Face/Off - Australasian BD cut status?

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 06 Apr 2008, 18:02

I'm interested in getting the Australasian BD, as UK release looks to suffer from the same age old BBFC cuts. "BALISONGS ARE EVIL AND VIOLENCE IS EASILY IMITATED BY THE IMPRESSIONABLE YOUTH, LOL!"

This thread seems to suggest that the Aussie release is uncut, hopefully it's true.

Thanks in advance.

It's uncut on Disney BD in other parts of Europe so I presume they'd use that master in Australia/New Zealand.

I'm waiting for Paramount to re-release their HD-DVD.

I've got the Australian Face/Off release, and it is uncut...

There's a screenshot comparison between the Paramount HD DVD and Disney BD here:

And the review of the EU disc on High Def Digest, compares the two:

Thanks also Eon and for the comparison link.

As suspected the BD is minutely sharper but bother are fine. The BD does haves Lossless Audio but the HD-DVD has Full-rate DTS or DD Plus so should be fine, it does also have considerably more extras.
