Hello to everybody, I'm Ency from Italy.
Roger Rabbit is my favourite film since 1988.
I have just bought a copy from USA the LDs of "the uncensored" Roger Rabbit (I got also an UK print) and now I found that an HD version was aired in France?! wow. Amazing. Maybe a first transfer of the film before the blu-ray "recut" edition.
Well.
May I ask you something?
First of all I can't get the "Space Kaijuu" edition because I don't have a "myspleen" account. But I have the restored frames and the french version.
Is there another way to get that version?
Do you know if the USA Bluray combo is STILL with the FULL SCREEN edition of the film? I would like to have also the Full screen version, so if I buy now this combo pack from AMAZON I'm sure to get the "wrong" version?
Do you know if the PAL LD of "It's Roger Rabbit" has the poster uncensored (that LD was included with the PAL film, and I really don't know about that).
I'm pretty sure about a different line on the bathroom in Toontown. I recall this very well. That was a joke on a 5555 number or something like that if I remember well.
I have a very old first issue italian Full Screen PAL tape, maybe is that there? Or that was on some RR children books? I bought them all in those days!
I had also a pirated version of the film in 1988 on tape, letterbox, very bad quality but uncensored, I will check also there, if you want.
Or, by the way, on IMDB I have read this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096438/alternateversions
Several brief scenes were cut after the initial release:
1 - The gorilla picking up Eddie by the lapels after the line "Who are you calling a chump, chimp!
2 - The beginning of Roger's reaction as the weasels cross the road to Eddie's office
3 - A brief dialogue exchange between Eddie and Smartass while Roger is hiding in the sink
The 3 sequences were included in full in "Roger Rabbit and the secrets of Toontown" (also dubbed in Italian Language).
then
"Some versions, including the television version shown on FOX and CBS, have an extra scene: (...) the pig-head sequence This deleted scene is included as a special feature on the DVD. "
Well, the pig-head sequence in the DVD and in the Blu-ray is CUT (the missing part is in black and white!). I was wondering if someone recorded this FOX or CBS airing with the full sequence (and maybe something more!).
Please let me know,
Thank you!
Ency.
PS: Sorry for my really bad english.
