I always loved the Godfather, remember as a kid watching the extended cut of I and II, I always though it was on TV not cable but who knows now its been decades.

I did get that Japanese box and was disappointed about the non English subs, just didn't think of it but it was a completest thing that one must have.
Do you remember if it had a different ending.

On another note, I guess all is out there but in digital land and will be streaming for years to come, but if you must own a physical copy then LDs and DVDs may
be your only bet.

The Godfather Saga (I think that's the right one, again I keep mixing Saga and Epic up) did originally air on network television in the USA only, on HBO I think. It was also later released on VHS in the USA but nowhere else as far as I am aware (Japanese Laserdiscs aside). I can't remember if the ending is different though.

I got the Laserdisc box sets for the same reason. I love the chronological version. Especially the earlier scenes when Vito kills the don and you see him hiding behind the wall listening in to conversations before killing him then running in to the grocers who helped him get away after knowing he was responsible. Lots of little details like that are great to see. I can happily watch the first two films without watching the turd, I mean third. With that said I haven't seen the Godfather Coda yet, the new version of part III. Is it worth a watch?

I would love to see a proper 4K UHD physical release of Epic and Saga. I think the trilogy is getting a 4K release soon so putting these versions out too would be a nice way to round it all off, perhaps with a nice dollop of HDR too.

There's some good information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather_Saga

Oh and apparently Jeff has it on his video service you can avail of if you pay him money for free delivery for a year. Just search for The Godfather Epic on his video service. USA only from what I can see for now.

I used to hate da turd, third.
But when watching all of it in a row it really ties up the story and is better.
I guess cheap cheeze does taste better with age.....

I'd kill to get my hands on that Cartel laserdisc myself, so if anyone has a copy they're willing to sell i'm all ears.

I'm surprised that nobody - myself included - has mentioned Twin Peaks: Visual Soundtrack [WPLP-9083] yet. The whole thing is LD exclusive.
