Q
What are the differences between the R-Rated version and the Unrated Version?
A
Two versions were released of the Christmas comedy "Bad Santa" produced by the Coen brothers and starring Billy Bob Thornton as a nasty, always drunk and cursing crook in a Santa suit. The normal Theatrical version as well as an Unrated Version for which the title was changed into "Badder Santa". It generally lives up to its name. Although the Theatrical Version was not suitable for children on its own, the Unrated piles up on nudity, criminal actions and foul language. The new scenes do not at all seem like merely re-integrated deleted scenes but fit into the movie quite nicely.A detailed comparison between both versions can be found here.
