What version is worth buying I have not seen the movie yet but have heard good things and am not sure weather or not to buy it on Tuesday or wait for the special edition what exactly does the Special edition have? Anyhelp would be great thanks.

There is no set release date for the SE, nor is there any specifics on the content of the SE. I believe the only extra that has been alluded to is a commentary by Ridley Scott.

If you havn't seen it its probably best to rent the current one and then buy the SE if/when it ever comes out. Im going to the mall later today and havn't figured what im going to do about this movie yet... I loved the movie and read the book, since its only $15 so I will probably get it and then sell it to a friend or a used DVD shop when the SE comes out.

I should have known better, that there would be a SE in the works. Looks like I'll have to return the copy I bought today. I almost did the same with "Monster's Ball", then I remembered it was the edited, bare bones disc that's out now. At least I don't have to worry about a Buffy Season 2 SE box set.

tomdkat · 06-11-2002, 06:24 PM

Well, I was going to rent it first THEN possibly buy the SE, but ONLY if it had dts audio.

I think I'm going to go ahead and BUY it now and maybe get the SE if I want later.....

Peace.....

I walked into Best Buy and couldnt resist. It just said buy me, buy me... so I bought it along with JFK and In The Line of Fire, both 12.99 this week.

I'm waiting for the SE. I'm sick of buying titles twice.

Marty McFly · 06-12-2002, 01:45 AM

I've never seen it, so I'm going to give it a rental first. If I like it enough I'll pick up the SE.

slymer · 06-12-2002, 02:51 AM

It's a great movie, but I'm forcing myself to wait. I picked up Buffy Season II and I am gonna pick up Monster's Ball this weekend.

***SeanL*** · 06-12-2002, 03:48 AM

I enjoyed the movie too much to wait...picked it up today.

**SilentBob** · 06-12-2002, 03:57 AM

I'm waitting 'til the special edition comes out supposibly September. Rumours are deleted/alternate scenes, making of, audio commentary, documentary of the real event from the soldiers themselves and more. I shall probably rent this and then buy the SE when it is released.

I had absolutely NO idea....

Black Hawk Down is simply a MASTERPIECE!!!! Unbelievable..... truly unbelievable....

I applauded at the end of the movie... This was my first time seeing the movie and I am COMPLETELY floored!!!!!

Not only am I GLAD I bought it NOW, I WILL buy the SE if/when it comes out... I feel as it I owe it to them.

Peace.....

Finally, tomdkat and I agree on something.

I'm sorely, sorely tempted to buy the current release. It's actually a strong physical effort to FORCE myself to wait for the SE. But I'm weak, and I may cave in.

Triple HHH · 06-12-2002, 05:00 PM

I couldn't wait either and bought it.

BHD was one of my favorite movies last year, and Ridley Scott's best work bar none.
