Waxworks Uncut?

I know this movie has a very limited appeal and I kinda doubt anyone
knows, but can someone tell me if the just released dvd featuring
Waxworks and Waxworks 2 has the so-called "director cut" or uncut
version of the movie (Which was released on home video vhs and laserdisc
in the late 80's) that has gore and violence not in the theatrically
released R rated version? I don't have my hopes up as the movies are
both presented fullscreen (which is listed as a bonus feature!)

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question though.

Wimited appeal? Waxworks 1 is a good movie with a nice following!
WW2 isn't as good, but has its moments. Nice gimmick in each movie!

I also just discovered that *both* movies running over 100 minutes each
are fit onto one side of a dvd, no doubt compromising image quality.
Guess I'll pass on this one even though it's only about 12 bucks and
look for one of the import versions.

I picked it up for a miserable $10 yesterday. The picture is not
breathtaking, but it's okay. It's Dolby 2.0, so they probably saved some
space there, and there are no commentaries or anything. Not bad for ten
dalla, and it seems plenty gory to me even with the cuts.

It's an RSDL disc which can easily hold 4 hours at high quality. The
bit rates may not be as high as using both layers for one movie, but
we're not talking about movies that were ever in the running for a THX
release anyway.

I just watched Waxwork, and I was impressed with the image.. well, it
was much better than the VHS tape i've had for years. I was never able
to even confirm if a Laserdisc version of 1 exists.. at least I never
saw one in the years and
years I looked. Same deal with II.

Anyway, i'm just impressed this made it to DVD.. and both movies for
$10? can't beat that.

Waxwork II went straight to video and was thus probably filmed in
'Full Screen', so presenting them any other way wouldn't make much
sense. If Waxwork I had a theatrical release it was short (I remember
seeing it on Cinemax for the first time back in the day).. I didn't
notice any panning or scanning so if it was filmed wider than 4:3, it
wasn't by much.
