Q
What is the difference between the theatrical and unrated editions of "Meet The Spartans"?
A
1. In one of the opening scenes there is a penguin that tries to kill Leonidas. There are a few extra parts: After the penguin jumps on Leonidas he slaps him and says "I'm gonna make you my bitch, Leonidas" and then turns around. Well in the Unrated he says "Im gonna make you my bitch, Leonidas" and then continues with the extra dialogue "Lick my snow balls. Then he continues with another Unrated line of dialogue "Eat my penguin asshole" and then the shots of the penguin pooping on Leonidas's face is much more closer and graphic. Then the rated is farther out when the penguin poops on him and it omits the "Eat my penguin... line and the Lick my snow balls.. line.2.In the James Bond Scene, Leonidas is strapped to a chair and the Bond villian puts Pedigree onto Leonidas's balls. In the Unrated you watch him pat the spoon of Pedigree onto his sack. Then he lets a dog named Captain Adorable lick it off of him and them bite his balls. In the Unrated you watch him put it on Leonidas's balls and you watch the dog lick the balls and bite them. In the rated you barely see the balls except for a quick shot of the dog biting them. Basically the Unrated you get a more direct and clear view of the balls.3. In the Britney Spears part when she has the baby and is shaving her head after she is kicked down the Pit of Death you see a shot of her while falling saying "K-Fed cone back to me please! I'll let ya- i'll let ya under my skirt!"4. The American Idol part after he kicks Sanjaya down the Pit of Death, Paula says "You move me-" and claps. In the Unrated Ryan Seacrest makes a face at Paula's weird judging- in the Unrated it zooms right to Simon. Then a while later, after he pushes the judges down the Pit of Death Leonidas motions to Ryan to jump in and he does. In the Unrated, you see a quick shot of Ryan peeing his pants before he jumps into the Pit of Death.5. In the scene with the Ancient Advisors and the Oracle, When Leonidas is making the plans about the war, in the rated you see him draw in the dirt but you don't see what he drew, well basically you hear the plan, but in the Unrated you see Leonidas drew a butt and a penis looking like it will (you know the rest) haha :)6. In the scene where Leonidas first sees the warriors, Leonidas's buddy's (Kevin Sorbo) son in the movie has a package. In the rated, Leonidas say "He has a huge package". Then directly cuts to Sunny-O putting the package down. In the Unrated, Leonidas says "He has a huge package" and Sunny-O continues with some unrated lines- "Mom said to give you this fudge. And then (Kevin Sorbo) says "Your mother is a great woman".7. In the Paris Hilton scene where she gives Leonidas a tip, there are a few parts added in the Unrated. The phone call is the extra footage:Paris: Hello? Oh Hey Nicole. Nothing, just some guys with swords- Not there actual swords- agh your gross. Yeah i'm hungry, did you eat? Oh you ate an almond, yeah you are done eating for the day. Bye Sexy.In the Unrated a line is added: (In capitalized letters)Paris: Hello? Oh Hey Nicole. Nothing, just some guys with swords- Not there actual swords- agh your gross. Yeah i'm hungry, did you eat? Oh you ate an almond, yeah you are done eating for the day. OK - THEN LET'S GO TO PINKBERRY Bye Sexy.Then a couple lines are added.After Leonidas says "I'm sorry but we cannot use you", Paris Hilton starts crying and saying:[Rated]"Ah! Ah! NOO! It's not fair! MOM! (And then she throws an armor in the air and says) I'm not as supid as I look!" an then gets hit in the head with it and falls down.[Unrated] (Unrated lines are capitalized)"Ah! Ah! NOO! It's not fair! MOM! YOU'LL BE SORRY! YOU'RE MAKING A TERRIBLE MISTAKE! (And then she throws an armor in the air and says) I'm not as supid as I look!" an then gets hit in the head with it and falls down.8. In the scene with Queen Margo and Traitoro, when Queen Margo hint to him and say's "I'll do anything for my husband" she drops her dress and Traitoro says "Yes! I am totally getting laid. Goodbye virginity!". The he says in the RATED version "I must warn you I suffer from ED-!", and in the UNRATED version he says "I must warn you I suffe from Pre Mature Ejacula-TION!"9. In the scene at Xerxes House When Paris Hilton walks in she is walking to Xerxes and In the rated version Xerxes starts talking but you dont see him and Paris is looking at a couple kissing and says "That's Hot!". In the unrated she is walign to Xerxes and sees the same couple making out but instead says "That's Sexy", UNRATED- she sees two lesbians making out and says "Thats Hot!" And then that's when Xerxes starts talking.10. Then at the end- there are a couple shots of dancing between The Spartans and the Persians.An even more detailed comparison with pictures can be found here.
