We can of course not completely rule out the possibilty that the normal International Theatrical Version can be fount on some release somewhere in the world. Guess what it is? Right, the Extended International Version.
US Blu-ray: The "Outrageous Edition" contains the US Theatrical Version without any extensions and an "Alternate Cut", advertised as "the version not shown in theaters".

The following discs were brought in for research: Extended International Theatrical and International Theatrical vs US Theatrical), but the available releases did unfortunately not allow it. It would have been nice, of course, if it had been possible to clearly separate this situation in two comparisons (International Theatrical vs. However, this is an extension of the International Version and not the US Theatrical Version. The time difference of the German Blu-ray, labeled "Extended Edition" and theatrical version is four minutes. The home cinema releases bring another movie cut into play: the extended version of the international version. It is possible that the writer story was filmed after bad audience reactions to the poorly made teenager story, especially because the high quality material with a few stars in it is nothing one would keey lying on the cutting room floor.įrom now on the version with the teenagers will be called International Version and the one with the write US Theatrical Version. We cannot say with certainty which of the two options existed first. Whereas viewers in Europe and elsewhere can watch three youths searching for an especially shocking videoclip, the US Version features the story of an unsuccessful writer trying to pitch his ideas. However, it is a fact the frame plot holding the stories together is completely different outside of the US. Educated guesses have to be made about the reasons for this because it was never openly discussed in interviews or movie reviews.
The situation concerning the different movie versions is as unconventional as the movie. It is still a curious movie and interesting to watch once (with the same reasoning behind as watching a car accident), but only a handful of viewers will want to watch it several times. In contrast to Kentucky Fried Movie, there is no alteration between nonsense jokes, clever parodies and other creative gags but only dumbed-down provocational humor. However, the timing of the jokes somehow never seems to be right and many gags drag on for just too long. Whether you like toilet humor or not, a few of the joke ideas would – at least on paper – look quite funny. It is hard to say for which reason the movie was disappointing. A few stars like George Clooney or Colin Farrell were smart enough to decline, but eventually the producers were able to complete the movie with only 6 million dollars and a lot of patience. Each of these stars only had to be booked for a few days, making them more affordable, and they were lured in by the aptly named episode The Catch with Winslet and Jackman. The two latter writing teams got out of the project after a while, but Peter Farrelly was able to shoot the first scene with Kate Winslet and the testicle-chinned Hugh Jackman and the desaster ran its course.Ī studio was found and in the course of four years 12 other directors added their own scenes to the project, always starring big Hollywood stars. Rather soon, the combined writing power of the Farrelly brothers, the Zucker brothers and the South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone was available but no studio could be found. The idea for the movie – to create a modern remake of Kentucky Fried Movie - was conceived in the early 2000s. Here and there the word "cult" appeared in reviews as well, but the overwhelming majority of reactions was negative. There was probably no other movie in recent history which was as star-studded and yet as heavily criticized or ignored by critics and viewers alike. * 1 extension during one scene in the US Version: 3,4 secĭifference in running time: 232,7 sec (= 3:53 min) * 1 extension during one scene in the International Version: 16,9 sec * 3x additional framework plot in the International Version: 80,3 sec => International Version: 930 sec (= 15:30 min) Comparison between the International Version (Extended Version) and the US Version, both taken from the British Blu-ray.
