Won't be getting the UK version then - I'll take my money elsewhere thank you

Glad I stuck with the Italian release then...not that I would have ever known about the edits!

The runtime for the BD is down for 153mins which would be the uncut version.
I think we will have to wait until someone has a copy to confirm.

I have seen the uncut version and I don't have a clue what could warrant a 15cert.

Running time wouldn't always confirm it though would it, as most cuts only usually amount to seconds, rather than minutes in total.

Normally I would agree but there is a 5 minute difference between the cut and uncut versions submitted to the BBFC.

 

[STEELBOOKJUNKIE]

I read on the link that it is only 48 seconds or so not minutes? Gutted I didn't order the Italian version when I had the chance, it's unavailable from them now so more expensive than this version will be.

 

[BDDB]

There is a theatrical cut that was about 48 seconds shorter but that has not been submitted for the BD release.
It looks like there maybe two cuts on the BD but this unconfirmed until one of us has a copy in hand.

I'll be one of the first as HMV isn't far from my work place, a few stops on the tube, work won't even know I was gone

How do you know that if you don't mind me asking please

 

[BDDB]

If you look on the BBFC website you can see all of the cuts submitted for the release and if any scenes were cut from it.

For the home release we are only interested in the last two as they were submitted last month and we ony have 12 cert on home video not 12a so they would have to submit a new cut.
Not going to know for sure until I get hold of it.

(My mistake by the way I didn't check the time but the theatrical cut only had 43 seconds cut out.)

This was released today in Ireland. I take it nobody picked up a copy yet?

 

[Bladelia]

Just had a phone call from HMV Oxford St, saying my pre ordered copy is available to pick up, maybe I will try tomorrow to get it early.

HMV Edinburgh Instagrammed a picture and it looks like the DVD is a 12 rating and the Blu steelbook is a 15. So maybe it is uncut after all.

Well I never!

 

[Kris Hollands]

Is this worth a blind buy, never got round to watching it at the cinema, heard a lot of talk before but not a lot after!

Plus I have some HMV vouchers.
