The UNRATED cut is only 8 seconds longer and most of those 8 seconds was color corrected shots because in the theatrical cut, they had make all of the photograph shots in black & white. I read that the Blu-ray release is the Unrated cut that was slipped in by accident instead of the theatrical.

Yeah, i noticed that both the r rated and unrated are pretty much the same running time on Saw, a few slighty different scenes, just they did with the r rated and unrated versions of Robocop, both cuts pretty much run the same amount of time!

ok guys thanks for your help. Was just making sure the discs were identical.

Actually Saw was one of the launch titles from Lionsgate which did not have the silver "shiny" artwork. A few of the launch titles were reissued at a later point with the new shiny cover. Saw, T2 and The Punisher spring to mind.

OTOH, Resevoir Dogs was released with the shiny cover and then a later printing dropped it and just used the artwork.

A couple of short scenes are removed in the unrated cut and minor editing and music choices but you'll be hard pushed to spot the difference. The German issue is currently the best available, English friendly and a good helping of extras http://www.amazon.de/Saw-US-Director...7165391&sr=1-2
