Huh, I like the inside

Let's hope it is the longer international version and not the US cut with all the Christian Slater scenes missing.

wjasoncul · 04-10-2015, 01:48 PM

Yeah baby!!! That makes me randy!!

Smigro · 04-10-2015, 02:01 PM

I don't mind Zavvi stepping up their game, but what is it going to cost with all the goodies?

I don't Zavvi doing this, but if they are going to add goodies the price will probably rise also...if that is the case they really need to slow down on the amount of steelbooks they release.

That being said I am liking this one and will probably pick it up...brings back memories of senior week '98.

[Show spoiler]

LOL at that image.

As for the artwork, it is not the best but what I like is that since it only says Austin Powers you cold swap it out with a 3 disc tray and house the complete trilogy (which is what I would probably do).

Troll2fan · 04-10-2015, 02:23 PM

I'd get this if the inner art was the actual steel art, but I'll be passing on this one.

henry00x · 04-10-2015, 02:52 PM

that art is atrocious

It will be. The UK Blu is the international cut, with Christian Slater, Rob Lowe and Lois Chiles' appearances all intact, as well as the correct pause between "P.u.s.s.y..." and "...cat". Not to mention the different cryogenically-frozen celebrities. Oh, and it's framed at 2.35:1, losing the distracting foot-room from the American editions.

This release is just a redressing of the previous edition, so buy with confidence.

BTW, isn't the automated censorship on this b*ll*cks? Anyone living in s.c.u.n.t.h.o.r.p.e has a really difficult time with it...

I am not going to lie...I never knew of this version. This will be like watching the movie for the first time I guess?

DarkEco910 · 04-10-2015, 04:57 PM

Should've been a trilogy steelbook. I would've bitten then.

Sticking with my slipcovered trilogy pack I got for $10.

maximus14 · 04-10-2015, 05:03 PM

cool, been waiting for this!

Oops! Just checked and you're certainly right on that one!

Now not so sure that it will be the international version, as the standard Blu packaging and that of their upcoming DVD release are exact to the old US New Line disc - even the flash across the top looks like it. The possibility is that they have just licensed the US HD transfer and gotten the extras (for there was nothing on the UK one) and artwork rights as sweeteners.

Until some more detailed info comes around, it's all speculation and something with which to pass the time at work.

Just Jimmy · 04-10-2015, 05:40 PM

geez you people that are saying the artwork is atrocious are snobs.

TheCollector86 · 04-10-2015, 05:49 PM
