Extra Judie Aronson nudity
I'm pretty sure the original VHS had more Judie Aronson boobs in the scene where she scares Sara in the water. Does anyone else remember this?
shareI don't but that may be the case due to the aspect ratio?
On VHS it may have been presented in 4:3 as opposed to 1.85:1. Many films were released with altered aspect ratios on home media, The Lord of the Rings VHS had more (and less) screen information due to it. More at the top and bottom but less at the sides.
Freddy vs Jason (2003) has more nudity, and gore I believe, in the fullscreen (1.85:1) DVD version than it does in the theatrical widescreen (2.35:1). Thankfully a streaming service released an Open Matte version of the film in 1080p, I downloaded a copy of it for posterity. It may be the only time a full HD copy is presented of the film in fullscreen as most releases these days only include one aspect ratio, whatever it was shown in theatres with. Until that streaming service FvJ wasn't available in HD fullscreen.
They even fixed the unfinished CGI issue from the original fullscreen DVD, when Freddy's glove rips off Kelly Rowlands nose, the glove floated in the air as they didn't finish the CGI for it that was off-screen in the theatrical framing, in the webrip they reframed it bless them.
The extra Judie nudity could have been an open matte issue, but also an "accidental" workprint shot spliced in. It's been a long time since I've seen the VHS version.
