What on earth had to be cut from Mrs Doubtfire, I have to ask.

I have the uncut (though it is non-anamorphic) R1 DVD of this and the cuts seem ridiculous and pathetic?

It would be passed with a 'PG' certificate uncut today, surely?

The review doesn't say if the disc is cut though. :(

Anyone know if the R4 is cut?

the running time of the r2 and r4 seem to be the same if that helps

The BBFC cut is only around 13 seconds long and running times are rounded up, so no. :(

Thanks anyway. :)

Anyone else? :confused:

Sexual innuendo that went beyond what the BBFC considered suitable for a PG certificate. If I remember rightly, it was originally released with a 12, then cut and reissued as a PG.

So can anyone confirm that the R4 disc is uncut? :confused:

From what I've seen the reviews at MichealDVD are pretty accurate when it comes to pointing out cuts, so it's probably a good bet the R4 is not cut. You can always mail them and ask of course....

Also perhaps woth noting that the running time quoted by the review (119:51) is longer than any video version classified by the BBFC, but having said that the most recent entry in the BBFC database indicates a running time of 119:48, which isn't short enough (assuming the time quoted in the review is accurate).

I emailed the reviewer a few days ago. He wasn't aware of any BBFC cuts and said he'd get back to me but still hasn't. :(

Ask the BBFC if the Aussie disc is cut? :p
