any news on if we will get it??

I've searched & searched over the last few months. I've ordered the German release as I can't see it releaseing anytime soon. According to amazon the running time is the cut release. I expected an uncut release but i'll check it when it arrives!

Our German cousins do enjoy cutting movies. I hope it's uncut mate. Here's a link saying it's uncut.

106mins isn't uncut!

It's probably uncut by German standards but the running time should be 109mins. Unless the PAL version is sped up

I seem to remember someone stating that some Blu Ray discs have faster or slower speeds than the dvd counterparts?? Something like that but i'm not clued up enough but i'm sure you know?

I hope it is indeed uncut.

If the running time should be 109 it would be still be cut since the film runs approximately 110:25. On PAL DVDs that translates to about 106 minutes, the cut UK DVD was 104:32. Either the reported 106 minute running time for the BD is a clerical error or the disc is 1080i50Hz. We'll know soon enough.

That is really cool I might have to order a copy as I have always really liked it.
If its left a lone.

It's rated "16" and it's uncut. As was the DVD that came out in 2007. It was cut back in the VHS days and rated "12" then.

It's usually DVD's, our PAL 50hz DVD's run slightly faster (than 24fps film) so 109 minutes of film would translate to 104 (and a bit) of video (which is the cut running time). Wikipedia says the film is 111 minutes(?), which would be 106 in PAL land.

The corresponding German DVD of HOWARD from a couple of years back, from the same label, was uncut. No reason why this shouldn't be.

Right!

And for those still in doubt:



Over 110 min. running time.
