can anybody tell me what the difference is between this and the US release,... and is it worth importing?

also,... i take it the UK version isnt UNRATED like the US version?

The UK version (121 min) corresponds to the theatrical version (R-Rated) which was released in the US only on DVD. There were in fact three different DVD versions in the US: The R-Rated theatrical version (121 min), an unrated extended version (134 min), which I both have, and a Superbit edition that contained the R-Rated version only (121 min). On blu-ray just the unrated extended cut was released in the US, thanks Sony, not the R-Rated version. In the UK Sony apparently released only the R-Rated version. Might have something to do with the good work of the BBFC maybe, I don't know.
