The Cabal cut is 25 minutes longer than the directors cut but 12 minutes of the footage will still be vhs quality.

Ah, ok. Think I'll just stick with my SF disc.

The article says they're using the best available materials, but as far as I know only VHS materials exist for the extra footage.
I love the SF set with both versions, but I've wanted to see the Cabal Cut for ages, so I'll be picking this up

Confused now. That article says the Cabal Cut is 145 minutes and 12 of that will be vhs quality (at least that's how I read it). I thought the Cabal Cut was 160 minutes?

I find when films have edited in footage from poor quality sources they really grate with me. See Shameless and Top Sensation as a reference. Takes me out of the zone completely.

I bet they look awful when it happens on blu-rays.

Seems like it, unless it's going to be a mix of all the versions out there. It's gonna end up like Blade Runner

Except Blade Runner's a good film.
