QWhat are the differences between the US-TV Version and the Theatrical Version?
AEven the theatrical version was cut in violent scenes before release in the US, to warrant an R-rating. This version is the only officially released version in the world. The unrated version is only available as a bootleg in the US.
The US-TV-Cut on the other hand is sort of a mixed version. It is based on the already cut theatrical version, but then the violent and the sex-scenes were additionally censored. Furthermore, there are some scenes here, that are found in the Producer's Cut, too - they were added to increase the runtime for the broadcast to be able to show more advertising; a typical approach in the US. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
QWhat are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Unrated Version / Producer's Cut?
AThere are 3 different versions of the sixth installment of the series. Besides the theatrical version there's also an unrated cut of the movie and the producer's cut. Like the Producer's Cut, the Unrated Theatrical Cut was never officially licensed released and only published as a bootleg. Of course, this version does not reinvent the movie, and, except for one rather interesting extension at the end, the lengthened scenes of violence aren't really worth mentioning. For collectors and completists though, this version surely is interesting. A detailed comparison between the theatrical cut and the unrated version can be found here.
