After seeing this on TV recently I decided that i needed to get this great movie on dvd. However, most websites only list a 1 disc edition which makes me think that at one time there was probably a 2 disc version in existance.

Could anyone please tell me if this is correct? and, if so, what extra features does it have? and where can i get it from?

I`m pretty sure there`s only a one disc version in th UK.

"Six bucks and my right nut say we`re not landing in Chicago..."

I dont know if its been deleted, but there is definitely a 2 disc edition somewhere because myself and a few other people I know have it. It always used to be in the HMV sale a few years ago with Gladiator and Se7en. Yeah, you remember it now.......

Brilliant film though. Drags a bit at the end but it is still incredibly funny.

Yeah, I`ve got the 2 disc set.

It`s here, although 6 to 8 days usually means it`s out of stock.

cheers for the help, it is much appreciated.

Can anyone tell me if the features on disc 2 are any good? i dont know whether to search around for it or just go for the cheap 1disk version on play.com

It depends what they have done with it. The Amazon review is pretty spot on. All the best stuff is on the first disc, so if they have just taken out the second disc and left the first as is, then you could quite happily get that.

Its even got Rowetta from X-Factor on one of the commentary tracks, believe it or not.

Have a look here for the different versions. A new one out in March.

Doh! I actually have the two disc version.. :/

"Six bucks and my right nut say we`re not landing in Chicago..."

If I remember rightly (it`s been a while) the disc 2 extras are of interest if you`re into the music and history of Factory, more than the film itself.

The `commentary` with Miranda Sawyer, Peter Hook, Rowetta (who turns up half way through I think) et. al. is more of a discussion of the times at some bar in Manchester, with occasional reference to the film, which is displayed p in p.

Then there`s a quite interesting commentary with Tony Wilson and the Factory designer talking over various bits of `design` like record sleeves and such.

I don`t remember the Pills n Thrills n Bellyaches documentary.

The `Portrait of a filmmaker` is as perverse as you`d expect from Winterbottom, where he tries to be all mysterious and not be interviewed much. I guess if you`re a fan of his you`ll probably appreciate that.
