This is the 2 hour, not 9 hour version!


Shogun (1980) (TV) is the 2 hour butchering of the mini-series! IMDB has a seperate listing for Shogun (1980) (mini-series) which is 9 hours. Beware the 2 hour version......beware

Anybody know what the link is for the 10 hour version? For that matter, does anybody know where you can purchase the 10 hour version on dvd or vhs? I haven't seen this movie since it originally aired, and I refuse to see the chopped 2 hour version.

The entire series was recently aired twice on the Hallmark Channel, one episode a night for the past week and all day yesterday, Sunday.

If you wnat to watch the entire 9 hours version and not the 2 hours version, I don't know where you can buy it except by going to ebay.com and seeing if anyone has a copy that he/she want to sell. When I want to watch the entire 9 hours, I just go to my local library and check it out. Maby the library that is near where you live will have a copy of the entire 9 hours.

The DVD set is newly released, available at Amazon.

It is true that the TV movie is a "butchered" version of the mini series. However, I do believe that there are scenes in the TV movie that do not appear in the mini series. No crucial scenes of course: a scene of mild nudity for one. That being said, for purists, the mini series is the only way to go.

THIS so called 'mild nudity' IS being shown in the long version. Just for the record.

Is the two hour version on DVD anywhere yet?

Wish the mini-series DVD set had the two hour version as a bonus feature.
