I don't see any difference...

Seems to be more information on the sides of the otherwise atrocious uk release.

I presume the UK disc is still cut?

Not that I would touch it.

So it's two choices:

1. More information of a crappy transfer

2. Less information on a far superior transfer

I'd go with choice #2... then again, I have the US DVD, which may be the same transfer (albeit in NTSC) as the Swedish disc. Actually, in all honesty, once I bought an all region player years ago, I bought the UK DVD for my dad. Needless to say, he easily spotted all of the cuts in the print. The US disc is completely uncut.

The UK disc looks appalling like an nth generation VHS

The Swedish is far superior.

I expect MIA just ripped their VHS transfer. Lazy forks.

I didn't know Owen Wilson was in this.

Lol... Richard Norton with dodgy mop. Still Chuck does punish him with a swift kick to the balls in the following shot.
