Is Swordfish Cut......?

[SnakePlisskin]

Hi,

I`ve just watched Swordfish on Region 1 DVD but is it CUT...?
The bit where there on the Bus does John Travolta says "They kill one person we kill a nation they blow up a building we blow up a country" I thought this was in it when I went to the cinema to see it BUT its not in the Region 1 version was I dreaming it or has it been cut because of what happened on SEPT 11.Any help please.

Thanks

Never saw it at cinema but JT does say those things, it happens when Hugh Jackmans character is taken to the theater place and you see the bus being built/worked on

OH NO DON'T TELL ME THE ************ CUT IT!!!!!!!!
There sure is that line, I've quoted it a million times.
However, now I'm not that sure during which scene it comes up, but on the bus while it's being flown/carried by that copter, Gabriel Shear talks about some points, like killing an innocent girl or even a hundred innocent people to save the world from an epidemic or something like that. Was that part there at least?

chapter 20
1hour 8mins and 23seconds into the film.

God, I'm bored!;)

"They bomb a church, we bomb 10. They hijack a plane, we take out an airport. They execute American tourists, we nuke an entire city. Our job is to make terrorism so horrific that it's unthinkable to attack Americans"

"Here's a scenario. You have the power to cure all the world's diseases but the price for this is that you must kill a single innocent child. Could you kill that child Stanley? "
"No"
"You disappoint me. It's the greatest good"
"How about 10 innocents?
"Now you're getting it: how about 100, how about 1000? Not to save the world but to preserve our way of life."

The above is on the R1 DVD.

Thanks Richie :D :D

These words are music to my ears.
Only I gotta wait 5 more days for a dvd! :mad:

I was worried about cuts myself, but I feel safe ordering a copy now.

On the subject of Swordfish (which I haven't seen yet), does Vinnie Jones actually speak in it?. I know his role is comparitively small and he isn't listed on the cover, but I hope his contribution is more than just a "silent henchman" job.

Glad to hear they haven't butchered the movie anyway.

[Lenny Nero]

Well, he is almost silent, but has a "presense" throghout, and I think one or two lines, too bad.

I couldn't remember him speaking, but his role in the flick is very very small - and...

He gets killed by one of the hostages during the bus/helicopter chase (he falls through the window of the bus and gets caught in one of the hostages - who's then despatched by their proximity detector going off, detonating the bomb

Not very Vinnie!

[Lenny Nero]

No, the bus is hanging by only 2 front lines to the copter, so it's hanging vertically, with the back doors swinging open and so he falls out of it along with one of the hossies, each of which are wrapped around with dynamite and proximity triggers, and as they fall down together, hostage explodes right near one of the skyscrapers, they added an obvious but nice CGI effect destroying part of the skyscraper and falling Vinnie along with it, heh.
The bus also swings and takes out part of a skyscraper, which was like "wow, this is so cool" and now it's "offensive"...well screw that, it's still awesome.
