Has it been confirmed that part II is in fact the edited version?

Death Wish is real sweet.

No. The BD is rated R, so people are assuming it's the cut release. It might be, it might not be.

I really don't care. A couple of extended rape scenes aren't going to make or break a film to me.

Agreed. And not having Part I on Blu will in no way affect my enjoyment of these sequels. I would watch Part I in HD on VUDU but they aren't showing it in the correct aspect ratio (wtf?). Part V is truly awful and should never have happened.

My bad, apparently 1:85:1 IS the original ratio according to this site and Amazon. I could've sworn it was in 2:35:1! Now I can watch it with a clear conscience...

The DVD's were also full screen...so to watch these in Widescreen on BD is a plus. Alot of ppl seem very concerned about the whole edited/uncut version of Death Wish 2. Something tells me it'll still be the same edited theatrical version that the DVD presented, but knowing that these movies are getting released at all is the only important thing to me. At least we're getting it next month. I'm going to enjoy DW2 either way.

This is one issue that matters to me. Edited = no buy.

davidthenikonuser · 07-20-2012, 12:13 PM

I'm hoping DW2 will be the uncut version since MGM released Straw Dogs uncut, Dressed to Kill uncut, The Last House on the Left uncut, and the upcoming TCM2 will be uncut.

But all those were previously available uncut in the States on dvd, Im pretty sure. Would like to get the blus though. Dont really care if part 2 is uncut or not. I have a Death Wish dvd boxset from Australia that has all the films (including the uncut part 2) in anamorphic widescreen.

I was of the understanding that the extended rape scenes in #2 were gratuitous and have read that Bronson was furious about it when the film was released.

Viper187 · 07-23-2012, 04:07 PM

How does this make sense? Death Wish 2-4 are scheduled for next month but not the first or last? The 3rd one was always my favorite anyway, but damn. Should I be holding out for a complete set here or what?

That's beause Death Wish I is a Paramount title....

TheOneWithThePrize · 07-23-2012, 04:18 PM

The first is owned by Paramount, while II-III-IV are owned by MGM and V is owned by LionsGate. I wouldn't say a box set is completely out of the question but given the ownership I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Alphamale87 · 07-24-2012, 05:21 AM

Pre-ordered II and III. Doesn't look like II will be the uncut version, but I could care less. The DVD was the same thing and it doesn't look as if this uncut version is getting released anytime soon. Once the first Death Wish film is out that'll be it for me...don't care to own IV.

It's bizarre that MGM would decide to cut DW II for its blu-ray release, since the uncut version has been showing on MGM HD, Netflix, and Amazon Instant for awhile now.

all i can say is...

No confirmation yet about DWII or which cut it will be, Running time suggests the R-Rated, We will have to wait a few weeks to see!

I agree. If the uncut version is aired on MGM, HD, Netflix and Amazon, I don't see how they can't possibly put it on a home release either...but the back cover will be available closer to street date and we'll know what features come with it. Hopefully when released the main menu will have the option of viewing the theatrical or uncut version of the film...would make things alot better for everybody,

MSRP is now $16.99 for these. Deep Discount has the lowest price at $10.76 each. Plus you can get a 10% off code on your order by doing that share thing.
