movie cut versions

[Actual]

Having just read the die hard thread about scenes being deleted to make the film a 12 or what ever it is I was wondering,couldnt big movies like die hard ect be released as both an 18 version and an edited 12 version?some of the bigger films could even have extra scenes to encourage people to see the film in both formats.

It is not allowed by the BBFC for some reason. Wish they had just made it an 18 in the first place.

just wait for the DVD, you know that by then it will have most scenes restored. though the Region 1 might be the original cut.

The theatrical version of Live Free or Die Hard/Die Hard 4.0 is not cut by the BBFC. It's simply a different version of the film. A watered down version was submitted to the MPAA in order to obtain a PG-13 rating in the US. All changes, alterations (etc) were made in post-production by the producers. Re-dubbed dialogue, alternate camera angles, fast cutting, trims to scenes, digitally erased exit wounRAB from gunshots, you name it. An unrated version will be released on DVD very soon. I would say to anyone that hasn't yet seen the film... save your money and wait for the unrated DVD.
