Inside is fine but the front is meh and the back is lazy

Pics clearly show the gloss, on the coloured design in the middle on the front, and the little logos across the back. Basically it's the same steel as the Italian version.

Agree from the pics it looks spot Gloss, it's WWA so they will all be the same...plus don't know why but HG3 their steels which was the same as BB/FS had so much more depth and richer color tones, when they were compared side by side the FS/BB one looked sick, even the interior had nicer color tones... this will be stunning I am sure. I personally love it and way better than the FS/BB one.

and I actually love the back artwork in hands it is subtle as a design but so cool the way they put over and over the Kingsman Logo, I found it boring at first but after seeing the movie just love it as I understand why this logo used, nice touch classy back artwork with the rest of the steel.

To me, the back artwork for these Kingsman steels looks like a pattern you would see on a tie or on upholstery. As a matter of fact, I would love to have a tie and/or a chair/couch with this pattern. I love it.

Not entirely sure but some US steels are made in Mexico, Captain America 2 being one and the finish was far poorer that those made in Europe even though it'sthe same design. Not sure how many are made in Mexico though.

You must be right as it is mexico that has the shared print run with Canada. But I do have to say it is an Excellent quality steel(if you can actually find a copy that has no manufacturing issues :rofl:), very nicely done it is really nice. But I prefer the WWA from the pics I have seen...

I love that the back artwork on the Canadian Copy that it is Bluish, it goes very well with the steel front look of it.
 
@The New Boy @Mickle_89

this has been sold out for a long time, it went sold out few minutes after it went live in the Classic sale june 1st at 8PM Czech Time.

What you see right now flashing, the number is basically the amount of days left until it is released for those who managed to get a copy.

@Mickle_89 I would try to avoid from posting captured pictures from the information you find from the film arena website, as it can be confusing,
instead just providing simple explanation. And if you are uncertain of the information, someone who knows well film arena will answer,
but the posted pictures can mislead people.

Thanks :)

Hi @Actarus - apologies, as previously stated I am a 'newbie' to the HDN Forum so any information I've shared or disclosed is only trying to be of a benefit and to help other members. However, your point is kindly taken as I am still learning ;)

No need to apologize and welcome to the message board :) I was only saying so as film arena do not operate like any other retailer, so posting pictures that may have other information on it, may mislead or lead to other questions which may not be of importance...and they use different terms in regards to selling, so it can become confusing.

this was not a reply in bad faith, just to make things simple...there's a few of us on here who know extremely well all that is related to film arena, so you can ask all the questions you would like and you'll get a proper accurate information :)

I'm sorry, I have to disagree with you.

It's not 'clearly' portrayed in the FA pics at all otherwise I wouldn't have a differing opinion.

Someone posted a pic of the Hong Kong steelbook earlier in the thread where you can clearly see the spot gloss. The FA pics look nothing like this. Infact the more I compare the two sets of pics, the more I can't see the spot glossing.

I'm not saying it's not there, but you can't 'clearly' see it in FA's pics.
 
Can anyone tell me what exactly was cut from the UK release of this film??

I've heard it's to do with a crude joke at the end, but after renting this last night, I can tell you the crude joke was in the UK version I watched.

The U.S version is supposed to be a good 51 secs longer. Am I missing something??

I looked into that for 2 weeks to the point that I was fed up, without adding a long paragraph, forget about the 51 sec it's long to explain and article was misleading)

All uncut copies run time are 2h08:44 sec

but after digging and digging...and not focussing on the copies that are censored but finding the ones that aren't.

they have to clock at 2h08:44 sec with this run time you should not have issue.

~The BB Canada Steel (using US Disk)
~The Mexico Steel
~The Taiwan Steel (Using US Disk as per @RabbitChen)
~The Hong Kong Steel (Using US Disk @RabbitChen)
~Czech Steel Film Arena (Czech release should have runtime 2:08:44, which is the same runtime as the US "unrated" and uncut version (according to this site)
~Italian Steelbook was told by @Flloydo Uncensored Clocks at 2:08:44sec
~US Blu-Ray


all those right now I managed to know they are Uncensored Rated R(or similar depending on the country)
The Taiwan and HK are distributed by the same production company and was told it is same as the US Disk
The BB.ca, j-card states 13+ but they used US Disk as when you put it in it states rated ''R'' restricted(but in Canada whether it is 13+ or Rated ''R'' it is the same as Canada is more lenient in regards to classification)
and for the UK I could not confirm, but @Flloydo stated it is Uncut

but if you
saw the crude joke that the princess says if you save the world I'll let you Up The Butt and he comes back with champagne and we see her behind
than I would assume the UK copy you watched would clock also at 2h08:44sec

You can add the Italian steelbook to that list. Also nothing cut from it and clocks in at that time

I will look after breakfast if my copy has chinese simplified subs and if so try...

but if you are right, this could be why some comments were made that the Asian version is Censored, but yet to confirm !

PS; again thanks for all the help yesterday so nice of you.

According to the BBFC scenes of violence were altered by the studio in order to achieve a 15 cert. Details here (Spoiler alert).
