Where can I see the ORIGINAL 'Bad Lieutenant?'

Post by battlecatmeowstab212 »

As in the ORIGINAL cut with the Schooly D Led Zepplin sample intact? I've only seen the new DVD release an from what I've heard, the score alone makes it a much better film.

eeeh, not THAT much. the song only shows up like 3-4 times during the movie tops, briefly at that if i remember correctly, and one of those times is during the end credits. but it is pretty interesting to see the movie as it was intended for nerd purposes if nothing else.

as far as i know this cut only exists on vhs, never released to dvd. however i have seen it on IFC before, so you maybe you'll get lucky there.

They play it, but it's the full screen transfer. I refuse to watch.

i think the vhs might be 4:3 as well, so you're fucked there either way

IMDB is rarely right when it comes to aspect ratios. It's actually a 1:85:1 ratio.
