The DVD says, [Extended Version]?

Question

The Librarian: Quest for the Spear?

How much more do you get of the movie?
Anything added in the movie?
Parts in the movie I would notice are added from when it aired on TV?

Thanks

I haven't seen the DVD you are refering to, but during my time selling videos and DVDs for a national entertainment chain, I noticed that "extended versions" of TV movies (or even selcted episodes from TV series) usually refers to the feature film equivalent of "deleted scenes". The difference being that they are restored to their original position in the movie, rather than being accessable seperately. It is impossible to tell until you've watched it, how much more you're getting. It may only be one scene lasting only a few seconds, or it may several scenes, totalling several minutes. Whether you will notice depends on how well you remember the movie from its original airing.
As a rule, the scenes that are deleted are done so to keep the film within the scheduled block of time allowed by the network, and they pick scenes that have little or no effect on the viewer's ability to follow the story.
I would recommend renting it first to see whether you feel it's worth it to add to library permanently.
