Never ever seen this version. May have seen an extended TV cut, but not 3 hours long. This is something I wouldn't mind seeing in the blu-ray release, as it would be a smart move from wb to include it as a reason for people to upgrade their dvd sets.

I may check it out. The picture quality puts me off though. I remember seeing a sample of it a while back and not really feeling very enthused by it. It's sorta the type of thing I believe would probably look better on my old CRT TV than my LCD. ;D

I bought a copy of the KCOP back in 2003 before I knew about torrents and I gotta say, even though it's vhs, it looks leaps and bounds better than the torrent version. The only problem with my copy is that it's 3 hours and 6 minutes long, so there's 2 minutes missing.

Bleh, doesn't surprise me. Lots of shitty stuff on torrents. I grabbed a Star Wars preservation a while back, which was supposed to be a laserdisc rip but was in actual fact a VHS rip. I won't use them anymore.  |

The Torrent that does the rounds is an 1982 PAL broadcast from Australian TV. It's the full version even though its only 3 hours (PAL 4% issue). I have no idea how many generations it is from the master. I have a first generation copy and use to think the quality was great but now because I am so use to remasters and DVD 600 lines the quality of STM Extended looks crap. Def better to watch on a 14 inch CRT TV, don't try view it on a 50inch.

Anyone know when STM RIC will available? This has got my curiosity peaked. And would this be similar to the SII RIC? The SII RIC DVD's are wonderful.  |

I won't use them anymore. I've tried torrents too. Don't like them much either. It's worth the wait to get a good quality movie on DVD.  |

I doubt it. Look at the market out there. Studios don't put out re-edits of catalog movies without the directors (Ridley Scott, Oliver Stone, James Cameron are frequent ones) or without the producers (Spider-Man 2.1, Alien 3).
Studios can't just arbitrarily re-edit films anytime they want. There are guilds to deal with, rights issues to be sorted out. Not to mention the potential for the original directors to disown the re-edit, making it very difficult to market or sell. Donner has disowned the TV Salkind cut in the past.
Also, the fans who clamor for extended cuts is such a small subset, that it's probably not financially sound to dump money into it. A very vocal minority does not translate into a profit.
