i am just about to upload a region 2 cover for true lies. i was really pissed off when i watched it.it's cut by 5 mins - why? the offensive scenes are when arnie smashes the car salesman in the face,and parts of the fight scene with the 2 terrorists in the toilets(such as where he hits ones head into the urinal) it's cut simply because its violence. i can't count how many times i've been pissed of when i see a film on dvd,that's cut from it's original form.that's one of the reasons i buy so many region 1 releases. any sort of cut annoys me.who are the board to decide what i can and cant see?i'm over 18 and responsible.it's classed as a 15 with the cuts,but why is it cut when i see lots of horrors now classed as 15 with alot worse content.one that spring to mind is house of wax,off the top of my head ..a finger gets cut off/someone is covered with boiling wax/an achilles tendon is cut/and paris gets speared by a long weapon on film(not for the first time) its the age old excuse of giving people ideas that they might act out..NEWSFLASH if someones going to do that then they're mentally disturbed to start with,and are just as likely to be set off by anything.using something they have seen in a film is just a poor excuse for the defence. IMO the best thing to do is leave films in there original theatrical cut,and increase the age restriction back up to 18....but then that wont happen because it's about making the most money from a dvd release.
