5.0 out of 5 stars see I Worship His Shadow first, November 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lexx - Tales From a Parallel Universe [VHS] (VHS Tape)

a suggestion: this movie is part two of a trilogy; it helps alot if you see the first part, I Worship His Shadow, before viewing the others; it helps explain the characters and the plot, and is a tremendous film in and of itself. You will enjoy Supernova much more.

1.0 out of 5 stars what have they done to this great series?, January 18, 2007

This review is from: Lexx: The Dark Zone Stories (DVD)

I just loved the LEXX mini-series back in the days, so I got it on VHS as soon as it was released over here in Germany. Sadly, I had to find out those tapes contained versions of the movies that were quite heavily cut - something only too common for German releases. You might be surprised, but censorship on movies is really rigid in Germany. Even movies that are being released as NC-17 are very often cut-down versions. The latest example being "Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning", which will hit German cinemas - and probably DVD-players - solely in a version that's about 10 minutes shorter than the original, although being rated NC-17!

Anyway, don't even think of buying this DVD, since the censorship is immanent here, too. For example, movie no. 3 is stripped of SIXTEEN MINUTES of fun, violence, and sex on this release; movie no. 4 is missing nearly 20 scenes... and so on. This is absurd. Apart from that, as another reviewer already mentioned, these DVDs contain only German language, what renders them completely useless. Sadly, that's another practice all too common in Germany.

If you want to see this great mini-series in the way it was intended, look for the british DVDs from kult T.v., "Lexx - The Movies" 1.1 and 1.2, containing all four films in their uncut, english language versions. They're a little hard to hunt down nowadays, though. I've also been told there's a more recent, uncut canadian release from "Koch Vision", but I don't know any details about that one.

5 stars for the movies, -4 for this release. Equals 1 star only. Too bad.

This review is from: Lexx - I Worship His Shadow [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I had read another review that had said the first "season" of Lexx was not available on DVD. Hey! It IS out on DVD. Basically the first season is the 4 made-for-cable movies. They are called LEXX SERIES ONE -EPISODE ONE OF FOUR, TWO OF FOUR...etc. Hope this helps anyone who is looking for the beginnings of Lexx, one of my favorite shows ever.
