Dances with Wolves (1990) UPDATED
Missing Shout! Factory BD runtimes: Theatrical Cut (181:06) and Director's Cut (233:49).
Needs noting that the Shout! Factory trailer is in 1080p, as per the US Fox BD. Is it also 1080p on the German discs?
Add to the "OVERALL: Draw" footnote that only the German BD includes the intermission for the Director's Cut. This also seems to apply to the DVD.
Movie-Censorship: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=1186797.
The three US and German 2-disc releases all have poster and photo galleries, though they're confusingly notated differently on each. The US Fox's poster gallery is in 1080p; is it also 1080p on the other two?
The US MGM DVD has "The Creation Of An Epic" documentary at 81:09. Is this confirmed? Where noted, every other DVD and BD has it at around 75 minutes.

A few reviews confirm the documentary is 81 minutes. As for why it is shorter on the Blu-ray, no idea. Possibly edited for copyright?

Updated the Blu-ray page.

Re: Dances with Wolves (1990)
I'll eventually get that US MGM set myself and report back...
Can you add the footnote, and Caps and Movie-Censorship links to the DVD comparison please?

Re: Dances with Wolves (1990)
I’ll leave it to someone else to update the DVD page. A lot of work for that and I’m backed up with other things.

Obviously no one seemed to care to take this, so updated the DVD page myself as much as I could.

Re: Dances with Wolves (1990) FAO Staff
Nice one! Just this footnote to add, mirroring the one for the BD comparison, and a note on each release:
- Note some US, UK, German and South Korean releases include an intermission for the Director's Cut.

It's confirmed for those and not for the others?

Re: Dances with Wolves (1990) UPDATED
It's apparent from the listed runtimes. One or two of the others for which there are no timings may have the intermission too. I suspect the Japanese may well be one.

Re: Dances with Wolves (1990) UPDATED
Thanks. I thought we may as well get the two remaining German releases listed too:
Title: Dances with Wolves (1990)
Country: Germany
Region: 2
Releasing Studio: Kinowelt
Case Type: Digipak
Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Anamorphic?: Yes
PAL or NTSC?: PAL
Soundtracks: English and German DD 5.1
Subtitles (are they optional?): German (yes)
Cuts: (and if you know it, precise run time) None (173:36)
Commentaries: None
Extras:
- "The Creation of an Epic" documentary (74:39)
- "Making of Dances with Wolves" featurette (20:58)
- Photo Montage (with Introduction by Photographer Ben Glass) (9:21)
- Music Video (Main Title Theme) (3:52)
- Poster Gallery (stills)
- Trivia (text)
- German Theatrical Trailer (2:26)
- English Theatrical Trailer (2:38)
- 19 TV Spots (10:04)
Notes: The extras disc appears to be the same as that for the already listed Special Edition; if so, the latter is missing these Easter eggs.
Easter Eggs:
- Extras menu 1: Editor Neil Travis' Presentation Reel "Second Wind" (5:19)
- Extras menu 2: Director’s Cut teaser trailer (0:17)
Amazon ASIN (UK, French, German, USA releases only): B000M4R5GQ
Source:* https://ssl.ofdb.de/view.php?page=fassu ... vid=198250
According to OFDb, this two-disc Director’s Cut (in keep case, ASIN: B000NKH8HA) is a repackaging of the first two discs of the already listed Special Edition. If so, the latter is missing these Easter eggs from disc 2:
Behind-The-Scenes/B-Roll Footage
- Military Parade (2:11)
- Timmon's Death (3:56)
- Fight with White Man (1:11)
- Animatronic Buffalo (2:17)

If you can tell us how to access the easter eggs that would be helpful.

Re: Dances with Wolves (1990) UPDATED
Sorry: I don't own either and can't elaborate on what's in the links. I've searched via Google and even scoured all the 300-odd reviews on Amazon Germany, but no luck. 
Can't they be listed with a note asking for instructions?
