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

Sophia Crawford is awesome. She was the stunt double for the original Pink Ranger too, fact fans.

I have heard a lot of reviews saying they didn't like the film. I've read that people can't sympathise with the main characters but they do redeem themselves. It is liked by people in the US and Scotland, so it's not a cultural thing so who knows? It just didn't grab you is all. Someone will come along and defend it soon enough, no doubt.

I enjoy tea, too.

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

Thought I'd save you the hassle

Isn't really that  much different to the way Scotland is now.

And I'm with Bullet, it's a mess of a movie. Has some good ideas, even the ones nicked from other movies, but it tries to be so many things at once. It's far too muddled although I do like the climax using Two Tribes on the soundtrack.

I was going to call it Mad Max II but I decided against it as I actually prefer The Road Warrior. And on my blu ray, it has both

(I wasn't going to call it that to be a dick, I just have a thing about calling films their original name. I call The Raid: Redemption, just The Raid, for example and although it is called Marvel's Avengers Assemble here, it's plain old The Avengers to me )

Road Warrior is great, I got it on blu ray last year and was pleasantly surprised to discover it has a George Miller commentary on it. May need to give it a re-listen soon actually.

Why would we judge awesomeness?

Of course it's a Stephen J Cannell production! Awesome
