i thought special edition mean`t the full film plus extra`s not some hacked to pieces substandard release look`s like us brits get the raw end of the deal yet again. please post your views so somebody at 20th century fox might treat us as adults and give us the proper uncut version.

wasn`t the recent version played on channel 5 uncut? It was cut less than my VHS copy anyway...

THE VHS VERSION IS UNCUT, HOWEVER THIS SO CALLED SPECIAL EDITION SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER IN A LONG LIST OF FILMS THAT HAS BEEN CUT FOR THE BRITISH MARKET.I FOR ONE AM GETTING SICK OF THE TREATMENT OF R2 RELEASES,THIS ONE THOUGH IS WORSE BECAUSE IT WAS THE STUDIO THAT MADE THE CUTS AND NOT THE BBFC TREATING US LIKE KIDS.

it just seems a case of lets re-release it again and call it a special edition.
the british are so used to being stiched up and conned that they probably think we are so gullable that we will go out and buy it again.
well i for one are fed up being taken for a ride yet again so they can stick their so called special edition where the sun never shines.i only hope lots more people say no so we can stop being taken for a ride every 5 min`s.

What make it worse is that you can buy the standard R1 version in DTS for less tha £10 delivered !!!!

It appears that this message has now disappeared from Play`s website so hopefully we can expect to get the full uncut version of Predator this time. Otherwise I`m sticking with my R1 version until a decent version is released elsewhere.

lets hope its now uncut. but the running time is still quoted as being the same as the cut vertion.

I wonder if the R4 version will share the same master?

Read a DVD mag today (can`t remember what it was called but it had a free disc with some extra features on it from Usual Suspects & Great Escape SE). Anyway, it said in there that Predator was going to be the full uncut version of the film and not the German version which Fox used to produce last years version.Lets hope the info is correct.

fingers crossed then?
