Some time ago i read that even though "Dir.cut" is written on the cover,the R2 editions is infact cut.The R1 DVD`s is totally unrated as the old vhs tapes that was sold in UK and the Scandinavian countries.
So the question is:Has anyone compared the new R2 editions of these movies against the old vhs tapes.


Since there is a total lack of extras on the DVD`s,does anyone know of any plans of a special edition of these movies(like the excellent Die Hard SE):confused:

The R2 UK DVDs of Lethal Weapon & Lethal Weapon 3 are uncut and proper Director's Cuts, however Lethal Weapon 2 is cut

I went for the R1 discs, which have DTS sound (Not sure if R2 does!) got all three for £36 from DVD Box Office.

R2, does indeed suck :D

DVD Box Office (http://www.dvdboxoffice.com) - I wouldn't recommend you using them though. They can take ages and ages to deliver! :(

I ordered The Beyond: Limited Edition Tin from them ages ago... I waited two or three months and then cancelled.

What about Future Entertainment? Any thoughts about them?

I ordered a copy of Liar Liar - Collectors Edition, but they send me a copy of Liar Liar( Pan&Scan only).

I've send them an email about the DVD and is currently waiting for answer. I would very much like to return the DVD for a correct version of Liar Liar( Anamorphic 1.85:1).

Other than the above problem, I would like to add that they ship DVDs pretty fast. I ordered the DVD Sunday night. It was then shipped Monday and I received it yesterday here in Denmark.

Besides that they are also cheap.

Well, they've been OK with me, but some people have had problems with them... FE being rude on the phone, unhelpful, swearing at them, etc.

Play (http://www.play.com) are pretty good as well.
