Thanks: Gave 14, Got 26 |  The region free "cuts" thread?
I'm finding it a little bit difficult (and time consuming) to find information on exactly which UK blu-rays have been cut. I think we should start a thread on this. I would prefer to buy UK blu-rays but if they have been cut in anyway then I would much prefer to get the uncut versions.
If any can add to the other ones on the list as well as other blu's then please feel free as I want to buy these.
Criteria - region free or region B and blu-ray only! Specify which part of the UK release is cut, and which release is uncut.
Casino Royale
US Version - cut (part of the fight at the start)
UK version - cut (the tortune scene, the bit with the "ahem" "bits")
AUS Version - uncut
Face/Off
UK - butterfly knife scene cut
US - Uncut
Con Air
UK - Nic Cage kicks the guy into a pole is cut
US - Uncut
Crimson Tide
5 minutes less run time than the US version? Anyone know?
Master and Commander
Starship Troopers
S.W.A.T.
5 min less runtime? According to amazon
The Shining

The Shining | Dont NTSC films have a longer runtime then pal due to more frames (or at least that was the case of VHS)

What Amazon have probaley done is just put the DVD spec on the Blu-ray release so the running time wouldnt match up with the UK spec but I am sure they are exactly the same.

Con Air is not cut in the UK. Never has been. If the Blu ray is in any way censored, then I want to know why.
