Charlie's Angels: Full ThrottleR4

    In Region 1 this film will available in two versions shortly (before the end of October). One is full-screen, and claims "PG-13 rated". The other is wide-screen, and is labelled "Unrated" (bear in mind that rating is voluntary in the US, so releasing an "unrated" disc simply means not submitting it for rating; there's no reason to believe that it couldn't get a PG-13 rating if submitted) — the "unrated" version has a few more extras, including one on the Pussycat Doll sequence, one on some of the fighting, and one called XXX-treme Angels (see above to discover what that's really about). There's a claim about "unedited material not seen in theatres", but I suspect that such material is already included on the Region 4 disc.

UPDATE:  fascinating — now that there are a few reviews of the Region 1 disc we learn that the R4 disc seems to have more extras! Our featurette menu lists eight featurettes (on two pages), theirs has only four (the first four listed above). They get four short featurettes as inserts during the Angel-Vision pop-up trivia track (which means they are a lot harder to access), and three of them sound like they match three of ours; the last one they get is The Cars of Charlie's Angels, a subject already covered in depth in the Full Throttle featurette (which is on both discs). As far as I can tell, they completely miss out on the Designing Angels featurette. Plus we get different inserts in the trivia track: all of ours are short segments about locations (filming at the Playboy mansion, at the Griffith Observatory, and so on) — as far as I can tell, the R1 does not include these pieces in any form.

NEW UPDATE: Looks like a few R1 reviewers didn't realise that there was a second page to the Featurettes menu! The R1 does have all the featurettes that are on the R4. However, their Angel-Vision track still links off to the featurettes, while ours links to location pieces that, as far as we can tell, are not on the R1. So we still have more extras...

    It sounds like our cut of the film is equivalent to their "unrated" version — the extra few seconds described are definitely present. And we appear to have a slightly better transfer.

    Looks like the Region 4 disc is the version of choice unless you are desperate for a full-screen version.
