It can take a good few viewings to appreciate the film and remember all the details
When the film was in the cinemas in 1982 I fell asleep during the film and same happened a few times later watching on home video
It's not a film to try and watch from start to finish if you are tired
I would start with the original International Theatrical cut then watch the Directors Cut then Final Cutwhich cut to watch then for semi first timer?

This release only has Final Cut
i agree, better watch the final cut..@toratora @paulboland
I would watch the final cut first.
the reason is :
it is the REAL director's cut
the theatrical cut's ending was a studio choice, makes it a totally different/less good movie, not on synch with the movie's tone.
the director's cut main difference with the theatrical cut is the ending. Since the ending is the same in the final cut, why even bother...
the final cut has a few nice little enhancements (more vehicles in the sky for exemple) but never betray the orginal movie.
The chance is that he won't like the movie enough to watch the other versions, so better start with the best and most complete. If he likes it he winl obviously watch the other cuts out of curiosity.
If anybody here ordered this from Zavvi, can you please tell me what kind of packaging it was shipped in and what kind of shape it was in when it arrived?
Thank you.
You should know zavvi by now its too thick for the white box they use on steels, so there next best thing is bubble envelope/ jiffy bag, considering mine traveled a very long way luckily it was ok
Mine came in a small cardboard box but it had no additional packaging so it was basically just rattling around inside it! Arrived with two slightly knocked corners but was otherwise OK.If anybody here ordered this from Zavvi, can you please tell me what kind of packaging it was shipped in and what kind of shape it was in when it arrived?

That's right - just the plastic slip, the steelbook itself was still in mint condition.What were the corners? The plastic slip?
everyone will give you a slightly different answer to that, as above, and now me, too! the original theatrical cut has a voiceover throughout i always hated which is completely absent from the director's and final cuts, and as @Jocelin says, it also has a different, for my money worse ending,which cut to watch then for semi first timer?
Lucky you !, I just hope this isn't some damaged customer return found laying about somewhere, otherwise you really will be Miffed....Randomly appeared on HMV today! ordered and copy and now out of stock...
hopefully order will go through!

All that packaging will be lost in time, like tears in shrink wrap...Arrived today, two small tears in shrink wrap but otherwise perfect condition and that didnt matter as shrink wrap came straight off!!
Really like this steel, one of teh better ones i've had recently
