Hear, hear.

That’s okay because I won’t be touching the bluray version with ten foot barge pole! Bluray can keep it!

I’m buying the best of the best format DVD Delightful Video Disc!

What nicknames does bluray have besides being blue and blue is cold colour its not welcomed in my home cinema!

MrE26 is right there. The BBFC *really* need to start wording stuff properly to avoid this confusion. One time they used to put notes like "This is cut as per the UK cinema version" but they dont seem to do that now.

But yes, the DVD will be the cut 12 version.

rejoice for the people only going to buy the DVD. It is not cut.

So blu ray and DVD arrives uncut on homevideo. Good job by the BBFC

I wonder how the US cover and features will differ.

Why no commentary, that's disappointing.

Quote: The extended cut of The Da Vinci Code is a 15 on Blu-ray though, so I doubt it has any of the BBFC changes.

Sorry, you are incorrect. The uncut version was passed 15 quite some time ago for "moderate bloody violence" and it is the "unrated" extended cut.

Quote: Da Vinci Code wasn't 'cut' as such, they just asked Sony to tone down the sound effects during some violent scenes.

True, no footage is missing, but edits (or cuts) *were* made to the soundtrack. Since these were UK-only changes, it is fair to say that the UK 12-rated versions (cinema and DVD) are cut.

The extended cut of The Da Vinci Code is a 15 on Blu-ray though, so I doubt it has any of the BBFC changes. It will be the same for the extended cut of Angels & Demons since it too has a 15 rating on the Blu-ray cover.

99.99% of the population will not even know it is cut and will buy regardless.
It is only film fans like us who even realise and care.

What really annoys me is now with the BBFC allowing multiple age rating releases on BD and DVD they could easily release an uncut version as well but can't be bothered.

I hope no one buys them. Who in the hell want a cut movie in their collection

But are they cut when ther are released on Blu Ray and DVD?

If they are they are pissing off the fans big time and that is not right at all!

Taken from the BBFC listing of the film

"This work was passed with no cuts made.  
During post-production, the distributor sought and was given advice on how to secure the desired classification. Following this advice, certain changes were made prior to submission ."

Therefore Sony pre-cut before submission knowing it would not get a 12A in the UK. The question then becomes was it cut specifically for the UK, like Casino Royale etc. at the pre-certification stage or was this for the global version.

I would expect it is only the UK version which was cut as most other countries take a more relaxed attitude to violence at the 12A or similar rating level.

Um yes it has. The distributors couldn't get a 12A without making some changes, so they re-edited it for the UK market, just like they did with The Da Vinci Code.

the UK version has not been cut. What kind off nonsense do you speak off

I ended up buying the extended Da Vinci Code on Region 4 DVD (cant say it was one of better purchases), am I gonna have to use the Aussies again just because Sony seem prejudice toward DVD owners?

I only ever pay a few pounds more and its worth it. Also, if you wait a few months they are the same price anyway.
So true - even now I have noticed that down under a hell of a lot of BD's have dropped at least $5 recently...

At least you dont pay 4 times the price to get fu**ed over !

!Where do you buy your Blu Rays???!

In stark contrast to The Da Vinci Code, I found this film pretty enjoyable and will probably pick up the Blu.

The French have a limited edition coming too, something like angel and demon bookends..original.
