Comparison:

  • Theatrical Version
  • Unrated Director's Cut
Release: May 07, 2008 - Author: Herr Koemmlich - Translator: enemy - external link: IMDB
Comparison between the Theatrical Release (PG-13) and the Director's Cut (Unrated). Both version were represented by the German DVDs (Buena Vista/Touchstone).

Four years after the first DVD release the Director's Cut with 9 Minutes of more footage has been published. A large part of these extensions are additional shots of the final car chase between Memphis Raines and the police. Other than that there's more dialogue with vulgar content. The most relevant change concerns the character of Kip. In the theatrical cut he's just a loser while in the unrated version he's one step shy of being a complete social wreck. Last to mention are some exchanged shots of a love making couple.

Running time of the Theatrical Version 1:53:07 min. with credits
Running time of the Director's Cut: 2:02:14 min. with credits
Edited scenes: 45
Alternate scenes: 7
Running time of the edited scenes: 598 sec.

Since the DVDs used for this comparison are from Germany all time specifications are in PAL. Aside from that all dialogue in this cut report has been re-translated into English from the German comparison and thus may differ from the original spoken dialogue in the film. Some of the pictures used still have German subtitles in them.
