I checked the BBFC and the movie passed as "uncut", but it does seem strange to be missing 7 seconds. Can't be studio logos since it's distributed by Universal everywhere.

This is the UK disc below:

Disc Title: MILLIONWAYSTODIEINTHEWEST_G55
Disc Size: 43,226,342,103 bytes
Protection: AACS
BD-Java: Yes
BDInfo: 0.5.8

PLAYLIST REPORT:

Name: 00800.MPLS
Length: 1:55:54.363 (h:m:s.ms)

The Eastern and Western European discs also run 1:56:01.329 according to the scans online, and the fact that the UK/AU disc has only English options would also indicate that something is not the same.

I see what Foggy was on about on the other thread. Jesus Christ, it's seven seconds, probably of black screen, no need to blow your tops over it...

Then why did the UK and Australia get their own edition?

To be clear, there is now:

A North American edition (with two cuts)

An Asia and Eastern European edition (with the theatrical version)

A Western European edition (with the theatrical version)

A UK/Australia edition, with two cuts, but only English options

A (forthcoming) Japanese edition

The existence of this version makes no sense, as Universal could simply have given the UK and Australia the North American disc as well. The current situation means that extra cost was incurred, and there must be a reason for that.

The last time the UK and Australia got their own version of a major Hollywood picture that the same studio distributed worldwide on region-free media, was this:



and we all know what happened there, don't we?

Does the USA release feature a ratings screen beforehand?

They did it with Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Fast & Furious 6, neither has been discovered to contain a different cut or differing bonus material...

This is still a valid concern. At this point 99 percent of these types of worldwide releases have the same run time, down to the millisecond.

What we need is a full scan of the theatrical cut on the US disc, showing the .m2ts files which make up the playlist. Then we can determine if a screen outside of the film is the culprit, or if the difference is somewhere in the body of the film.
