James Bond: The Ultimate Collection (1962-2012) + Volume Collections - Page 73 - Blu-ray Forum

To truly make a "complete" set, I would recommend getting the region-free BBFC-15 UK re-release of Casino Royale to get the film in its original uncut version, as the US PG-13 cut (and the previous BBFC-12 UK release) was edited.

Also, the bonus features for the Die Another Day BD are lacking a lot of the extras found on the 2-DVD "Special Edition" release from 2003, and even though it's not a very good film the bonus features are actually quite good.

Ok so just to double check the 2015 U.S. The James Bond Collection set (with the white packaging) that I received in the post today definitely has the censored version of Casino Royale?

I can't be bothered reading through the previous million pages.

I know you can buy the uncut version on its own over here. The reason why I didn't order the U.K. set is because that set and all the other U.K. are missing most of the original audio mixes for the older films which is a huge deal breaker for me.

Yes.

Bought the Daniel Craig Steelbook yesterday and the Casino Royale UV is the uncut version. Love this movie but all these years I'd never seen it. Really not as much of a difference as I thought it'd be for some reason, but nice to finally have. (I've got four Blu-rays of this movie now and not one of em is the uncut version

)

I'm going to order the standalone uncut MGM BD from Amazon UK and swap out the disc in the box set.

Aren't the cuts of Casino Royale barely different? Like a half-second of something? I forget, but the movie doesn't even have an entry at movie-censorship.

That's true if you're comparing the uncut version to the BBFC 12A version.

On the other hand it was quite heavily cut in the U.S. Check out the first post in this link if you want to see what was cut.

What do you want that for?

They look revolting!

rocknblues81 · 03-19-2016, 12:42 AM

I bought this set off ebay (with the exception of the digital copies) brand new for 75 bucks. I thought it was worth it since Casino Royale was the only film that had previously owned.The booklet is nice enough.

It's about a minute longer but I think both the opening bathroom fight and the later staircase fight work better in the "uncut" version. Might not sound like a big deal but it actually is. Especially if your a fan of the film.

Does this edition include UV copies? I have several of the actor collections which do include UV but was curious if this edition does?

No, the white box version does not include any digital copies. This one does:

Thanks-

So I guess the best deal if you want the digital copies is the individual actor packs. I purchased them all but Dalton (didn't have in stock) and Craig (already own) for around $70 with UV

The black set was $100 a few times, which was by far the best deal for discs, digital code, bonus documentary and book.

I saw it on ebay brand new for like 89 bucks.

Have the UV code from the Ultimate Bond set for trade. PM if interested. Picked up the black set on amazon for $85 a few weeks ago.

Yes, but they also edited out part of the ball busting scene.

sheri1983 · 05-26-2016, 12:12 AM

I was thinking about importing the UK version what do you think guys?, I don't care about Documentary or The UV code, I just care about the movies and Picture and sound quality.

Hmmm. I might be wrong but I think the UK version has that scene edited, not the Aussie version? At any rate, I'll compare the US edition with the Aussie version at some point.
