It was an interesting surprise to see Xavier "Django Fett". I thought this would have a bit more sci fi in it. But for the price, I thought it was worth it.

Sounds like the blu is indeed the R-cut by what you just said. Here's what is cut, which sounds like most of the nudity.
I hated this movie back in the day, but have this morbid curiosity to re-visit it now like 15 years later. Guess I'll have to find an unrated dvd. Ironically I never see this in the free bins at the used stores (I have passed on Catwoman from those, 3 times!) and that's about the price point I'm looking for.

But if you just want to see Pam naked, there's no shortage of material. Many Playboy spreads, 2 sex tapes, a couple other bad movies (Snapdragon or Naked Souls) and with the internet, all can be seen with a simple search. You don't have to resort to this movie is what I'm getting at.

Am I the only one who actually read the Barb Wire comics before this abomination of a film came out? I honestly thought the movie had a chance to be alright, before seeing it.

Well, just seeing Pam nude, wasn't it. It was seeing Pam nude in a cheezy sci-fi movie. To the gent above, nice photoshop! I was intentionally spelling "Django" that way as a kind of nerdy joke,...in the Star Wars extras or commentaries, Lucas refers to Boba Fett as "The man with no name", so I figured his naming the character Jango was a deliberate reference to the Django character.

I see there are UK and DE blu-rays listed as "uncut" but I know German releases called "uncut" are often just the R rated version, since they used to cut even more than the Americans. The run-time is listed as shorter here, which could be an error, but a SHORTER version with MORE NUDITY (or violence even) would be a good thing, as it was a bit of a slog to sit through this. Has anyone seen these blus?
EDIT: translated a user review for the German BD and it is the R version. Doesn't look like there's an uncut one out there, anyone know?

None of the blu-rays have the unrated cut, but here are the details of what the differences are (none of them shorten anything):

Just by reading this thread (and watching some clips on YT), I'm interested too in revisiting this. Last time I saw this was on VHS (which was unrated in my country).

How about this release then?

It does say "unrated" instead of the usual "uncut" on German releases.
