I'd actually like to be able to choose between the theatrical cut and the unrated version. The unrated version is roughly the same thing expect for the intro sequence that is MUCH longer - way too long actually. The theatrical cut's intro is perfect. It's to your face, it's sexy, it's energetic... it sucks you in and starts the movie. The unrated cut sucks you in and then drags you for soooo long that you loose interest before the movie actually starts.

The German bluray already has the unrated cut and all the extra footage is lower res. Pretty distracting.

I still want the unrated cut for the sake of having it but the best way to enjoy the movie is definitely to watch the theatrical cut.

What I like the most about the German unrated cut is the 4:3 retro version that is offered which is true open matte. I found the unrated footage to be less distracting on this version

Is this the German blu-ray you're talking about?

It looks like it just came out last week. I'd be interested if it is indeed the unrated cut (regardless of lo-res).

It is. There was an identical Futurepak release before that.

Yep. I have the steelbook version of it but I'm assuming the disc is the same. This cover is pretty badass.

I'm a huge Pam Anderson fan and I fully agree with this. I've watched both versions of Barb Wire more times than the average person and there's no real difference between the two other than the intro and a few brief glimpses of other girls in the club. The theatrical version is a much better paced cut of the film but having both on an updated disc with all the features ported would be great. Maybe with her new popularity someone will rerelease it.

Been wanting to add this to my collection for ages and keep debating whether to pick up the German release. Hoepfully Mill Creek can make this the definitive release. I like the cover art for this one.

Mill Creek and "definitive release" should never share the same sentence! Most of MC stuff, esp their versions of existing movies already on BD are the same, just stripped of features and often lossless audio tracks too. Although, recent output looks like they are fixing the audio issues and going lossless more than not now. But, they are a bargain disc company, don't do SE's, and certainly don't do definitive versions.

That's a shame; I'm not familiar with their other releases. Fingers crossed this turns out OK; if not I'll look to pick up the German version.

Pamela Anderson wasn't even good in that! She can't act, and she has no talent and I don't know how she became famous anyhow.

time to go to the eye doctor then. she isn't a good actress but isn't horrible considering what roles she had. it's not "hard" to figure out her appeal.

What appeal. Everything about her is fake. Thank God for plastic surgeries and breast augmentations.

nothing in movies is "real" so i guess you could say she is a marvel of "special fx" to each his own. obviously she had a great deal of appeal to a lot of people. not you but you are just one person with an opinion.

When Mill Creek is the one releasing a movie or series never get your hopes up. It’s better to have low standards when it comes to a Mill Creek.
