just burnt another hole in the cc... lol

Baise Moi R2 - another good french one.
The Killer R2 - Chow kicks ass.
The Samurai Trilogy Box Set R2 - I love samaurai.
Highlander: The Immortal Edition R1 - always wanted it on DVD
A Better Tomorrow Trilogy (DTS/3 Disc Set) R0 - Chow kicks more ass
Face R3 - another Asian spooky
Predator 2: Collector's Edition DTS R1 - been on my wishlist for months.
Haute Tension Uncut R3 - got the R2 supposedly uncut last week, but was cut, by at least 3 minutes.
Shaolin Soccer: Ultimate R3 - got Kung Fu Hustle last week, really enjoyed it, so got this.

What R2 "Haute Tension" did you get?

As all versions availabale now are uncut, including the recent UK release.

The Optimum Releasing R2 Switchblade Romance version, had a total runtime of 88 mins in my dvd player, but the case info and imdb said 91 minutes.

The R3 version is the Dae Gyung South Korean Uncut one, as above 91 minutes, so I'll check to compare when it arrives. Either way one version I'll pass onto my brother, who's interested.

Explain please R2 and R3?

The world has been split up into DVD 'regions'. Different regioned DVDs will only play in a DVD player that corresponds with the region code of a particular DVD. Unless you have a region free DVD player or run region free software on your Pc, then you'll be able to play any region DVD film

:)

Yeah, but that would be Theatrical running time. You lose roughly 4 minutes for every hundred so 88 minutes would be about right.

The 'Optimum' release is actually one of the best, especially with the extras.

Seams strange, I've checked a couple of other longer R2 films, and the total playtime was pretty much the same as the cover info run time. There may be some discrepancy with what was printed in the info on different versions. I'm glad I've order the R3 one now, I'm interested to see what it's runtime will be in my player.

I see. Thanks for explaining Shanks!
