So possibly Arrow could put out the Directors Cut and the Theatrical Cut together, but probably without the Samuri Nights sequence. Altough after Nekromantik has passed through the BBFC who knows?

Both cuts would almost certainly pass uncut (think they already have in the past) , I was thinking more of the extras, especially the torture room footage which is removed from its context in the film and may run into trouble with the BBFC

Usually a week late.....

But what they could do like Marc Morris did with Video Nasties is present the footage in context during a documentary.

I do.
There was an uproar about it.

There were tv spots regularly for it after a certain time of night,and I'm sure News at Ten did a feature on the controversy surrounding it.
Certain of it.I remember sitting watching it.

Yes.I'm old enough!

Hammer's The Hounds Of Baskerville was a postcard found in one of the first copies of Thief received. Looks like nobody should go for the Twilight Time one yet.

Lovely reverse art?

NICE!

And before Stephen blows his top.....

Videodrome is a product of the eighties.
How much more eighties can you get with the red/blue swirls?

Remember the ZX Spectrum/Amstrad or Commodore 64 game loading process with the red and blue 'fuzzing' screens?

Come on Arrow give a classic eighties product a classic eighties reverse!

Not blowing my top mate Arrow use original poster art on their reverse sleeves, and that ain't an old poster. You have less chance of getting that than I have of waking up tomorrow thin and with a full head of hair. (ps, that video cover was shit).

In fact, let's go all out with the awful Videodrome artwork, and use this one.
