Anyone know if this is uncut and what's the audio/picture like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Betty Pei Ti Posted April 17, 2012 Member Share Posted April 17, 2012 As one of the reviewers below wrote: Die Qualität der DVD ist zwar nicht gerade die beste, aber dafür ist der Film wenigstens ungeschnitten (zumindest dann, wenn man zur FSK-18-Version gegriffen hat). Das anamorphe Bild ist von vielen Verschmutzungen geplagt und kommt auch bei Schärfe, Farben, Kontrast und Bildruhe nie über Mittelmaß hinaus. In Hongkong gibt es zwar eine remasterte DVD, da für die Restauration allerdings die Firma Celestial zuständig war, fällt der Film dort dank massiver Framecuts (am Beginn und am Ende fast jeder Einstellung fehlen einige Einzelbilder) fast fünf Minuten kürzer aus. Yes, the flik (FSK 18 = NC-17) is uncut, about five minutes longer than the other version but its picture quality is only mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Oily Maniac Posted April 17, 2012 Member Share Posted April 17, 2012 It is not fully uncut, but the cut scenes (from the taiwanese version) are there in the extras: http://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=3565 Edit: The taiwanese version has a different scene, so you can consider it uncut, at least all the footage is on the DVD.

Member Phoenix Posted April 18, 2012 Member Share Posted April 18, 2012 Is the Taiwanese footage the stuff that was missing from all other versions, referred to here before? So this is the best release, does it have English subs by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Oily Maniac Posted April 19, 2012 Member Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yes, it has the scenes referred to, english subs and dub but I don't know if it's the best picture quality available. It is decent, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Phoenix Posted April 19, 2012 Member Share Posted April 19, 2012 OK, thanks for your reply, it's appreciated. I wonder how many versions of this film I'll have to get, I think there were a few censored ones, the UK release with more of the ending / less censoring, and that left the Taiwanese version which was supposedly the most uncensored? So this German release seems to be a good one. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
