-When the farmer punches Sing in the stomach, the blood-spitting shot is removed.
-After the beast has buried Sing in the ground, you can see blood dripping from his fist.
-When Yuen Wah receives the flower pot on his head, there's blood on the floor.
The R1 removes about 10 shots I'd say.

weird they would cut this as it's r-rated anyway

running both shows the region 1 runs around 35 seconds shorter however the columbia/star opening logos on the region 3 run longer than the basic sony classics logo on the region 1. interestingly the moving menus on the region 1 include a shot of chow spitting blood after getting the stomach punch from the farmer.

There's also a shot of a villager shitting on the floor in his house that has been digitally altered to remove the shit.

just had a look at the the scene with the farmer yes the quick shot of blood has been digitally removed yet it's in the moving menu

utterly bizarre to cut a movie that would have got an r with or without blood.i'll keep the region 1 for the extras so it's not a total loss.

So is the UK release exactly the same as the US one?

Good question Mark, anyone? For DTS alone I'd prefer the UK DVD over the HK 2 Disc SE.
Kung Fu Hustle: 2 Disc HK SE @ DVD Times here:

Think the R3 for disc 1 (Uncut + DTS) and the R1's extras for disc 2.

That sounds like a cut for the sake of a cut. Speaking of cuts as it's still R rated why make these cuts?

Which I'm guessing also removes the joke.
At least this one kind of makes sense to cut it.

I rented the R2 many weeks back and I'm pretty such that the cut footage was present. I definately remember Chow spitting blood over the old lady's face.
