I read them but Romero's wording "sneaking through customs" implies they dont usually go through, or something (IMO)

Well it is Illegal (so they tell us haha), so any company doing it breaks the law by Sneaking them under the radar.

Maybe they pre-pay the customs before reshipping from the UK.

At least Grim didn't quote "himself". ;)

Saw the BD in HMV today. Will wait until it's a decent price. £19.99 is not a decent price.

I know the press release said that, but I can only find a submission on the BBFC website for the Director's Cut. I believe Mark made the same point.

The sleeve says contains Theatrical and Director's Cuts.

No idea why the TC isn't up at the BBFC yet. The BD is cert '15' (a downgrade from the original '18').

You know I sometimes wonder if Brad and Grim are the same person. How the hell could you be so prolific a poster on these boards Grim and not notice we talked about the UK release of Léon a couple of weeks ago? I can't believe you haven't read any reviews of the release as well considering it's been out for 4days and a number of reviews have been up online for weeks now! :o

Only Grim uses Play.com to find out film information. Oh bell :D. It's been known for weeks and weeks ;).

No way. I'm not sure if 15 is too low.

Which states both cuts are included :?.
