Karate Kid, Part II (1986) - DVD cut? Help please

Postby Ewan_McMahon » 24 Aug 2017 16:40

Can anyone help with this please: I have read on melonfarmers.co.uk that "Karate Kid, Part II (1986)" UK DVD(s?) might have a censor-cut - however they got their information from IMDB and they even say it needs confirmation if it is true (and IMDB information of this kind can sometimes be unreliable).

Does anyone have their own copies they can check / compare? If it is true, then the Karate Kid, Part II comparison listings pages will need updating.

I have the Blu-ray set. Haven't watched it yet. Will try to confirm.

Any news James? I appreciate any and all help you can give. :-D

The BBFC site seems to suggest there was a censor-cut made (at least once) to type-"Film".

Trouble is I don't fully understand the BBFC layout of data (if it was cut for type-"Film" does that mean it was cut for every subsequent type-"Video" release? I don't really understand what the differences are anyway...) :-?

Have not had the chance to watch it but judging that my Italian disc had the same audio and sub options as the UK, and has the exact same runtimes as any others, it's pretty safe to say "uncut". I have not had the chance to look over the DVD page though

Updated the listing, and I'm going to go ahead and say I trust our listing that says the UK release was confirmed uncut.
