QA Note Regarding Spoilers
AThe following FAQ entries may contain spoilers. Only the biggest ones (if any) will be covered with spoiler tags. Spoiler tags are used sparingly in order to make the page more readable.
QAre Ben and Chon lovers?
AIt's insinuated but unlikely. Lado's trainee, Esteban, theorizes them to be lovers as he watches Ben and Chon with O returning from a restaurant, and Elena tells O that Ben and Chon wouldn't share her unless they loved each other more than her. However, Ben and Chon show no signs in the movie of being IN love, nor of being lovers with each other.
QWhat are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Unrated Version?
AWhile the theaters got an R-Rated version of the movie (for strong brutal and grisly violence, some graphic sexuality, nudity, drug use and language throughout), Stone assembled a longer Unrated Version for the DVD/Blu-ray releases. This cut extends the movie by more than 10 minutes and includes solely character scenes. Especially del Toro's character Lado gets a lot darker here and we also get to know more about O, Marina and Dennis. If you look at the small changes at the end of the theatrical version, you may conclude that it tries to let Lado and Dennis appear a little more likeable. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
