Is there a better quality source than the crappy 2nd disc on the dvd special edition? something in HD maybe?
The link in the listing is not working for me

I remember seeing the movie on the TV channel 2BE two years ago. I didn't record that, but...
1) It probably wasn't this 'Sci-fi TV cut' you speak of, anyway
2) Would have Dutch hardsubs
3) I only had analog TV back then, so it would've been a letterboxed DVD capture gone through analog
Though I have no idea what this specific TV cut actually is,
maybe I might remember if it had the differences?
And obviously I have no idea how it even looks like on the official DVD.
If this ever reruns again on 2BE, I might be able to record it digitally,
and now the channel is also in H264. (which is a huge improvement over
the old MPEG2 stream, because it being low bitrate)
Though I'd need to be reminded, since I don't go check their
TV guide that often. It would be anamorphic, but it would
be hardsubbed in Dutch and not in HD, and like I said,
it probably isn't this TV cut you're looking for.
I am still looking for a Bravo or E Network cut broadcast years ago that had a hybrid cut of the film, it used the theatrical and inserted extended footage for the fist half of the film. I had a copy but lost tape it actually existed.
Remember, Highlander, you’ve both still got your full measure of life. Use it well, and your future will be glorious.
The Ulysses Cut is probably still around. It's fullscreen and about Laserdisc quality, but it's watchable. It's not entirely the Sci-Fi version though, it's has every single "deleted" scene he could get his hands on, from several different sources.
I still find it hard to believe that the official release can look that bad. Has anyone ever uploaded any clips of it in motion?

Bumping this thread to bring you great news; Arrow/Universal is releasing Waterworld on Blu-ray containing the US theatrical version, the extended TV cut, AND the international Ulysses version!:
