Bad Santa Directors Cut on DVD October 10th

For the first time on DVD, Dimension Home Video presents the Director’s Cut of the hilarious film Bad Santa. This exclusive version is Director Terry Zwigoff’s ("Art School Confidential," "Ghost World," "Crumb") cut of the film, which also features a new audio commentary track from Mr. Zwigoff and Editor Robert Hoffman. This hilarious comedy hit stars Billy Bob Thornton ("The Bad News Bears;" "Monster’s Ball;" "The Alamo;" Academy Award® winner, Best Screenplay, "Slingblade," 1996) as Willie T. Stokes, the incorrigible "Bad Santa," a department store Santa of uproarious bad holiday cheer.

 

Underneath his ill-fitting red suit, Willie is actually a safecracker who makes one big score every Christmas Eve. As shoppers head home from the mall, this Santa and his ingenious Elf - Willie’s smaller partner-incrime Marcus (Tony Cox) - crack the store safe and make off with their holiday stash. But then comes Phoenix. Here Santa and his Elf find their annual heist endangered by a pesky store manager (John Ritter), a savvy mall detective (Bernie Mac), a sexy Santa fan (Lauren Graham) and an innocent but beleaguered 8 year-old misfit (Brett Kelly) who decides to believe that Willie – as intoxicated, acid-tongued and felonious as he seems to be – is the real Santa he’s seeking.
