The BBFC say no cutssaltysam wrote:Aparently disney have released a censored version of The Avengers on BD in the uk and also cut out a lot of special fetures including the director's commentary.
If thats the case (that its cut) I'm buying the USA BD. I'm sure the bloody spear tip was in the cinema version 
It was, but they'll have used one censored European master for the Blu-rays.grim_tales wrote:I'm sure the bloody spear tip was in the cinema version
Re; Executive Decision, isnt a censored master used for the USA BD?Markgway wrote:I wonder if Warners will bother actually submitting the uncut versions (of the Seagal films) to the BBFC or just put them out regardless as per usual?
We've already had one unofficial release of Above the Law (not one of my favourites TBH).
I have the US editions of the two Under Siege movies.
If they release Executive Decision (shame about the PC censorship) and Hard to Kill separately I would pick those up... otherwise I'll wait for a good price for the US single discs.
£25 is a fair price, but not for only two films I need.
Yeah, there's was a comparison at Movie Censorship but it's been removed.saltysam wrote:Aparently disney have released a censored version of The Avengers on BD in the uk and also cut out a lot of special fetures including the director's commentary.

But which country was it cut for? Germany? Seems a drastic measure.gasteropod wrote:It was, but they'll have used one censored European master for the Blu-rays.
True, alas. Warners used the PC European master. Perhaps again with a single global HD master in mind. Sucks. I'm surprised there wasn't more outrage given the political reasons for the cutting.grim_tales wrote:Re; Executive Decision, isnt a censored master used for the USA BD?
WTF! Despite being more not less cut surely it cannot still display a British certificate? It's not the version the BBFC passed.gasteropod wrote:It was, but they'll have used one censored European master for the Blu-rays.
Technically, Brad is right. If the BBFC haven't passed that particular version then the certificate doesn't apply.bradavon wrote:WTF!

. I'll pick it up at some point. I thought it was great. Ah, thanks. I couldn't find it.gasteropod wrote:It's still there? http://www.movie-censorship.com/news_en.php?ID=4149
Well, AFAIK, Disney should resubmit the film as cut. But whether that will happen is difficult to say. One would assume that the BBFC are aware of the situation by now.bradavon wrote:What's the precedence here?
I'll rent it soon.We just know the UK Avengers will eventually be cheap but the USA one will remain pricey too
I'm not sure if you'd like it that much. It's extremely dark and pessimistic, though quite unique also for being set entirely in snowy landscapes.Markgway wrote:That's on my to-watch list.HungFist wrote:The second best spaghetti western of all time, Il grande silenzio, coming to JP BD in December
http://www.movie-censorship.com/news_en.php?ID=4202"There’s been no censorship, no foul play," declares Disney UK home entertainment spokesperson Lydia Rodrigues, "the version of Marvel’s Avengers Assemble on Blu-ray disc in the UK is the same as the version shown theatrically. It really is."
Presumably they will do once everyone's bought this versionMarkgway wrote:'less extras because the masters didn't arrive in time' = (assuming that part is true) rather than delay the item we decided to shaft you AGAIN and will not go to the expense of offering you what we should have in the first place.
I have to agree with you and whats worse is that the bloody spear was deemed "inappropriate" by Disney so they removed it, even though the BBFC admit it serves "narrative purpose" (its an important plot point)!gasteropod wrote:http://www.movie-censorship.com/news_en.php?ID=4202"There’s been no censorship, no foul play," declares Disney UK home entertainment spokesperson Lydia Rodrigues, "the version of Marvel’s Avengers Assemble on Blu-ray disc in the UK is the same as the version shown theatrically.

...and if anyone knows what that means drop a line to disneysucks.comgasteropod wrote:The Avengers Blu-ray & DVD was just on Watchdog, Disney claimed the censorship was 'for compliance reasons'
LOL, so rather than Disney correcting their mistake and giving the UK what it deserves, we are instead told to buy the US version (and thus more money for Disney), brilliant."Thanks to those of you who have let us know about an issue on the Marvel Avengers Assemble UK Blu-Ray and DVD release, which has a less graphic depiction of Agent Coulson's confrontation with Loki," said Disney in a statement. "Each country has its own compliance issues relative to depictions of violence. Unfortunately, another region's elements were inadvertently used to create the UK in-home release which minimally altered this scene in the film. We thank our fans for their vigilance in recognising this and apologise for the mix up."
Disney has even taken the unusual step of suggesting that fans purchase the US Blu-Ray of the film, which should work on UK players. "We know that hardcore fans with Blu-ray players are probably going to end up buying the US release, which has the commentary," Rodrigues told Home Cinema Choice. "The American Blu-Ray is region-free."
