. Ever considered stand up comedy?

Apparently there's quite a lot missing from the Japanese print......

Quote:

10.36: Dialogue between Walter Jones and Challis is missing. When we see the shot of Grimbridge on the stretcher in front of the TV, the lines "Hey, can I leave now?", and "Sure, I don't see why not" are missing, and cuts straight to Challis shaking Walter's hand and saying, "Thanks a lot for bringing him."
13.36: When Harry Grimbridge is murdered, the assassin enters the room and poises his fingers above his head, before using them to kill him. Only a couple of seconds of his death is shown, before it cuts to the mask laying on the floor, 22 sec.
34.34: When Starker is killed, the DVD is missing the second shot of the assassin's face after the fountain of blood sprays from Starker's neck. Furthermore it's missing the scene where Ellie is walking through the parking lot. It cuts straight to Ellie jumping in shock after Marge accidentally hits her car horn, 17 sec.
40.00: When Marge is killed, only a quick shot of her hands covering her face is shown, before it fades out to the next scene, 26 sec.
1.08.09: Halloween montage is shortened: it goes straight from the shot of the Silver Shamrock van in Seattle to the aerial view of Phoenix at the end of the scene. What's missing here is the scene showing the trick-or-treaters in Phoenix, Arizona and 2 children watching TV . The line "It's almost time. Hurry home" is heard as a voiceover at the aerial shot of Phoenix, 21 sec.
1.10.36: The scene when Teddy is killed, is shortened . It cuts out the part at the end where the murder gets up and walks off. It's also missing the time caption 7.30 PM and a shot of the motels in Silver Shamrock, 21 sec.

Even worse than the UK Sanctuary release. Sounds as much use as a chocolate teapot.

What happened Reaps?

Did you not do your research before hand?

Was blinded by terrific artwork mate

I wouldn't not where to look for cuts to Japanese dvd's......where did you come upon that info Vince?

vincenzo · #38 4th January 2009, 11:42 AM

I stole it from DVDCompare while their backs were turned.

The artwork ain't that good. You could have got 2 Ozploitation box sets for that kind of money.

I bought a r0 Korean version which looks like a port of the non anamorphic Goodtimes US release I owned.Totally uncut in a slipcover for about £6.00 inc P&P.I've heard dubious things about some Korean releases but I'm happy with it as well as their versions of The Beastmaster & Live Wire (UNCUT) I've bought.Angel Of Vengeance (MS 45) next for me & I want to check out if the Korean version of Private Lessons is uncut.
