The never ending parody saga Scary Movie became more and more dull and pointless with its ongoing releases. The original concept of lampooning especially well-known horror movies has been extremely watered down in the fourth installment. The film was released in both the theatrical and the unrated version on DVD. As the theatrical cut has been rated “PG-13” by the MPAA (for crude and sexual humor throughout, some comic violence and language), the unrated version basically contains all the material that would have been too much for the rating. It makes the movie more slippery but definitely doesn’t help making it better.

Comparison between the PG-13-Rated theatrical version (PG-13 US-DVD from Dimension/Miramax) and the Unrated version (Unrated US-DVD from Dimension/Miramax).

Tom: ”But this is different. This is a war.“
Oliver: ”No, it’s an extermination. It’s no more of a war than there’s a war between men and maggots, or dragons and wolves, or men riding dragons throwing wolves at maggots. Dammit Tom, can’t you understand what I’m trying to tell you? These aliens must have a weakness. I heard that the Japs killed a few of them over in Kikkoman.“
Tom: ”Kikkoman. That’s a soy sauce.“
Oliver: ”Right, yeah. Low sodium. What I’m saying is you and I should be fighting these things. We should come up from under the ground. When we build our tripods, they’ll have four legs."

Tom: ”Of course I’m afraid.“
Oliver: “I’m not. I’ve been around death plenty. Used to drive an ambulance in the city. But apparently, I wasn’t a very strong driver. It seems I was killing more people than I was saving. Something about the siren got me excited. Wham! Carnage.“
Tom: ”But this is different. This is a war.“
Oliver: ”No, it’s an extermination. It’s no more of a war than there’s a war between men and maggots, or dragons and wolves, or men riding dragons throwing wolves at maggots. Dammit Tom, can’t you understand what I’m trying to tell you? These aliens must have a weakness. I heard that the Japs killed a few of them over in Kikkoman.“
Tom: “Kikkoman. That’s a soy sauce.“
Oliver: “Right, yeah. Low sodium. What I’m saying is you and I should be fighting these things. We should come up from under the ground. Of course, we’ll have to bury ourselves first, but it’ll be worth it. Cool breeze, no sunblock, worms. When we build our tripods, they’ll have four legs. I gotta show you something."
Oliver takes a grid off the wall.
”We’ll tunnel up from behind and scare the piss out of them.“
He bites into the wall and spits out a piece.
”Wish we had some shovels, don’t you?“
