According to the BBFC, True Lies was cut for video/DVD. However, according to dvdcompare, the uncut (ie European) version was released here in error. Evidently it was never recalled.

The Region 4 is uncut and anamorphic. Nice transfer too. Why wait?

I got the R4 version of True Lies after hearing that the R1 Special Edition had been cancelled.

The R4 (australian) version can be ordered from here for around £8.

It's uncut and anamorphic but the extras are pants.

Because it has Islamic terrorists like the Sept 11 guys.

True Lies 2 was canned for the same reason. The special edition DVD of the first was to cash in on the release of the second.
