Once Upon a Time in America (1984) (Extended Director's Cut) - Page 33 - Blu-ray Forum

What happened to this? My best buy order was stuck for a month then cancelled, and now every version of it is going for crazy prices..

I believe the 2-disc version that comes with the new extended edition and the original blu-ray release on two separate blu-ray discs is now out of print. I suggest looking at stores like FYE, Barnes and Noble, and Rasputin's to see if they have it on the shelf still. I got mine yesterday at Rasputin's for $30 new. FYE and Rasputin's also carry used blu-rays and you might be able to find it used for cheaper. Side note, for $25 new, Rasputin's also had the extended director's cut single disc release that came out a few months ago, which seems to be impossible to find at Best Buy or Amazon. Both sites list it as "temporarily unavailable", but it has been listed as this forever. It seems like they just aren't printing enough discs, similar to the Witness blu-ray situation. So, if you really want to see this movie on blu-ray disc and don't want to pay crazy ebay prices for out of print discs, I'd try FYE, Barnes and Noble, and Rasputin's.

The Collector's edition is OOP.

The extended cut only is now distributed by Fox :

Region Coding

Does anybody know if this Fox edition is region free/Region B compatible?

chris1234 · 11-29-2015, 07:04 AM

I don't know anyone who has purchased the Fox release but the back of the BD insert says it is restricted to Region A.

[Show spoiler]

That's standard practice from Fox

Any difference in content between the collectors edition and the fox 2 disc blu ray?

Ray Jackson · 02-18-2016, 08:58 PM

This movie is in my all time top ten.

...but no way I was ever going to pay extra dough for a small handful of deleted scenes put back in the movie that weren't that great to begin with.

Sold my Limited Collector's Edition for a ton of money.

And then picked up the identical regular 2-disc release during a Fox Connect sale.

Needless to say, it was a decision I was very happy with.

I prefer the cover art on this one.

I think I'm also with you on that.

Still have that first release from Warners. Couldn't part with it even though the 2-disc Boxset that was released later by Warners had the same cut included with the Extended Director's cut.

Opips3 · 02-19-2016, 04:11 AM

I'm not buy it. I waiting to see on UltraHD 4K. I know this film was 35mm.

What great news. One of the best announcements in blu-ray history.
Best film of the 80's

Best film of the 80s for sure. Sorry Raging bull and Berlin Alexanderplatz, I love you both but Leone's masterpiece cannot be denied.

Once Upon a Time in America and the first 2 Godfather films are the indispensable crime epics of movie history, in my opinion. Leone's movie is so ambitious and sprawling and meticulously produced that very few other movies come close. There are many scenes that feel eerily poetic, and Ennio Morricone's haunting score make those scenes unforgettable. Even Scorsese's films like Goodfellas and Gangs of New York somehow don't feel as important and sweeping as Leone's film. It really is a shame that we'll never get a pristine version of Leone's original 4+ hour cut, but I'm really pleased with Warner's extended cut, even with the altered color and poor quality of the added scenes.

Just picked this up on Amazon. Having recently revisited "The Godfather" I've been on a crime film kick and can't wait to see this one again! It's been at least 15 years...

timcat4843 · 05-04-2016, 11:41 PM

Just placed my order with Amazon.

Initially, I went to Best Buy to get them to do a PM, but of course, they didn't stock it.
A true blue movie classic and they don't even bother to have it in store.

Typical of crappy Best Buy.

BTW - Is this flick on backorder?

On my order, it stated "Delivery date not yet available."

jrmac2000 · 05-07-2016, 10:13 PM

I was just able to score a brand new sealed copy of the collectors edition for 18 bucks!
