I have an extended cut of this movie, but it's not mentioned anywhere on IMDB. Why not? Its running time is 162 mins as opposed to 106. I found it at Best Buy and picked it up. There was only one copy, and I've never seen any other copies of it anywhere else. Does anybody else know about this?

I don't actually know what's included in this that's not in the original. I haven't seen the original. But it's by the same people who made the 106 cut. It's also three discs long. Have you seen the three-disc version around? I got the last one in my city.
shareI'm pretty sure you're mistaken. Animation is just too expensive to cut an hour off of. Sorry, but there is no 162 min cut of the movie.
shareAnime Legends Jin Roh Special Edition. Disc 1: Interactive Animated Menus, Japanese and English language, English Subtitles, Dolby Digital, DTS Audio, Anamorphic Widescreen. Disc 2: Japanese/English theatrical trailers, Production Art Gallery, Director/Creator interviews, Cast Interviews. Disc 3: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Bonus: 12 Page Collector's Booklet. Color. 162 mins. I understand that animation is expensive, but I just watched the movie and wrote everything down here and after spending two and a half hours staring at Jin Roh followed by close inspection of the box, I gotta say I'm exactly right in what I just watched and what it says on the box here. Pretty awesome, though, that nobody seems to have seen it. I wonder how many of this version are out there. Just came across this URL, too. It's still 20 minutes shorter than the version I have but it's still just under 2 and a half hours: http://www.bargainanime.com/dvd2705.html
shareI'm hunting like a madman for this now

The running time of 162 minutes includes the bonus material on the second DVD (about 40 minutes of interviews, also trailers and whatnot).
The movie itself runs about 102 minutes. There is no other version.
