Difference Between Blu-ray "Funny Games" Releases - Blu-ray Forum

J_UNTITLED · 05-12-2008, 11:02 PM

So, apparently, there are going to be some extras/bonus material included on the European Blu-ray release of this year's "Funny Games" redux but this material will be absent from the U.S. version... what's up with that?

As a fan of special features, that truly bites.

If it gets a NORTH AMERICAN release (why does it always have to be U.S.??? Canada doesn't count?) I'm sure that it will get the same material. If not, then I will be importing it. I love Tim Roth's acting style and I love any material that lets me appreciate his abilities to the fullest extent possible.

Rent at best. I can think of a million other things I'd rather do than being preached at for two hours about enjoying films that contain violence.

I've been pretty busy this month so havent got round to picking gta4 up but next month i will be spending my time doing that!

I think Funny Games can best be summed up with this 1 minute review by a pretty funny british film critic (Mark Kermode) on his radio show (recorded and put on youtube):

You'll be importing it then sadly as (again) the U.S. Blu-ray release will not include any extras, period.
