Is the European Blu-ray of Commando Uncut?

I'd buy this if I knew it was uncut. Anyone know?

Re: Is the European Blu-ray of Commando Uncut?

I'd be wary; I got the uncut version in the states last year and it had different cover art. Also, Play.com offers the warning "Please note: some edits regarding violence and profanity have been made to this DVD print by the studio (20th Century Fox) which were not required by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC)."

Not too sure, but since the cut version is almost unwatchable in contrast to the absolutely amazing full version, I understand your concern.

I assume you mean 'since the CUT version is almost unwatchable', and yes, I agree.

Re: Is the European Blu-ray of Commando Uncut?

New UK Blu-ray release is fully uncut! I have checked it against dvdcompare's check list of cuts for the original R2 SD-DVD release.
All the following cuts have been restored:

R2 DVD United Kingdom - (Fox) - Yes - 85:34 mins (PAL). Approximately 56 seconds of missing footage in total:
- 02:01 (4 sec.) Making sure the first target is dead by shooting him again.
- 21:18 (5 sec.) John Matrix snapping Henriques's neck.
- 45:31 (14 sec.) Close up of Cooke dying whilst impaled on a table leg.
- 66:50 (1 sec.) John cutting guard's throat.
- 67:09 (2 sec.) John cutting another guard's throat.
- 67:18 (5 sec.) John killing two guards.
- 68:35 (5 sec.) John shooting two guards.
- 70:20 (4 sec.) John shooting more guards.
- 71:36 (2 sec.) John stabbing a guard with a pitchfork in the chest.
- 71:40 (6 sec.) John using an axe and a machete to dispatch two more guards.
- 79:16 (2 sec.) Bennett gets a longer electric shock.
- 79:50 (1 sec.) Pipe hitting Bennett.
- 79:55 (5 sec.) Panning shot along the pipe protruding from Bennett's chest.

Looks the same as the R1 Director's cut that I own.
