'Rapid Fire' R4 Australian DVD is CUT!

For those who don't know, the R4 DVD release of "Rapid Fire" is taken from a CUT U.K. master. Several seconds of the use of nun-chucks during a fight scene were removed.

First off- I wouldn't post such info' if I didn't know for sure!!!
Second- How do I know!?!... I own both the R4 Aus' & the R1 U.S. DVD releases.

On the R4 DVD- you barely see the bad guy take a swing at Brandon Lee, as opposed to the R1 DVD- where you get to watch the bad guy display his skill with the nun-chucks for several seconds, before Brandon throws a rag/towel at him & then knocks him down.

So... If you love this movie, do your self a favor & get the R1 U.S. DVD!

WHOS YOUR DADDY NOW!!!???!!! HA,HA!

The Region 4 dvd was released twice, both with the same dvd artwork. The first release was cut and the newer one is uncut. I own both, the first was sourced from the UK master and the second from who knows where? But it definetly has the few seconds of nunchuck usage in the finale. The same thing happened with the Commando dvd.

I just watched the Finnish DVD and no nunchuk action.

It's the same as the UK version: http://dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=1310

They stopped cutting movies in Finland in 2001, but in some rare cases we get slapped with an UK master that has violence cut out (or German, I've got an absolutely ruined Mad Mad 2).
