The Definitive 'Is the DVD cut' thread


I have just purchased the DVD from Amazon and is just wondering whether or not the DVD is cut or the actual full miniseries from TV

Just created the thread to help myself and other people who want to buy the dvd ?

I think all DVD releases of the series are cut to some extent. Not to a serious degree, but if you saw the original it's very noticeable. Hopefully the full version will come to DVD sometime.

The Australian Region 4 DVD does not contain the scene of the concert in Melbourne, just the sequence in the dressing room beforehand. Does the US Region 1 DVD show the Melbourne performance?

reply

The US DVD does not have the Melbourne scene either. But I have uploaded the scene on youtube. The scene can only be found on the Double VHS set, which is almost impossible to find.

reply

Thanks so much for confirming that. I would have been really disappointed if I had ordered the US DVD in the hope of finding this scene in tact.

reply

The UK DVD does not have the Melbourne concert scene.

Do any of the other DVD's have the scene where Judy discovers her 4th husband Mark with another man (the poolboy) and there is a huge fight where he beats her up?

That was another scene that was cut out.

FYI...the Double VHS set is the "Special Edition" version of the film. The vhs box says on it: "Special Edition" and contains 2 vhs tapes which include the FULL unedited movie and special interviews that are not on the dvd versions (foreign or otherwise). I have not heard of another vhs of this film being released besides this one. Correct me if I am wrong. Yes, it is very hard to find, as it was only sold by abc tv after the airing of the film on tv.

Be kind. Don't Flame.
