Dodgeball Unrated on 08/02/05 (1 Viewer)

That commentary is already on the current DVD. It is one of the easter eggs you get when White snaps his fingers. With the exception of the added 1 minute it is almost identical.

As someone that really did enjoy the movie, I won't even doubledip on this.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

On the DVD it's "poopy-flavored lollipop," right? Frankly, I'm glad they did that -- "poopy-flavored" is funnier! (And a cock-flavored lollipop actually *is* useful if you're, well, you know. )

 

[R. Kay]

I can't wait to see the actual dodgeball in all of its unrated nude glory. I did notice that the original cut was missing a little something extra.

Boy, I'm a sucker for these risque nude scenes.

Count me in!

Actually, if you didn't see it in a FOREIGN theater you missed that joke. I believe (and I'll go back to the commentary) that they edited it for U.S. audiences to get a PG-13 rating. I saw it in the theater in Los Angeles and certainly don't remember that line. Oh, I remember now, the line "f@#k a doorknob" rather than "hump a doorknob" was another line changed for a U.S. PG-13 release. Both "less offensive" versions were in the theatrical release from what I remember.

 

[Greg_R]

I picked up the R3 release during a recent business trip and it has this line (along with the doorknob quote).

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Oh yeah, I remember this conversation now. Personally, I think that both PG-13 lines are funnier than the R-rated equivalents.

 

[Carlo_M]

I'm ambivalent about the doorknob joke, as the way he dubbed "hump" sounds funny, but the message is the same (with regards to what they're doing to the doorknob).

But poopy and, er, the other thing, I am guessing don't taste the same...besides who sucks on poop? I'd rather have the original joke in there just because it makes sense.

Trust me, after talking with many ex-girlfriends and female friends, they are NOT doing it for the taste, but because they want to please the man. (was that TMI?)

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Exactly! That's why it's an insult to be as useful as that.

The other version could be useful for practice!

I won't be buying this because I got the existing DVD as part of a buy 2, get 1 free at Blockbuster tonight.

 

[David Galindo]

Then about a half-hour (or more?) into it, they all get into a fight (verbal, not fisticuffs), someone gets pissed off and leaves, then one of the remaining fellows claims that all commentaries are the same, no one really listens to them, and promptly puts on the Farrelly brothers' commentary from There's Something About Mary, which plays for the rest of the running time




HAH! Thats hilarious!

I might have to rent the unrated just for that.

 

[Chris]

That's the thing I never get with 'unrated' cuts.. do they think that teenage kids will buy hoping it turns their film into a porn shoot?

 

[Colin Jacobson]

Could some who has the theatrical cut DVD post the EXACT, to-the-second run time? I'm not sure the unrated one includes ANY extra footage so I'd like to compare the running times...

 

[Josh Simpson]

Man, I'm sure glad I held off on the original release....oh wait a minute, I'm not buying this one either.

Thanks, Fox!

 

[ZacharyTait]

I popped in my DVD and the runtime is 1:31:57.

 

[Magnus T]

From DVDCompare.net:

"- The line "you're as useful as a cock flavoured lollipop" has been changed to "you're as useful as a poopie flavoured lollipop"
- The line "you're like a bunch of retards trying to f*** a doorknob" has been changed to "you're like retards trying to hump a doorknob"
- After Justin leaves Amber for the ADAA Tournament, the US versions cuts straight to the Purple Cobras entering the dodgeball arena. International versions, have him come back and kiss Amber and then leave."

 

[Mark Zimmer]

My friends and I played this last night at High Body Count Night; we were dying. Hilarious movie, but glad I didn't jump at Fox's first release. I will be picking up the new one.

 

[MikeEckman]

I am going to stick to my guns and not buy any of these "longer" or "unrated" cuts that are only 1-2 minutes longer. A movie should have actual new scenes that add or change something in the movie to make me want to get it, ala Underworld, Dances with Wolves, Apocalypse Now, Brazil, etc.

 

[MikeEckman]

Oh, and one more thing. Not that I am supporting this whole double-triple-quadruple dipping by the studios, the practice of releasing a less featured version and then a couple months later, a more full SE release is our consolation to rental-pricing. Those of you in the scene around 2001-2002 remember all the talk about the potential for rental pricing like VHS.

I'll take this way over rental pricing anyday!!!

 

[Colin Jacobson]

I definitely noticed the first two changes. I didn't remember the kiss not being there, but that would probably account for the change in running times. The new one's 1:32:28, so that extra 31 seconds likely stems from the extra shot of Justin and Amber.

Thanks for the info!
