What Have You Just Ordered or Received?

Do you know if Spiderman 2/2.1 are fully uncut (with headbutts) in the UK now BTW? I think one BBFC listing said "Full Uncut version" despite it being a PG still

AFAIK, they waived the cut.

But that's a comparison to the old, cut german dvd and the cut theatrical Hong Kong version. I was under the impression the Austrian (and French) dvd is the restored version, with violence that was never found in the Hong Kong theatrical version. Or am I mistaken?

That link was just to illustrate what was missing from the Hong Kong version.

The Austrian DVD restores that footage and the censor cuts made by the Germans.

You're not missing anything... no violence was cut from the HK prints.

There's an old post as asiandvdguide (now unaccessible) that appears to claim otherwise if I interpret it correctly. Quote of the original quote:

lots of extra shot over the Universe print more when his wife get killed..
when the guy gets his leg stabbed with bamboo and bled for a night

simon yam is extremely insane in the uncut version go order it,,, its like a new film
[...]
i have to say it felt like a realy different movie completly changed the tone like after 40% through it.. it was like a new film i always liked it when i had the LD but watching the unsubbed french release fully uncut was like watchin a new film.. get this at all costs.

Just checking this out now and this release is fantastic, I'd never heard of the label 'Cult Epics' before and they've done such a great job for this rather obscure (and undeservedly so) film that is excellent and clearly influenced Guillermo del Toro.

Just watched it and I agree it's not a keeper, so slow and boring.
