Hi. I guess I am one of the few that actually likes the theatrical Fantastic Four movies. (Could be due to Jessica Alba’s hotness…)

Anyway, I just today heard that the DVD version had a bunch of small changes (I’m in the US), and that there are a bunch of regional differences as well. I don’t know where my DVD is currently, so I can’t tell what’s changed or not.

Is there a version, much like Blade Runner, that has ALL of the variations? Mostly I’d be interested in the US theatrical cut, since that’s what I saw in theaters.

Then, were there similar things done for the sequel?

The thing about incredibles I didn't know, that's pretty interesting!

The comparison about the other region DVDs I saw right before I made this topic. However there is nothing specifically mentioned about the US version. 

According to Wikipedia, there were changes made after the US theatrical release, and the DVD was not the same as the theater release. 

So, again, was the US theatrical cut released on US DVD, or in any region?

All I can tell you is that the version I have (US) has the choice between Theatrical or Extended edition.  I have no way to know for sure if the "theatrical" version on the DVD is the same as the one shown in theaters.

I am sorry.  Maybe someone else will chime in and help sort this out.

I need to update what I said .... actually, the US had 2 releases, a theatrical release and an Extended Edition release that had both versions on it.

I still can't tell you if either theatrical DVD version matches the theater run.

Yeah thanks. I know Wikipedia isn't really a "source", but what it says there is confusing regarding this movie.
