I remember having a pirate copy of this on VHS from the US release before it came out at the cinema over here. I was about 7 or 8 and watched it again and again and again until I knew every frame off by heart. When I saw it at the cinema I was shocked at how different the film was to how I had previously experienced it due to the BBFC's nunchuka anxiety (although I didn't know that at the time, obviously) with whole shots being removed. Odd to think I'd become aware of cutting in films aged 8!
