unrated
what are the differences between the rated and unrated versions?
shareI don't know. I have only seen the rated R movie.
shareI haven't seen either version so I wouldn't know either.
sharei didnt realize there was an unrated and rated r version - thought since it was straight to video thought it would be just unrated .... i got the unrated thru netflix so ill what i can do maybe later
shareI thought films were only rated for the cinema in the U.S. I bought a copy of the film from America cuz I couldn't wait for it to come out in the UK, and I was told that a film only has a rating on it for the cinema release, so a DVD wouuldn't be rated. This is how I understood it.

If the movie is direct to video it should normally be unrated. It is possible they may have wanted a limited theatrical release ... for marketing purposes. They mayvhave also rated it, to make two versions: R & Unrated ..to sell more copies.
There are some sites that will review the differences between these version and even other types, like extended vs theatrical or director's cut vs theatrical... etc
George Lucas pulls this *beep* ALL the time. Sometimes the extended unrated director's cut is better.
Like any other direct-to-video-R-Rated release there's also an Unrated version available that features some more nudity and sex related jokes and in this case there are also some extended plot sequences.
shareI'm pretty sure this might help you:

An unrated version is one that hasn't been reviewed and rated by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America). That doesn't mean it's not a "family friendly movie." It just hasn't been given a rating by the organization that serves to inform viewers of their recommended viewing age, and of any objectionable content the movie might contain. When a DVD is released and contains bonus footage or content that wasn't in the theatrical release, it's not because it's especially raunchy or objectionable (although that is often the case), it's only because they did not care to resubmit the film for a rating by the MPAA. The reason for submitting in the first place is to appease the audience. Theatres are not likely to show a movie with no rating, and audiences generally do not flock to them.
The rating process is a very big hassle for the companies who make movies, because the MPAA will simply rate a movie with little guidance as to why it was given a particular rating, leaving it up to the producers to figure out what stays and what goes. This process of achieving a particular rating is something that doesn't concern the studio executives upon a DVD's release. The MPAA will rate DVD's, but the movie's producers don't care what they say at that point. They're releasing the extra footage without regard to the MPAA. :D
