Casino Royale (2006) (Collector's Edition)

[Crim122]

Do you think they changed anything PQ or AQ wise?

[JasonR]

What would there be to change???

[davcole]

Well they have added a TrueHD track (hopefully at 24bith). I'm not sure if they are carrying the PCM.

[Crim122]

Im basically wondering should I replace my CR blu ray for this one lol

[Lepidopterous]

I wouldn't. It's just an excuse to sell more copies around the date of Quantum of Solace, and to get more people who haven't been in tune with the new bond to go see that in theaters.

I'm a total sucker for this movie and will definitley be double dipping. With this and the other bond blu-rays all coming with QoS tickets, my family and I will all get in for free!

Only worth buying if you have the censored US disc, and this re-release happens to magically be uncut.

What would be censored? And how would I find out if I have that one?

I think all US copies had small cuts of violence. An example was during the fight on the stairs, it doesn't show the body landing. I know there's more though.

[BirdManJr]

This is a good thing...They should lower the price on the original version and thats the version to buy...Unless you like throwing away money for extras.

From DVDCompare:

CUTS:

* Bluray A America- Sony Pictures Home Entertainment - Pre-cut (MPAA) "PG-13 Theatrical" release (144:12 min). Cut-list as follows (all info by Michael Mackenzie/Whiggles):
- After an overhead shot of Bond and the contact smashing down a wall, the first and last few frames of a shot of Bond elbowing the contact in the chest are removed.
- Directly after, a shot Bond smashing the door into the contact's face is completely removed.
- After Bond gets to his feet, he kicks the contact in the face. This is missing from the US version.
- Directly after, we see Bond grabbing the contact, who in turn grabs a garbage can, which he hurls at Bond. In the US version, we only get the last few frames of this.
- When Bond hauls the contact to his feet and manouevres him towards another sink, the start of a low angle shot showing the contact's face as he struggles is cut.
- The drowning of the contact is dramatically shortened. First, a close-up of the contact as he is held under is replaced with a shot of the contact's legs kicking.
- Directly after, a close-up of Bond's intense face is removed.
- Following this, we cut back to the contact as his struggles weaken. This is missing in the US version.
- The high shot showing Obanno's bodyguard hitting the ground below after being thrown over the banister is removed. This shot is placed between Bond and Obanno fighting.
- A close-up of Obanno as Bond smashes his head into a window, shattering it, is missing from US version.
- Directly after, a wider shot of Obanno recovering and attacking again is cut due to the previous trim.
- The first few frames of Obanno being thrown into a wall are missing in the US version.
- Obanno grabbing Vesper's leg as she tries to run away is completely removed.
- The following shot of Vesper falling but stopping herself in time is cut due to the previous shot's removal.
- After we see Vesper try to open the emergency exit, a wide shot of Bond shoving Obanno back is missing from the US version.
- Directly following, a wide shot of BG2 falling back is also missing.
- Afterwards, Obanno reacting as Bond kicks him is too cut.
- Obanno rams Bond against the wall, but not in the US version.
- When Bond and Obanno struggle on the floor, Bond chokes BG2. The second angle of Obanno's feet kicking is removed.
- After we see Obanno's face, we see him reaching for the gun on the ground. Missing from the US version.
- A wider shot of them struggling is cut directly after.
- The next shot, Obanno reaching for the gun again, is cut. In the US version, we only see Obanno reaching for the gun just before Vesper intervenes.
- A shot of frightened Vesper breaks a shot of Obanno's legs starting to stop kicking. In the uncut version, the legs starting to slow is in one continuous shot, followed by the frightened Vesper shot.

The first release already had lossless audio.

Also, there are already threads about this new release.

[ToEhrIsHuman]

I will only purchase this double-dip if the excised violence is restored (as it should be.) 24-bit audio would be a nice bonus though.

[Red Hood]

I like my copy to much to doubledip.

[#Darren]

Will this one be region free?

[dadkins]

Double dip? No.
Might pick this one up though - I don't have Casino Royale... yet.

[Red Hood]

no to the dd
