A Good Day To Die Hard -2013- Extended Cut 1080... !full! -

Beyond the Explosions: Why "A Good Day to Die Hard -2013- EXTENDED CUT 1080..." is the Definitive Way to Watch John McClane’s Final Stand

• US Blu-ray – The "Extended Cut" is on the same disc as the theatrical. Look for the 2013 release (Fox). Menu selection: "Extended Cut" or "Unrated."
• International releases – Germany and Japan got superior encodes. The German "Extended Cut" Blu-ray (1080p) has a higher bitrate.
• Digital – Avoid iTunes/Amazon. They usually default to the theatrical cut. Check Vudu/Fandango at Home – sometimes the "Unrated" version is listed separately.

Physical media is your best friend:

• 1080p vs 4K – There is a 4K master, but the HDR grading is controversial (too dark in Chernobyl scenes). The standard 1080p Blu-ray of the Extended Cut is the most balanced.
• Audio – The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is demo-worthy. The extended cut’s gunshots and explosions have better dynamic range than the theatrical’s compressed mix.

Removal of Lucy McClane

: The most significant change is the complete removal of Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s character, Lucy McClane.
