When i bought my first DVD-ROM i also went searching for my first DVD.
I ended up getting the 2 disk Army Of Darkness LE because it was the
only one listed on Chapters.ca. It was on sale, and i had an internet
coupon, so i ended up paying all of $15CAN after taxes and shipping.
I still laugh at this and am glad i decided to start my DVD collection
at that precise time. I only found out it was LE when that next
director's cut disk was released. Wish i'd known at the time, i would
have bought more.

The "Director's Cut" is what Sam Raimi submitted to Universal. They made him
change the ending and cut it down to 81 minutes. In hindsight, Raimi liked the
"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun" line, but "I ain't that good" was in his
original cut.

Actually, the next director's cut disc was _also_ LE (the single disc, with
Muscle Man Ash on the front). I forget the production run number, but I
think it was 40,000, and each copy is numbered.
