Default Movie Question - 04-21-2005, 04:56 PM
Alright ive been wondering this for a while... This happens in too many movies to count, but i will use sw ep 2 as an example... Y do they alwyas change or sometimes edit out certain parts of movies, so the dvd's turn out slightly different than the movie in theaters? A perfect example is the way mace windu kills jango fett in the theater version, and how he kills him in the dvd version... I dont understand y people do that...

No, I saw Ep2 four times in the theaters and it's the same. I'm pretty sure.

You might be right. I wasn't really paying attention to what Mace did as he chopped off Jango's head. It was just really disappointing that it was so short.

Some DVD's are the directors cut. When a movie is shown in theater they have to be worried about ratings and what the studio says and such so many times things will be cut out, while on the DVD the director can add things back that they want in there that couldn't be in there for those reasons. Although with your example I don't know if that works. If its just a normal DVD the theatrical version and the DVD version should be the same.

It's all about money, first for the studio and then for for filmaker. Most films are cut so that their runtime allows as many showings as possible in one day (theater). If a movie is 3 hours long, you can't show it as much which means less box office take.

Then, to appeal to dvd owners, the filmakers add footage and call it a director's cut so you buy the DVD. In some cases they release multiple versions and some geeks buy both versions.

Also, sometimes scenes are cut because they don't work, or they slow the movie down, or the acting sucked.

Some movies to benefit from a DVD release are Aliens and Abyss, both by James Cameron. The extended versions are much better than the originals. I actually had the original laserdisc director's cut of Aliens, way before DVD's were even thought of.

LOTR series made a pretty good profit from the extended versions released on DVD
