It has NEVER had a decent release here. Uncut, yes, but never in its OAR. It's been out of print here for years too. Considering the greater frequency of Region locked releases both here and in the US, I fail to see why a US release should put anyone in another territory off. Arrow are locking most of their releases now, Second Sight too. What kind of business sense would it make to not release something that people have been fervently crying out for (on message boards like this one, social media, etc.), just because it's widely available (or will be in a matter of days) in another territory, region locked?
Not everyone imports, especially with the frequency of region locking these days. If Arrow for example took this attitude, 4 of their recently announced titles wouldn't happen. Including the likes of Lifeforce, which is getting more extra content than a US version. Not all releases are created equally. I fail to see any harm with UK fans wanting a UK release of a movie widely available elsewhere.
