I recently picked up Face/Off on Blu-ray, naively thinking it would be uncut. I just assumed the same HD master would be used worldwide. Not so. The UK BD is still cut by 7secs, to remove sight of a twirling butterfly knife. This is just plain lazy on the part of the distributor, as this would probably sail through the BBFC uncut now. But no, they didn't even bother resubmitting the film for BD (thus no doubt saving money) and just put out the same old version. The ghost of Ferman lives on and we're still suffring for his stupid ****ing decisions during his tenure at the BBFC.
