Bad Santa is a Golden Globe-nominated 2003 comedy film directed by Terry Zwigoff, produced by Joel and Ethan Coen, and starring Billy Bob Thornton as the title character and Tony Cox as his partner-in-crime. Bernie Mac, John Ritter (in his final live-action film), Lauren Graham, Lauren Tom, Ethan Phillips, Brett Kelly and Cloris Leachman are also featured.
The unrated version of the film was released on DVD in 2004 and on high-definition Blu-ray Disc November 20, 2007 as Badder Santa (it is common to differentiate versions with a varied name (eg, Ferris Bueller's Day Off: Bueller, Bueller Edition)). A director's cut DVD was released in November 2006. It features director Terry Zwigoff's cut of the film (including an audio commentary with him and the film's editor), but is three minutes shorter than the theatrical cut and ten minutes shorter than the unrated version.
