I understand and see this movie has had a very rough history with different versions and edits of the film ... can anyone tell me the differences if any between the Code Red Blu Ray edition and the Fan Edit Ultimate Composite Cut that is floating around??? --thanks .......
shareThe code red disc uses a very rough copy of the original dirs cut, which may also be missing some frames here and there. Without going into detail I know the print they used and where they got it
The ult fan composite at the time unkowningly ended up also recreating the does cu. Since the source for the extra footage came from the UK Odeon DVD, which also was a rough copy of the originaldirs cut. This fan version however mixed in EVERY frame with the US paragon vhs tape, since that still is the longest known version missing no frames. The paragon also had a shot or two not in the dirs cut.
The still very longest you can get is this fan version. The code red wroth having gives you a copy of the dirs cut but still not fully 100% complete so to speak
If you also look at the IMDb alternate versions it breaks it all down even more. I should mention the Odeon disc is missinng some scenes which were then sourced from the paragon tape, while the dirs version of the film on the code red disc at least has those scenes intact. still in terms of every shot and frame wise thevfan cut is the longest but not really by much.
