Just saw the R2 DVD, I havent seen the R3 is it missing things? the R2 seems to be the original cut of the film didnt see anything missing from my old VHS of it. I can recomend the DVD it has a great anamorphic transfer.

I just bought the reg. 2 DVD and it isn't that good...there's been cut in the movie, so some scene's are missing...too bad!!

I have both region discs. Although there is a cut in the region 2 version, it does infact inhance the over all scene. When comparing the two edits, the shorter scene is funnier as it isn't so obvious as to what happens next. The region 2 16:9 disc is also far superior visually (the region 3 is 4:3 letterboxed). Both discs suffer from poor quality sound, and although the region 3 discs claims 5.1 DD sound, it sounds dreadful. I favour the region 2 disc.
