Bridget Jones

[mooky]

Does anyone know whether the Region 1 version of Bridget Jones is any different to the version we'll finally get in Region 2 ?

I wondering whether, as its an english film, whether they've amercanised it at all ( changed some words or phrases etc. ).

As this DVD's out way before it seems to be coming out in Region 2 ( December ) I was contemplating getting it on Region 1 .. but then suddenly wondered this... Anybody care to comment ?

The only thing i've heard is the R2 version is cut for language. I thinks its just one word (4 letters beginning in C;) ) If there was anymore serious changes like you've mentioned i'm sure i'd have heard by now.

According to the Internet Movie Database:

* UK home video versions reportedly will have some dialogue revoiced to remove one instance of the word '*****' and substitute it with the word 'cow', to avoid an 18 rating.

* There are subtle differences between the same scenes in the USA and UK versions of the movie. This includes not only different takes of the scene, but sometimes different dialogue. For example, one version of the first job interview has a question about "the El Niño phenomenon", others have a question about Microsoft. In addition, during the credits, the USA version has a home movie of Mark Darcy's 8th birthday party with the young Bridget. The UK version has interviews with the various characters about the new relationship between Bridget and Mark.

This is on the R1 as a deleted scene though.
