The price on the Vestron US BD of Extreme Prejudice is too good to ignore, so I probably won't be getting the UK BD, but I'm glad to see it being put out and hopefully, Canal has a better encode if Lionsgate's encode is knackered.

Nope. Just the cut on the French disc so 99.9% chances it'll be the same for the UK. Here's the BDInfo of the French:

At least the bitrate is max'd out. But it's definitely a no-buy for me. Sad for a new label to start out like this. There's no excuse of missing/poor materials given that the Germans got the full cut. Time to hunt down the German disc then. I hate this
