American Gangster (US - DVD R1 | HD) in News > Releases at DVDActive

The 3-disc edition seems to be the theatrical cut on Disc 1, the extended cut (20 extra minutes) on Disc 2, and extras on Disc 3. A 2-disc edition will also be available.

interesting that are an extra 20 minutes.

No doubt Charlie has another ace up his sleeve.

The theatrical cut and extended cut are both on Disc 1. Look at the picture of Disc 1. It states that both cuts are on the first disc. The other two discs seem to be full of extras...

Looks like a sweet set.

Nice to see that there will be an HD version. Hopefully the extra 20 minutes add a little more depth to the characters.

I thought this was a great movie. I'm a cheap bastard so I'm hoping that the 2-disc edition has the unrated and theatrical cuts too. Although, if CdL is doing the extras they may be worth it.

So let's see: Alien, Blade Runner, Legend, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven and now American Gangster. Does Ridley Scott hold a record for number of re-cut/extended movies on DVD or is there someone who's got him beat?

I suppose Oliver Stone has released recut versions of JFK, Heaven & Earth, Natural Born Killers, Nixon, Any Given Sunday and two recut versions of Alexander so there IS some competition for the crown.

the only one of those I don't have is the Black Hawk Down one. Was it ever confirmed that it's Ridleys preffered cut? The DC of Alien isn't, but was part of the giant set with the version that was approved.

I understand it's just some deleted scenes put back in. And the extras are from the 3-discer, which is what I have.

Nice, just saw this tonight at the theater and thought it was great. Has it been mentioned whether or not the HD-DVD version will be identical in content to this 3 disc DVD?
