sense to me why Warner would have done it as a bd50 in Australia and UK but a bd25 in America. That's what got me started looking at it cuz I saw the UK version stats that came out just a few months later of the same year and thought wtf. It seems to me this site saying it's a bd25 is a misprint.
