Sorry, I didn't notice the link.
I love this film. I first watched it on Channel 4 one Sunday night. Then I found out about the special edition VHS and bought that on launch day. I was later bummed out to discover there was a limited edition dual VHS box set that contained Under Pressure: The Making of The Abyss.
I was also annoyed that the rat scene was butchered with lower-quality alternate takes and even the wrong aspect ratio. I think the BBFC wanted that scene cut because of a complaint from the RSPCA.
I almost bought the PAL laserdisc (which also had Under Pressure) but I never did and I can't remember why. Maybe it was too expensive.
Then of course I imported the US DVD on pre-order and that is where we have all been waiting since 2000.
There are however a couple of HD streaming rips out there. One theatrical and special edition which claims to be open matte.
You do enjoy buying multiple copies! ๐คฃ
That's only twice! ๐
