Warning: avoid the US Blu-ray of Quick and the Dead

[Daemonia]

I got a copy of the US Blu-ray of The Quick and the Dead in a trade on these very forums - and it's a censored version. It loses the love scene between Stone and Crowe and misses the conversation following it. The omission of this scene and the dialogue that follows, setting up the relationship and consequent reasons for their actions, really spoils the film for me. Apparently the UK release on Blu-ray is the longer, international cut of the film. Looks like I'll have to double-dip on this title. I should've done my homework first, that'll teach me (and probably explains why the trader was eager to offload it LOL ).

So, consider yourselves suitably warned - avoid the US release of this title, like I should've done.

Hmmmm...so does anyone want to trade me for it?

Thanks, Vin - I've realised this too late. It's just not a film that I thought would exist in different variants and assumed all versions worldwide would be alike, as it's not something I would think would be cut, but I was wrong. I'll do my homework in future.

I didn't even know the international release was an unrated version. Thanks for the tip.

See, I knew something good would come out of this thread. Glad to be of service, Rob!

Better off with a DAWN OF THE DEAD mate.
