Leon: 10th Anniversary Edition coming "later this year" (1 Viewer)

You will never watch the U.S. cut again after seeing the International version.

I own the US edition too, the one called "The Professional". I'm pretty happy with it.

Can anyone tell me how the video/audio quality compares to the latest Leon: The Professional Deluxe Edition? Just curious.

Well, strange thing happened. I watched my R2 Leon international cut last night and found the US cut is much better. My girlfriend liked it though. Maybe because she hasn't seen US cut before.
Now I'm thinking about buying US cut. Is this the only one?

Is there any better version for US cut?

First time I ever heard of someone preferring the cut version
of Leon (aka The Professional) to the original, but hey, each to
his or her own.

There has only been one version of the U.S. cut released and that was the old school disc from back in '98. There have been many others versions, but only of the director's cut.

 

[Voranand]

I'm the one who's almost always found the theatrical cut better than later cuts I saw. For example, I still think theatrical cut of Blood Simple better than director's cut. Maybe because of sentimental value.
I knew the international cut is original cut but I saw the US cut first. And with 15 years in film business and almost a hundred commercial films directed, I still prefer the emotional continuity of the US cut.

Damn! for frosting on the cake, how about an:

ULTIMATE-NO,REALLY! THIS-IS-THE-LAST-ONE-WERE NOT KIDDIN'-EDITION, HONEST GUYS of MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL?
or yet another THE DARK CRYSTAL?

how about a FIRST EVER color-corrected SE of THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN? a 2-disc Superbit™ Deluxe....YES?

 

[Voranand]

Hey! I'll buy THAT in a heartbeat.

I wonder if we will see a 15th anniversary edition of Leon in time for 2009. Yes,a good SE of Baron Munchausen is needed.
