Nice edition. Love all the contents

 

[Lenny Nero]

So this Cine edition is exactly the same, as UCE, but with a steelbook with the same art, as the fullslip...

Note HMV Exclusive is Limited to 1,000 so it's likely to sell out before release date

I know, I meant the steel here is same design as the slip.
Kind of like we had with Training Day, one samey, one different (in France).

This steelbook is better, but too bad the art is identical to the slip.

What are the differences between the 2 cuts? are they both fully uncensored?

What are the differences between the 2 cuts? are they both fully uncensored?

Theatrical Cut (99 min)
Special Edition Cut 103 min (also known as Extended version)
Yes both are uncut versions


The UK DVD and VHS releases before 2001 was BBFC censored version
From 2001 the UK DVD and Blu-ray releases has been uncut version of the special edition all previous BBFC cuts was waived
UK first Blu-ray was release was in 2007
Enter The Dragon was resubmitted and classified at 18 for video in 2001, with all previous cuts (both to violence and weapons) fully restored.
Enter the Dragon previous UK Blu-ray releases has been the Special Edition Version not the Theatrical version



Previous UK DVD/Blu-ray releases has been the Special Edition version not the Theatrical Cut
There was VHS releases in UK that had Theatrical version

This is the first time in UK you getting Theatrical Cut on UHD/Blu-ray format

It's only known so far it's the UHD that has both Theatrical Cut and Special Edition Cut
When customers get delivery it will be known then if the Blu-ray also has both cuts

Thanks

I've ordered both versions but not sure if I'll keep either order. I already have the old embossed steelbook and the 40th anniversary UK fullslip so really I just need the disc, but, going to decide closer to release.

 

[Betonos Le Truel]

I find it very surprising to have only 1000 of these. Wondering if this steelbook will find his way to another European distributor.
