The Eagle - Unrated version on the European BDs?

Our comparison now says that the European BD releases have the "Theatrical version". I just watched the UK release and it seems to include the Unrated version based on this link:

These different versions can be confusing, since sometimes there are different shots and angles so the running time can be very similar.

Anyone has other releases/regions?

I'll check my Aussie version when I get home, can't remember if it had the UK ratings on the disc. It's been in my collection for ages and is still in the "to do" pile :oops:

Another thing is the opening scene where there should be (I assume) some "burned-in" captions. Instead, we got subtitles.

Australian BD confirmed identical to the UK disc.

Thanks, updated. I assume that e.g. the opening is the same as in the UK version (no "burned-in" captions)?

It's exactly the same disc, the label has BBFC and Irish ratings on it. In fact, it doesn't even have the Australian rating, just the UK ones :lol:

Also, the opening captions appeared on my player as a simulation of the original burned-in captions, not as regular subtitles. In fact I had to check to make sure they weren't burned-in since they blended in to the background so well. Still seems odd to have done them that way since the only language option on the disc is English anyway.
