Blu-Ray of AVP DOES have the unrated cut.,
Blu Ray review:
The Largest thing about this BD of AVP that is consistently not mentioned is that the BD contains BOTH the PG-13 theatrical cut AND the unrated directors cut of the film. Amazon only lists the disc as the PG-13 version, and even an external BD review site failed to mention the inclusion of the unrated cut. So if you’ve wanted to get AVP on BD and haven’t due to a lack of the unrated cut, dread not, it’s on the disc.
Record feature is excellent. It’s not the best picture I’ve seen, but it’s nowhere near the worst. Certainly better than the DVD 4/5 overall
Sound is excellent as well. Just like record, it’s not the best, but it’s not the worst. Choices are DTS-HD 5.1 (4-4.6 mbps) in English. French and Spanish in Regular Dolby Digital 5.1 (not HD audio). Overall a 4/5 for the DTS-HD track.
This review isn’t about the movie itself, nor is it meant to be all-inclusive. My main reason for writing the review is that the unrated cut isn’t advertised by anyone it seems in regards to being on the BD version and that is a huge deal to me. Hope this helps.

|Better than the Theatrical Release, but not by much.,
For those of you who see “AVP Unrated” and reckon “Blood, Gore, Language, Violence, and Nudity”…THINK AGAIN!
Everywhere here was a few flecks of blood, here is now a gallon. Everywhere here were two “campy” scenes, here is now only one, But this is not even an “R” rating version of the film, evidenced further by the PG-13 rating on the back of the DVD case.
This fild must have stuck with the “Director’s Cut” name and cut out the “Unrated” mark, since in my opinion it does not deserve it. If you can swallow the plausability of the tale even a litte bit, the this version is more honest and bloodier than the theatrical release, but not by much. “Campy” scenes still abound. Extra footage, abridged in Deleted scenes from the Theatrical DVD version and a few other scene changes make this version a lot more fun to own than the first, but hard core fans of the original movies may still find this title a small wimpy.
With all that negative pointer out of the way, if you take a more objective, “outside the box” outlook on the film, it is fun and is a excellent mix of sci-fi and action. I would heartilly recommend this version over the standard AVP Theatrical version, and you will pretty much find all the original Theatrical DVD Extras included in this edition as well. (Commentaries, Making of featurette, etc.)
