I saw NBK on it's UK Theatrical Run and Burn was there. I was a NIN fanboy at the time, so I noticed these things

I also noticed it the three times I saw it in the theater. Rather strange it's been removed.

Sorry to bump so many threads at once, but I have a weird question about NBK.

I was playing my 2014 Diamond Luxe Blu-ray last night, and found that while some soundtracks have "Burn" by Nine Inch Nails at the end, other ones have some generic stock music at the end.

For those who don't know or haven't heard the difference, a comparison can be heard here:

Natural born killers Original ending (NIN - burn) vs. New ending - YouTube

Can we all check our copies to see what's at the end? There might be some other unedited tracks out there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, sorry for bumping all these threads.

Edit 1: 2009 Blu-ray info provided by Jay H.

Edit 2: 1999 DVD now has correct date, I should've done more research there. Also, hungrywives provided the information on the 2001/2004 WHV DVDs (same disc, most likely the same disc as the 2007 DVD too) and the 1999 Trimark/200? Lionsgate DVD. hungrywives also provided me with the correct 1999 release date for the Trimark DVD, which I then verified on eBay. (It was released in 1999, but nearly every copy on eBay is erroneously listed as being from 2000.

Edit 3: 2001 VHS is updated, and 2023 4K is included.

Also, Agent Kay verified that the 1995 laserdisc's standard tracks are the original version, and the 1996 Pioneer laserdisc's standard tracks are edited.

There was a director's cut laserdisc planned by WB but it got cancelled, but so far I haven't seen any evidence of any test discs, files, transfers, etc that leaked. It's unknown how far that laserdisc actually got before it was cancelled.

^ 2009 Blu-ray (Original Uncut Version) - does not contain "Burn".

If I remember correctly, the Trimark DVD of the same cut did not have this song. I used to own this disc, but not for a while.

It's weird, the Trimark/Lionsgate DVDs were most likely taken from the same file used to do the Vidmark VHS. None have the song in the movie (they all have some generic tribal drum shit instead, same thing used during the alternate ending and throughout the workprint). All have the song as a special feature. I could never figure that out.

The scene itself is the same between the TC and DC, so why delete the song? Since Stone is on the 2009 intro (also on the 2014 Blu-ray) saying "all the music is correct finally", that just makes it even more confusing.
