Hello fellow HTFers:
To start off, I'll admit that I've never seen a Terminator movie. I've decided to watch the first two on DVD. I want to make sure I'm watching the correct versions when I do so. At this point, I am not so much interested in supplements as I am in watching as much footage (deleted or not) from both films.
For the first movie, I assume this is really my only choice:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...740100-4039123
This appears to have the theatrical release along with a smattering of deleted scenes. Are these cut scenes the only ones that have been released to the public?
Now for the second movie, I realize that I have to choose between the Extreme edition and the Ultimate edition. I'm leaning towards the Ultimate edition, since it seems to feature the longest possible cut of the film as one of its three versions. Am I correct in thiking that this longest version is the same as the other two, just with extra scenes thrown in? Or are there other differences between the cuts that just extra scenes? I have heard that the longest version has some kind of alternate ending; does this mean it just has more ending tacked on to the director's cut, or is the original ending removed and replaced?
Well, those are my questions in a nutshell. Basically, after I'm done viewing these, I would like to have seen all the footage available.
Thanks,
Todd
