Oh, Charlie Brooker, I love thee.
Peter Richardson is an odd chap. He basically created The Comic Strip and had creative control of many of its output and because of this, he has gone back and edited quite a lot of the old stuff. The dvd version of The Supergrass has about 8 minutes missing and some of the TV episodes have had scenes snipped too, for no reason other than he wasn't happy with it. Now, I fully respect that but his edits were pointless and have caused fans of the Comic Strip to complain. One of the edits for an episode called Transatlantic Raiders completely removes an important emotional beat and without it, the ending just isn't the same.....
The US will get the full line while the UK will get it cut short by a sound like what happened in the PG-13 fourth film. Fox are bastards, they precut Chronicle and Taken 2 to get a 12A rating too. The theory is, like the R in the US, kids can see 12A films with an adult therefore more cash. I've read that there is up to 50 cuts in the UK version so we may as well get a fucking 'edited for TV' version.
Fun Fact: When Die Hard was first shown on TV in the UK, that line was dubbed to "Yippee kiyay, Kimosabe"
That's about the best scene in it, mate ![]()
Despite being rated R in the US, A Good Day To Die Hard has been given an uncut 12A certificate in the UK.....
EDIT: Actually, apparently, it has been pre-cut by the studio to get a 12A certificate so we get a different version than the US. Hooray ![]()
Sophia Crawford is awesome. She was the stunt double for the original Pink Ranger too, fact fans.
Yup, That's the sort of thing I read about the film ![]()
That's not what I'm saying at all, though. At no point did I defend my liking of the film in that way. My stance is- I like it, you don't, who cares?
Why do you have to understand? I mean, can't you just accept that some people like stuff you don't and vice versa? Why do I need to justify my liking of a film to you? And vice versa. You're not 'missing' anything, it's just the way it is, mate ![]()
Nobody can explain why you don't like it, that's a 'you' thing. I do like it but not because it's set in London, don't care about that, I just like it. I personally have fun with it, you don't so fair enough. Everyone is different, my friend we all like different things ![]()

Thought I'd save you the hassle ![]()
Multi-cultural, are we?
We have to learn these important lessons in life, Trey, I agree.
Of course it's a Stephen J Cannell production! Awesome ![]()
I'd watch it ![]()
