Any truth to this?
I'm trying to decide wether to get the Blu Ray (of which arguments still rage wether DNR has 'ruined' the picture quality). Someone on Amazon said this:
"In one of the most thrilling scenes Swiss Corporal Schiess, nursing a bandaged leg, leaves the relative safety of the hospital and launches on a solo rampage, bludgeoning Zulu warriors with his crutch and bayoneting them left, right and centre. Coming to Chard's rescue at the crucial moment, as John Barry's rousing music soars, Schiess's wild killing spree culminates in a quite extraordinary climax with his turning triumphantly to the camera, laughing deleriously at the slaughter with a hideous and terrifying glee. I don't remember anything quite like it in the whole of cinema but now the memory is all that is left because the Paramount censor has taken it upon himself to clean up not just the print but also its content. Now, as Schiess, facing away, begins to turn towards the camera, the scene suddenly breaks off to Chard, lying wounded on the ground, depriving the sequence of its disturbingly deranged conclusion. Why? Has Paramount taken fright at the prospect of a lawsuit brought by a sensitive Swiss soul, objecting to the portrayal of one of his countrymen as a goggle-eyed maniac, revelling in bloodshed? No idea, but the Paramount 90th anniversary "special edition" DVD of 2002 suffered the same cruel cut."
Now, I guess I've not seen that scene, unless it was shown on tv maybe. I've only got the DVD. Can anyone verify the veracity of this fellows claims? And would you reccommend my upgrading to the BR?
