Where did you hear this Mark?

Are the UE's out next year?
I can finally ditch my Jap DVD. Phew!!

The BBFC. So it's official. 8)

I heard that the UEs were due out in the Autumn... but someone suggested they won't come out until the next cinema film is due. Which could be frickin ages! So honestly I don't know at this point. At least it's coming.

I'll keep LTK for now then and maybe bin it when the UE comes out. 8)

As for GE and TND, isn't there very little chance these would be uncut due to the MPAA (not the BBFC).
I think quite a lot was cut from TND, though as you said the US print of GE restores most of the original cuts. I'm happy with my Euro GE disc (no BBFC cuts) at the mo.

Yeah, no hurry to get rid of the current edition. I have the uncut print taped off TV for now.

Well, if MGM released the uncut LTK in the US they would have to re-submit it to the MPAA for a rating. I'm sure it would still be an 'R' (at least it SHOULD be) so I suspect they would put it out UNRATED instead. The UK doesn't have that option, but no matter a '15' is fine. The same goes for GE and TND. There's nothing really stopping MGM from putting them out uncut. All the need to do is find the uncut prints, which I expect are lying in a vault in England somewhere.

I don't think THAT much was trimmed to be honest. The first set of cuts was made by the distributor to appease both the MPAA and the BBFC. Then an additional line-up of cuts were required by the BBFC to remove several headbutts. The IMDB has a list.

It does say "All Previous Cuts Waived" for Licence to Kilt (runs 127m 44s) - but that only takes into account BBFC cuts (I think?) - it was originally pre-cut by the MPAA, not the BBFC.

How muh did the MPAA trim the film - 10 seconds-ish?
Looks good news though, the print on my Jap DVD is not the best and looks old.

I would hope the UE is out in the Autumn, otherwise the BBFC wouldnt of classified it just yet.

I know what you mean... but the "SOME cuts waived" referred to the MPAA-approved version. "ALL previous cuts waived" refers now to all BBFC cuts - which INCLUDED the material removed by the MPAA. The MPAA cut only 10s for a PG-13 (which is actually very lenient IMO). The BBFC originally cut 38s for a '15'. Whether this uncensored print will come out in the US is still unconfirmed.

Never heard of the film

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 10 Jul 2005, 15:12

He means Licence to Kill.

Surely it should have been clear as we're discussing Bonds like Goldeneye in the same thread

too, if Romero is seriously saying he's never heard of LTK.

I barely remember any of the Bond films I've seen.

All I can remember from this one is Roger Moore shooting some thug on a boat.
Christopher Lee hunting some bloke at the start of Man With A Golden Gun.

My memories of Goldeneye are pretty vivid though, probably because I played the N64 game through many many times.

That's most impressive considering Sir Roge wasn't even in the film.

You have to at least remember some of the ladies! Were you blind

Maybe that's WHY he went blind??

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 Jul 2005, 17:43

TBH I'm like Eva bar the recent Brosnan Bond films they all blend together and while are enjoyable TV fodder I wouldn't want to buy them.

Maybe that's just me.

I was refering to Licence to Kill.

I remember some chick crushing a guy's skull with her thighs. Was that the evil chick from Goldeneye?

I saw the 2nd half of Die Another Day on TV last week, it was truly fucking awful.

So was I. Roger wasn't in it. At all.

Yeah, Famke Janssen.

Perhaps Eva is thinking of Live and Let Die?

That was on TV on Friday. Not one of the better films. Unlike many I rather like Roger, but the 70's films were a bit off, excluding Spy Who Loved Me.

For some peculiar reason ITV moved Diamonds Are Forever to Sat afternoon - and then cut it!! Barstools. The first title in this season to be cut at all. And not even BBFC cuts!!

What was cut?
LALD is a great movie IMO
