I read on a site that is selling the Korean disc that it is cut by about 10 seconds.

Are there any special features on this disc? While I'm at it, where can I buy this DVD?

there's also an interesting (English-dubbed!!) trailer on the Korean DVD edition when the film was originally titled: "Switchblade Romance"

So...is it true that only 10 seconds are cut? And what are those 10 seconds?

Anyone know of any near future releases of this on DVD?

Missing from the Korean DVD (SPOILERS):

Spoiler:

- A snippet from the killer with the girl head in his truck.
- The actual head rip from the decap, the spray of blood, and the close up of the spray.
- The severed hand next to the phone.
- The initial impact of the axe and the shots of it being in him.
- The first 'rip-away' of the barbed wire stick aganist the killer's face where it directly shows the torn flesh on his face.
- The side perspective of the cut-away machine sawing into the driver's torso with him visibly screaming caked in blood.


To me, that's unacceptable, because the above scenes are primarily why I'm wathching a movie like this.

From what i have been lead to believe Lions Gate are planning to release this in August.....UNCUT!!
For the record...i own the French disc as i have a fairly good knowledge of french...although not totally fluent......i would have said that a non-speaker could get by for about 99% of the film...however...if you are familiar with the plot/ending there are a few bits of dialogue that become quite crucial in interpreting the film a bit better.

according to the MPAA's website it looks like Lions Gate has submitted it and it has received a NC-17. I think you're right Rich, I also heard that Lions Gate is going to release it uncut with the NC-17.
