History of violence

[doctor satan]

I know its not horror but i 've got a question & i'm sure one of you has the answer.
I was going to order this from the States but noticed on the extras list theirs something called:

Violences history: US vs International versions.

So anyone know what the difference is & which version is the one to get?

If you ARE in fact from england...I'd suggest the USA version, from what I understand, many a film has been butchered in the ol' UK.

Normally i get the Region 1, but on a few occasions the Region 2 has been superior, The Cell, Braindead, Black Mask. the difference could be violence trims for the Region 2 cut but it could also be sex scenes trimmed from the Region 1.

Rented this from blockbuster last night. anyone got any ideas what the difference is between Regions? The dvd i watched was a rental copy with no extras so i'm still in the dark!

According to IMDB:

There are some small differences between the US and the International version when it comes to some of the violent scenes:

The guy who gets his nose smashed into his skull has more blood spurt out in the International version.

The throat stomp scene differs by having the victim cough up more blood in the International version.


They arent always 100% reliable, but there usually right.
