    International THE ALAMO (John Wayne's extended cut)

    And for me the biggest difference in extended is it completes so many plot holes that the theatrical leaves open and incomplete including where all the defenders of the Alamo came from in the theatrical they are about 29 short if you do the math. The extended shows a scene where these missing...

    If read through pages of the old Alamo thread you will see MGM has had a 15+ year history of not wanting to restore this film and to pretend it doesn't exist anymore.

    Unfortunately its been made clear that they do not care about this movie.

    I received mine yesterday but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Packaging is nice. Extended version only for me.

    I have preordered a copy. I do not want to miss out again.

    But if you are currently watching the laserdisc of the extended cut, having the majority of the movie now in HD and the extended bits upconverted is a really big improvement and maybe the best we will ever get that is where the praise is coming from. If you have never seen the laserdisc or...

    Sure wish someone in the US would release this on blu ray with the extended cut that was just released on the German Blu Ray. By all reports the best it has ever looked. I would settle for that since it doesn't appear possible for it to ever be fully restored. I don't understand why the German...

    I have a copy of the theatrical version on my Sling DVR. I'm not really interested in the theatrical just the Extended Version. Once you see the extended version that fills in so many plot holes, adds additional action and characterization its hard to un see it and watch the incomplete version...

    Sure hope someone in the US picks this up. Amazon Germany cancelled my order a few weeks back as this is sold out. :(

    It was but it was 240i standard vhs vs. 420i standard LD.

    I still have a feeling Kino might get this at some point. They seem like the best to release this in the states.

    I can't speak for everyone but my reason was financial. I had to wait for my next credit card cycle before ordering since it is a bit pricey once you add shipping.

    I have one of these on order with Amazon, Germany but it is still out of stock. I hope they are able to get some more. I only care about the directors cut so after hearing this version is better than the Laserdisc I really need a copy as its one of my favorites.

    Glad to hear the long version looks better than expected as that's the only version I can watch after 1st seeing it on Laserdisc and I love the movie.

    That sounds like potentially good news on the directors cut. How does it look?

    ok yes that is what I was thinking

    International THE ALAMO (John Wayne's extended cut)

    Correct but should be Anamorphic which should make it a small upgrade over the Laserdisc.

    International THE ALAMO (John Wayne's extended cut)

    Agreed since they cut out the resolution for Emil Sand in the theatrical cut they should have removed all his scenes in the theatrical and kept key scenes like where did they get the additional cannons, where did the additional volunteers come from that make up the proper number at the Alamo...

    That unfortunately appears to be correct.

    International THE ALAMO (John Wayne's extended cut)

    I'm definitely not one of them the theatrical cut leaves subplots unfinished, omits key plot details and some key characterizations that the extended cut fixes. Sure there is some filler but also some essential footage. Ever since I got the extended cut on Laserdisc I can no longer watch the...
