Dune Professional Edition, DVD
There have been three distinct variations of David Lynch’s 1982 version of Dune and quite a few variants of those.
The theatrical version is the shortest at 140 minutes long.
The Japanese Laserdisc version was 190 minutes long.
A notable sub-variant of that is the TV version (Disney/Sci-fi) which is the LD version, with seven minutes of footage removed for objectionable TV content.
The third version is the region 2 DVD version, which adds 6 more minutes of footage and restores the special effects that was lacking in many of the scenes of the LD version.
The theatrical release features a brief introductory narration spoken by the ‘princess’. The LD version has a longer spoken introduction by Frank Herbert, with still paintings and drawings used to bring the viewer up to speed on the story. The LD version (available on Japanese Laserdisc) lacks the blue color in the Fremen’s eyes, indicating that the scenes were cut before special f/x were added.
Contrary to urban legend, no. 6, 8, 12, or 36 hour long director’s cuts, ever existed. The only ‘director’s cut’ of the film was the one shown theatrically; Lynch never had a hand in any other version of Dune. Lynch’s original intention was for Dune to have been about 3-plus hours long. To that end, about 5 hours was shot. This is also confirmed by what author ‘Frank Herbert’ wrote in the introduction to the book ‘Eye’. It would be impossible for a 6-hour version to exist and eve a 5-hour Dune would mean the inclusion of many scenes never intended for the final version (for reasons of redundancy, etc.). It is only necessary to read any of the final scripts for the film to realize that there was never any intention of making Dune more than 4 hours in length at the very most: the script for anything more just was never there.
Contains narration by the author, Frank Herbert and almost one hour of extra footage.
Running time: 3 hours and 14 minutes
