[h=2]Version Overview and the Corresponding Releases[/h]
The detailed "background" information can be summarized and matched to the home movie theater releases as follows:
1. US Theatrical Version
With a length of 119 minutes, especially the dialogs have been altered in order to get the PG-13 rating.
Among others, this version is availabe on disc 1 of the US Blu-ray.
2. UK (& Australian) Theatrical Version
Also a length of 119 minutes but many scenes altered for the PG-13 rating are uncensored. Serval other detailed differences to the US Theatrical Version.
Among others, this version is availabe on disc 1 of the UK & Australian Blu-ray.
3. German (& Asian) Theatrical Version
With a length of only 113 minutes, this is the shortest of all Theatrical Versions. Whether particularly edited or based on the UK or US Theatrical Version is still unknown. Details will follow as soon as it has been released for home movie theaters.
Among others, available on the German & Japanese Blu-ray.
4. Super-Sized R-Rated Version
The movie had a second limited theatrical release in the US in which the PG-13 alterations for the US Theatrical Version have NOT been reversed (as the nake implies). Instead, it has a length of 143 minutes, entirely alternate takes have been used for almost any single scene.
Among others, available on disc 2 of the US, UK & Australian Blu-ray.
5. Unrated Version
With a length of 123 minutes, the Unrated Version is some kind of hybrid of the US and UK Theatrical Version. Similar to the UK Theatrical Version, the PG-13 alterations have been reversed, the additional alterations mentioned above are often equal the US Theatrical Version. Furthermore, there are a few extended scenes which are also the reason for the additional running time.
Available on disc 1 of the US Blu-ray - just like the US Theatrical Version.
As one might probably assume by the information about the different releases, the Unrated Version appears to be an exclusive extra to the US Theatrical Version while a further discs has been produced for the releases in the UK (and Australia) and Germany (and Japan) containing the version of the particular country. The British get to see the Super-Sized R-Rated Version as well, other non-English-speaking countries do not (possibly to save money for the audio tracks that would require a translation).
Since ANY version contains a bit exclusive footage and since an overlap is unavoidable, finding the right version to compare was quite difficult. At the end of the day, the version with the least number of scenes that needed to be mentioned twice is the one being used for the comparison. For the sake of comparison, the differences to the version not being used in the comparison will be mentioned as well.
