questions about the full color and partial color versions of The Cage on Blu-ray

[Extrocomp]

I know the TOS Blu-ray release has two versions of The Cage: a full color version and a partial color/black-and-white version. Is it true that the full color version is missing the line "you were like a wild little animal"? Does the partial color version still have this line?

The line is spoken right after the line "I was from the very first moment I saw you in the survivor's camp".

I don't handle the Blu-rays often. And I did not rip the mixed version into my media center. But I can confirm that the line is missing from the full-color episode. I'll check the mixed version later.

The mixed version has the line, but note that the mixed version is the Standard Definition copy released on home video previously. It is not HD.

I hate losing that line in the color version. Actually I'd like to see them assemble the original cut as much as possible. I assume most of the other bits have been lost though. But the original assembly cut has a lot of historical significance in my mind.

Thanks.

Is that line on the red clamshell DVD set? I've watched it but not since 2009 so can't recall it...

Wouldn't that be three versions, with the full color version available with original and enhanced effects?

There were enhanced VFX on "The Menagerie," not "The Cage."

There are enhanced SFX for The Cage on the blu ray.

I'll have to go back and check. I ripped only the original VFX for "The Cage" into my media center. I must have forgotten there were updated shots. (Although I opted for the TOS-R version of "The Menagerie.") The original Blade Runner is still ahead, with something like 7 versions on home video.
