20 Questions time! August 1st, 2007

[Wiseblood]

Seriously, you guys need to tie Bill to a chair or something and get some more pictures of him.

[RVR II]

MAN.. So Close!
Just checked Netflix and it's on a 'Long Wait" 
May have to make a Blockbuster run

I totally had it like three or four questions ago.  

It was really hard trying to think of riffs that would then relate to the question.  Though that didn't seem to stop some people.  

Good game all!  and great choice for the next Rifftrax!

[GregMcduck]

Awesome! And all three masters! Sweet.

[Douglin]

So is it the extended cut or the regular?

Seems like the European regular cut may have an extra minute in it anyway.

According to Doug Liman's audio commentary on the American DVD, the European version of the film contains an additional 1:00 scene, which was cut to make the film shorter in the US. It is included among the bonus features on the American DVD and involves Jason and Marie eating with Eamon and his children at their farmhouse

Which version of the film? Seems like all I can find is the extended cut of the film.

[Conor]

We riffed the Extended edition, the "collectors edition" is not in print anymore, it appears:

Feel Free to tag it with RiffTrax.

It will be released Tuesday, 8/7, and we did take more pics of Bill while he was out here last week.

And by the way.

That 20Q's = *headdesk*

Really. Perhaps a picture that doesn't look like someone gave him a glasgow smile.

[kodiakthejuggler]

Neat! All three riffers on board! Always comedy gold!

Who knows, they may even allude to the nauseating camera work!

[MontyServo]

I wonder if the Netflix copy is the extended version or not?  A lot of times they don't bother to upgrade to newer versions of existing DVD titles.

[Raven]

Looks like here we go again with me having the wrong version of the film.  Stupid Extended cuts.

Unless this question is answered no that is.

I stand corrected. 

[Wiseblood]

Hmmm, according to this review the "Explosive Extended Edition" isn't quite so "extended" after all:

I should've expected this, but I'm feeling a little ripped off. Both the slipcover and keepcase art of this new edition of The Bourne Identity advertise that this DVD contains a "new movie experience." After all, this is an Explosive Extended Edition of the film. With that vocabulary, you'd kinda expect a longer cut. Wouldn't you? Well, no, actually, this DVD offers the same exact 119-minute cut of The Bourne Identity, and the extra footage—a tepid new opening and alternate ending—is relegated to the Bonus Materials section. (You can also access these low-quality, non-anamorphic widescreen scenes as you're watching the film, by pressing Enter when an icon appears.)

What's the runtime on the cut you guys are using?

The one we got is.  and if you check the product page, the run time is listed as 119, which is the extended edition:

This is good info.  It might save someone from double dipping when they don't really need to.
