Yes it was, the uk edition had to have zombies, however the publisher released the patch on the US site, therefore UK customer could download it and make it uncut

Brad, the only persons making bitching about these sensors, are those you are most likely never getting to know to, as they are film fans in Germany. I assume that the only one of them you probably know is me. When was the last time you bought a German DVD?

The reason so many people bitch about the BBFC is that a (once) wonderful DVD label called HKL was located in the UK. They produced some of the best versions out there and people were simply annoyed when this version was destroyed by the BBFC. I guess the same people couldn't care less about a German DVD that gets cut, because they mostly don't even feature English subtitles in the first place.

I always enjoy irony. Here's a guy who calls the grammar police whenever someone says "could care less" instead of "couldn't care less", yet he misspells words and gets the usage of "your" confused with "you're" (and vice versa).

Are you talking about Carmegeddon or Half Life?

He's talking about Carmageddon, AFAIK Half-Life was only censored in Germany.

So which other languages do you speak as good as I speak yours? Do you understand any of the languages I know except English? German? Arabic? French? Maybe a bit of Mandarin? No? Well, then I'd suggest to STFU.

You speak excellent English LD

, I never studied German at school

I did Spanish and French.

Grammar errors don't bother me as a reader on forums (unless its in annoying txt spk). I know what people mean

I speak two languages:

English and bad. 8)

Unless your name is "Stephen Fry" I've learnt not to correct people's English. I consider mine to be good but we all slip up and as LD has said considering it's not his mother tongue it's even more excusable.

As long as I can understand what is being conveyed it's enough. What does get my goat is people speaking/writing English when it is their mother tongue and they can't even be bothered to string a sentence together, that pisses me off.

How good is your French and Mandarin?

Well, I do get around in France. I wouldn't be able to talk about specific stuff as much as I do in English, like cars or DVD stuff or so. But I am able to talk in general. I'm sure I could have a nice conversation with Tom.

As for Mandarin, I have been studying it for almost 2 years. I still have problems with that Shanghai dialect, but those who talk Han Yu will have fun listening to me. He he he!

Ouais ? Dis un truc en français, juste pour voir.

P.S: This thread has gone to hell.

Wow ! Nice. Much better than Grim and his 20-spelling-mistakes-a-word sentences.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 04 Jun 2006, 17:56

Isn't Grim's that good then? It's much better than mine. To be fair he's only spoken it afaik in classes.

Care to translate guys? I pasted both into a translator and what came back made very little sense.

I hear Shanghaiese is another language though??? What's Han Yu?

Cheers btw

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 04 Jun 2006, 19:22

Shanghainese is quite different, but similar enough to be able to recognize what they say if you try hard. It's not as different as Cantonese. Cantonese is completely different. Although I think it sounds so much cooler than Mandarin, I still prefer Mandarin, as it is sounds so much of a pure language.

Han Yu is spoken Mandarin. Zhong Wen is written Chinese.

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 04 Jun 2006, 19:26

i learnt some cantonese in college, the tutor also taught us a little mandarin, they are majorly different, but i'll be damned if i can remember much past counting to 100, and basic phrases...since the lessons were pretty boring and short. only lasting 2hrs for 10 weeks... but i can ask for mangos....

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 04 Jun 2006, 19:52

Sol did anyone except for Slasher pick this up? Is it NTSC to PAL?

£15.99 (from CD WOW) for a 3 Disc Tin SE seems good value for money OR it would be except they've now put it up to £18.49 :shock: (after vouchers).

The cheapest is now £17.99 from Play:

But if you live outside of Europe it's still cheapest at CD WOW.

p.s - Cheers guys

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 04 Jun 2006, 21:39

That's bloody expensive. Do I dare wait till it goes cheaper?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 05 Jun 2006, 10:22

The original BR Tin was 20 notes and considering it's 3 Disc + Tin it's about average even though I agree it's still expensive. It won't be cheap for a while being an LE Tin. You could wait for the standard release if they bring one out.

I'd like to see the alternate cut but BR2 while no turkey was just average I'm not sure I could bring myself to watch it a third time.

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 05 Jun 2006, 17:48

You watched it a second time?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 05 Jun 2006, 19:25

Yep just like I did Terminator 3, hype can really kill a film. BR2 like T3 was hyped up so much, people were expecting another BR (or T2) it had no chance of succeeding (unless it really was as good).

On a second viewing for T3 and BR2 I was able to watch it on it's own merits. Sure it's doesn't come close to BR (nor is it as good as T3) but it is a decent enough average action flick.

I kept the HK 2 Disc DVD BUT have no interest in paying £2 shy of 20 notes thank you very much.

T3 is about 300 times better than the bile that is BR2

slasher13 · Post by **slasher13** » 06 Jun 2006, 10:26

Looking at the back cover of the Tin for Tartan:
Original Cut Runtime is 133 Mins (Approx)
Director Cut Runtime is 160 Mins (Approx)

Japanese Version Runtime:
Original Cut Runtime is 133 Mins
Director Cut Runtime is 153 Mins

Japanese DVD Runtime was taken from: BR2 Original DVD runtime Yesasia and YesAsia BR2: DC Runtime

So judging from the runtime entries, the Original cut is an NTSC to PAL conversion and the DC is Film to PAL. I still haven't seen the film yet, but i will check and pause in some scenes to see if there is any ghosting
