Yep, that’s right. The DVD all you sex-crazed ignorant South Asian men have been waiting for has arrived, and it’s dirtier than ever…or is it? From The Houston Chronicle:
Now’s your chance to catch up on ketchup hounds Harold and Kumar. The only question is, do you get the film’s “Extreme Unrated DVD” or its original R-rated theatrical cut?
In truth, it hardly matters — just as it didn’t for The Girl Next Door and Eurotrip. Like Harold and Kumar, each came to DVD in R-rated as well as unrated versions, with the latter suggesting more raw and revealing material. Yet in each case, it was tough to tell the difference.
The fact is, Mary Poppins would be “unrated” if Disney added several more seconds of kids flying kites and didn’t resubmit the altered film for a new ratings review. “Unrated” doesn’t mean the equivalent of an NC-17. It just means unrated.
In Harold and Kumar’s case, it means a bit of incidental footage was added to a film already riddled with sex and vulgarities. But unlike Harold and Kumar, we don’t need to gorge.
More enticing are the unrated edition’s unique bonus features. These include another commentary track, a music video and more outtakes.
