Talk about a minimalist cover design.

[comixguru]

Have you see longer version, B&W DVD cover? Also minimal. Although some cover designer did have an easy day with this one. Center image. Title at the... ummm, not the top, so... the bottom. Centered. Simple font. What color... what color... ummm, Pantone Red. Sweet. There it is. Cha-ching, pay me.

i've just ordered it, amazon.de was pretty tough to use, i was never that great at German and haven't used any amazon stores before lol. hope i've done it right!

[Leon]

YES here we go babies !

My german is rusty, but I know a little, I think I will manage to order this

Lets hope they don't fuck this one up. Is it the Directors Cut?

The German Directors Cut is missing a short 17 second scene because it was never synchronized. Newer Versions of the DVD contain this scene, but its complety in english, even on the German Audio Track.

Is that the scene where Spoiler Below

Garry Oldman tortures the restaurant owner to identify Leon's whereabouts

?

My Japanese LD of the Integral Version is missing that scene too. Didn't really miss it, but I always laughed about the fact that despite spending $120 on a Laser to see the extended version, I still didn't have the longest version of the film available.

Likewise.

Did anyone ever get this? Does it play on US blu-ray players or a US Playstation 3?

[Blu-Balls]

It's pricey but I want it if it works here in the States and is the extended version!

It's not released yet - release date is October 24 according to Amazon.

[iamlilc]

so according to an ebay seller they say it's region 2, but can anyone confirm?

also does anyone know if it's a steelbook or not?

[Aareco]

Just placed my order works out about £26
Hopefully get it sometime next week, will post my findings

[AnalogueGhost]

My copy shipped early this week, as did Kannisto's. I'm sure one of us will post as soon as we get it.

I'm going to say it will most likely be locked, since Constant Gardener has been confirmed as locked and they were released in the same "wave" from the same company (Kinowelt).

This is one movie that i liked the shorter domestic version better than the euro one.
