Crikey, how many HD DVD versions of this film are there, i have FMJ rated 15 with a running time of 112 mins, received in post today from Play.com, trying to find out if i've got a "censored" version. i will be unhappy with that

Re: Full metal jacket on hd-dvd

Warner are just lazy and carried over the running time from the DVD version, I just checked the UK definitive HD DVD and it's 117 minutes, the same runtime as the theatrical cut...

Re: Full metal jacket on hd-dvd

Can anyone shed some light on the main differences between the original HD-DVD release and the Definitive Edition? Is it just bonus material, or does it contain previously unseen footage?

Re: Full metal jacket on hd-dvd

Make sure you get the hd-dvd with the green cover,the other one(white cover)has poor picture quality.
