I don't think that there has ever been a blu-ray version of this film that had the sculpture scene intact. Initially, I thought the very first DVD's had the scene, but after going back and digging up the info, the DVDs may not have it. I need to check out my DVD at home.
Details on the lawsuit are here.
On dvd, They initially released it uncut and then rereleased it without the scene as I have both versions.
That's what I thought! But everything that I was finding in my quick search this morning seemed to indicate that it was cut prior to being released to home video.
Just goes to show how much you can trust what you read on da 'net!
Did you say no blood? Correct me if I'm wrong, its been a loong time, but isn't there a disgusting bloody scene?
My sentiments exactly...
I think, on the subject of cuts and alterations to this movie....
When the film was shown theatrically sculptor Frederick Hart sued Warner Brothers claiming the sculpture in Pacino's office was a copy of his 'ex nihilo' work. When the movie was released on DVD there was an 'unaltered' version, with a red stripe on the back of the DVD saying 'the large white sculpture of human forms on the wall of John Milton's penthouse in "Devil's Advocate" is not connected in any way and was not endorsed by the Sculptor Federick Hart or the Washington National Cathederal joint copyright owners of the cathederal sculpture "Ex Nihilo" in Washington, D.C.'.
That's the DVD I own.
Warner were forced to edit the sculpture.
Every version, DVD or blu ray, that has been released since has required the sculpture to be edited to remove the human forms until the point where they become 'alive'.
Any 'cuts' to the movie would for Connie Nielsen's nude scene.
So this blu ray will not be what you saw in the cinema, but most people have probably forgotten and only know the digitally edited version.

@MovieFan1982 How come you're promoting your video here in english, but your video is on a different language? Was interested to hear your analysis, but I fast forwarded it to see the front, back, inside and close the youtube tab because I didn't understand a thing. Just saying man..
Anyway, I like this film. One of the good titles in the 90's in my opinion. I don't have a DVD or amaray for this, so I am inclined to get the steel. The only thing stopping me is the art.. It looks like fundamental photoshop techniques were applied. I know the fire is symbolic in the film, but having it there as a frame is a bit of a turn off.

What I do find utterly annoying and careless is the fact that they placed the main protgonists the wrong way round in the cover art. i.e. you see Al Pacino beneath Keanu's name!!!
How difficult would it be to GET IT RIGHT!!!!!
