Aliens vs Predator Films - Which Version?
After watching Alien: Romulus, I have been looking at buying the Aliens vs Predator films. I see there are various releases, both US and Internationally. This one is listed as having two cuts of each film. Is this the best one to have?

Indeed, I think that's the cheapest and best option John. These got released once on Blu-Ray and that's been it.
The first AVP especially really needs a remaster but every version is stuck with the same old MPEG-2 Blu-Ray transfer (except for, apparently, a selected few European releases -- NOT the UK -- which have AVC encoding, but it's so old I'm not sure it would matter in any case).
REQUIEM I think is just awful but at least you can select the R rated cut which omits some of the gross-out stuff in the maternity ward.

Lol...both films are guilty pleasures...REQUIEM is so over the top with gore and disgust factor.

I don't think that double feature Blu-Ray has the supplemental materials that the DVDs had though - cannot remember off the top of my head, but I think one of them had a separate disc of supplementals including a documentary (and both films I think had commentary tracks on the DVD). Andy, can you confirm?
