4K UHD Blu-ray (original version) 
|
A brief comment on the old German DVD, as we compared this as well: The introductory logo differs here. Otherwise, the version is frame-accurate and identical to the old German Blu-ray and also the new 4K Blu-ray = regular original theatrical version.
The remixed version, on the other hand, starts with a 'remixed' image panel and an alternative reference to Starlight Films.
The following credits have also been revised, and music already starts playing in the remixed version.
00:23-00:24 / 00:23-04:05 While the remixed version begins with Moff's introductory words late in the sequence (which is slightly earlier than in the original, where another scene is shown alongside his voiceover), the original version introduces all the protagonists with their names displayed. This part has been moved to after the opening credits in the remixed version – more on that below. Additional material in the remixed version 00:40-00:41 / 04:22 The last shot of Moff before the opening credits is slightly longer in the remixed version. Incidentally, the new song is already mixed in here. + 1.3 sec
Alternative / Additional material in remixed version 00:41-02:07 / 04:22-06:29 The opening credits themselves are also designed differently: other shots of people celebrating and different fade-ins; in the original, these were always briely on a black background. In addition, the remixed version dispenses with all the black-and-white shots of political protests in between. The song accompanying it is also different: instead of Fatboy Slim's “Build It Up, Tear It Down,” mentioned in the intro, the song used here is “U Know Y” by Moguai, which was released in 2001 after the original theatrical release. Finally, only the original version features the title screen. Original version 35 seconds longer
Alternative 02:07-02:09 / 00:23-00:24 Now the characters are also introduced in the remixed version. The text panels have been replaced and the remixed version features a stylized zoom out from the shot of Jip. No time difference
Alternative 03:03-03:05 / 01:21-01:23 The same principle applies to Koop, of course... No time difference
Alternative 03:35-03:37 / 01:54-01:56 ...and Nina. No time difference
Alternative 04:22-04:23 / 02:43-02:45 Now Lulu. No time difference
Alternative 04:59-05:00 / 03:21-03:23 Lastly, Moff. No time difference
Additional material in the remixed version 05:41-06:00 / 04:05 As described in the introduction, the remixed version showed Moff's last words right at the beginning after the logos. At this point, the remixed version therefore concludes with a different, exclusive take of him proudly announcing the name of a newly conceived club anthem. This is followed by a separate title screen. + 19.4 sec
Alternative 06:00-06:08 / 06:29-06:37 The time displayed has been revised - or rather, a pseudo-modern yellow sticker has been placed over the old lettering that was burnt into the image. No time difference
Alternative 07:21-07:25 / 07:53-07:57 Same trick in the following scene with Lulu. No time difference
Alternative / Additional material in the remixed version 08:47-08:57 / 09:22-09:25 After the Jamaica comment, the remixed version shows another close-up of a butt, this time taking a drag from the joint. Lulu then comments that you can only really talk to a total of three people at college.
In the original version, Lulu and her friend are simply shown looking perplexed again at the end of the scene.
Remixed version 6.9 seconds longer Alternative / Additional material in remixed version 12:23-12:48 / 13:00-13:11 After Jip jokingly mentioned that he is raped by his boss, he talks about it in detail directly to the camera in the remixed version. He expresses himself in particularly angry terms (“fucked in the arses by the corporate wankers at the top”) and finally says that the Antichrist has long been living among them.
In the original version, there is an alternative shot of him in which he speaks way shorter (and therefore the scene feels more comedic) about the Antichrist off-screen.
Remixed version 14.1 seconds longer 14:02 / 14:29-16:07 While the remixed version continues immediately with Jip's drive to his mother's house, the original version first shows a scene with Moff. A voice-over comment explains that people like him, who don't have a job, end up dealing drugs. However, he is actually a nice guy, far removed from characters like Scarface. After a friendly greeting and a quick glance at what is presumably baking powder used to cut drugs, Moff sells a small packet to his acquaintance Trixie. She only gives him a tenner, which he criticizes. Trixie is amused by this and offers him some “Billy” with a mischievous look. Moff agrees with a grin. 94.6 sec (= 1:35 min)
Additional material in remixed version 16:08-16:39 / 18:18 Before the vision of the conversation with his mother's suitor in the car, the phone rings in the remixed version and Jip has tears in his eyes. He fends off the caller by claiming that his mother died in a car accident last night. Jip takes another breath and walks out the door. + 30.7 sec
17:37 / 19:19-19:58 In contrast, the original version takes more time for an emotional moment from Koop. After greeting his father euphorically, he immediately sits down again, looking dejected. His father wonders when he will finally be allowed to go home, and when Koop doesn't have a real answer, he says that they are probably both in danger. When he then adds, "Things could be worse, you know. If it could be you in here amongst all these fucking headcases," they both have to laugh a little. 37.3 sec
19:33 / 21:59-22:06 Koop cheers a little longer at the end of his DJ performance. 7.4 sec
Additional material in the remixed version 20:25-20:57 / 23:00 The remixed version has an additional scene with Nina and her brother Lee. She asks how things are going at home and Lee talks about his father's missteps. He thinks he's a great comedian and amusingly recounts how a recent talent show apparently didn't go so well, of which we also see a short mini-excerpt. The subsequent shot of Koop talking dirty on the phone then begins a moment earlier. + 31.9 sec
23:27 / 25:37-25:46 After greeting her, Jip briefly asks about her boyfriend (“Tyler, the germ”) and Lulu says that she gave him the “verbal post-mortem” today. Jip praises her for that. 8.2 sec
28:24 / 30:54-31:02 Another shot of the city at night, then earlier in the taxi: Moff sits in the back and chews gum nervously. 7.3 sec
29:54 / 32:36-32:48 Lulu, Nina, and Lee approach the pub, laughing. 11.5 sec
Alternative 29:54-30:09 / 32:48-33:03 In the subsequent shot, the time display was again covered with a ‘modern’ one. No time difference
