Alien Quadrilogy
-
the best compilation to get. Got it a cheap price. Finished watching the entire series again with renewed interest, this time the director's cut of the set instead of the extended or theatrical version
Alien - the director's cut is just awesome
Aliens - more extended scenes but nothing much here yet it remains just as exciting and involving as the theatrical version.
Alien 3- this one, the director's cut blows the first 2 movies out of the water. its almost 30 minutes longer and has CGI version of the Alien added. The best disc in the set.. Its like watching a whole new movie
Alien Resurrection - significant improvement with the director's cut

Sounds interesting but what examples of director's cuts are there?

As in "the director's cut of the Alien(s) movies". What was added inside each director's cut. Just some examples. "More gore", "deleted scences" etc.

ebay.
There is may be no real difference between special editions, director;s cut ect.
Basically a director's cut is the original storyboard and scenes the director intended to.
Aliens special edition may very well be the director's cut as well.

In the compilation, dont know . I have seen it just the single Special edition disc like the one in the picture in laserflair for $9.99. I think there is 2 version speical edition and definitive edition disc. But since the Alien Quadrilogy (4 movies in a set) is the latest release, it should all be the final editions.
