Wonder if Blu-Ray's coming???
The current USA DVD is the Theatrical Cut and is only 1 disc. In Canada a 3 Disc set was released that was the Director's Cut, this was later sold in America too but wasn't put out by Universal.
It was imported from Canada and put out by TVA. All extras (except the commentaries) have English subtitles.
I'd imagine that's why Universal consider it good to re-release. That said the 3 Disc version is still in stock on American websites, so why you'd want this I don't know.

Not any time soon. Universal have only just got back into HD.
A HD-DVD is available in many European countries, it's barebones, is the Director's Cut and has English subtitles.

I loved this film. I have the Region 1 single disk version. Very interested in this.
Hmmm, I've had the R1 disc since it came out years ago, I don't know if I can double dip on this though, I think I might, depends on how the art sells me.
I special ordered the 3-Disc Special Edtion and I love it! The film is amazing, a pastiche of genres that are all very engaging and the 3-Disc set includes two separate documentaries over one hour long each, and over 40 minutes of separate deleted scenes even though the film is over 2 and a half hours itself. It does have three commentaries but they are all in French and with no English subtitles which is frustrating. I wonder if this 2-Disc set is merely a cut-down of the 3-Disc or a newly built 2-disc set. After all, Christophe Gans, the director, speaks both English and French so he could do a commentary in English as well. Since I'm a sucker for double-dips, I'll have to wait and see what this release includes.
Fantastic film, Mark Dacascos steals the show as Mani. Bring on the BD version!!!!
This is the best film that I have ever read in theatres.
Wow, that took long enough! Sticking with the UK Blu ray, though.

What about the 3 Disc version?
The 3 disc extras are pretty meaty. I doubt this 2 disc release will have all of them. I bet it will contain some of them though:

I cannot see Gans creating new English audio commentaries now.

Didn't care for this film. Didn't buy it then, probably won't now. Crouching Tiger is the best film I have ever read i theaters, pitdeadite.
Great news! The version I have has the extras in French.
Never got the 3-disc, so I'll pick this up. Very solid film.
Can't believe this is the same guy that The Food Network says is the "Chairman" in Iron Chef America....
Had it, sold it and not buying it again. Has a couple fantastic scenes though and I love the production value of this film though.
Still features one of the most powerful, in your face DTS tracks I have ever heard...one of the few that I actually have to turn down in certain scenes...lol, j/k.

They're likely to be French here. It's a French film

Crouching Tiger is good but it's far from the only good non-English language film ever made. Is there such a word as pitdeadite?

If the Universal release has the commentaries subbed in English then I will definitely nab a copy.
sweet. I don't own this movie on DVD. Now it is the time to get it.
"Is there such a word as pitdeadite?"
There is in the world of Sam Raimi.

Thanks. What does it mean? All Google brings up is forum member profiles.
Darkman aside I've disliked all of Raimi's work (that I've seen). Including Spider-man, Spider-man 2, Evil Dead 2.

That would be cool. So far no DVD has the commentaries English subtitled.
It's weird they went to the effort to English subtitle all the extras on the Canadian 3 Disc SE but not the commentaries.

Adding my two cents, just because...I have to say Run Lola Run is absolutely the best film I've ever read in theaters.

I never bought this one so I'll likely eventually buy this version. I liked it and am interested in seeing what was added. I'll probably just rent it first when it comes out and wait until it's cheaper before I buy it.
...another proud owner of the amazing 3 disc set

Pitdeadite is one of the creatures from Sam Raimi's, "Army of Darkness". I also use the name as my Call of Duty handle.

I never got round to getting this so maybe when the BD is released.....

I'll keep my 3 disc version instead.
