Do you know any scenes which are cut from the R-Rated, so I can check for you if they are present. Yes. (not suitable for children) | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

What about this release? It has an 18 UK rating.
According to our OFDb the UK-18 corresdonds to the german cut version (R-Rated). That listing is inconsistent, to say the least. On the one hand, it says "Entspricht der R-Rated-Fassung und somit auch der englischen DVD." On the other it says "Diese deutsche Fassung ist ungekürzt". Now, which is it??  |

Yes. (not suitable for children) I'm pretty sure it's the R-Rated version I have, but it's not easy to spot since the differences between the two are really small. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

Now, which is it?? Both. Uncut, compared with the US cinema version (R-Rated). Cut, compared with the Unrated version. In contrast the RC1 conveniently contains the R-Rated and the Unrated, a comparison of the Unrated, R-rated, and network versions, and other special features. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.

I'd say to use the initial country of origin theatrical release version as the starting point to compare later versions with is not unreasonable. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.

Another good one and must have is Dressed to Kill.
Dressed to Kill is on the TOP-25-LIST-OF-MOVIES-I-WANT-TO-OWN, but I didn't find an un-rated RC2 version yet How about this one from Amazon Germany Dressed to Kill (FSK 18)EDIT: Forget it! After some reading I found that it's the German version of the US cinematic release -> not the uncut version. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Not if that was cut to begin with. The initial country of origin theatrical release version is the completed original product, it can't be cut per se. Do you regard The Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Exorcist, Halloween, Le grand bleu, the three The Lord of the Rings-movies, Kingdom of Heaven, Troy as "gekürzt" because of their later, longer versions? | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.

| | Posted: | | | | E.g. the LoTR extended editions are clearly marked as such (as opposed to the theatrical release), and that's hardly the case here. |
