Compared are the Theatrical Version and the Extended Version (both available on the German by Blu-ray by Universal Pictures)
- 26 differences, incl. 12x alternate footage - Length difference: 299.3 sec (= 4:59 min) On Valentine's Day 2018, Fifty Shades Freed was released. After an acceptable first one, the sequel basically focussed on superficial housewife dreams and the final one does pretty much the same thing, accompanied by some standard pop songs. At least, the movie grossed $380 million which is once again a lot less than the original made but still enough to call it a success. While author E. L. James has written a few more books, time will tell whether or not further screen adaptions are an option. As usual, the home theater releases contain a longer version. The Unrated Version of the first installment is approx. 3 minutes longer (comparison) and most of the footage are a few (rather harmless) sex scenes. In the Unrated Version of the second installment (comparison) are a few of these as well but most of the additional 13.5 minutes consist of new scenes for some minor characters. The final installment of the trilogy is approx. 5 minutes longer. And as before, there are a few longer sex scenes - but once again, the new footage is not really worth mentioning. If anything, Christian's strict directive during the first sex scene is somewhat interesting. Other than that, Christian and Ana in particular get more scenes. Contentwise, these scenes are incredibly mediocre though. The only thing worth pointing out is that there are two scenes with Grey's ex-girlfriend Elena "Mrs. Robinson" Lincoln, played by Kim Basinger, in the Unrated Version because she does not appear in the Theatrical Version at all. Her husband is in two scenes as well. Time index refers to Theatrical Version Blu-ray / Extended Version Blu-ray 02:40 / 02:40-02:54
