i saw mi2 many times its my favorite film but when i saw the trailer & search the movie on the net i found out it was 3 hours long it was edited by paramout what a shame i wish i meet tom cruise someday & beg him to let me see the uncut version of the villain.you see the trailer & you will know why.
This is actually a great action movie which was butchered by the studio. Whatever inconsistencies may have been evident were clearly a result of trying to censor John Woo, which is Ridiculous since so many more violent American movies already exist. Actually the bike chase scene where they jump off their bikes into each other and fall off the cliff to fight was really butchered. After the bikes explode they both fall separately from each other. Sean actually gets up after falling, points his gun at Hunt which point Hunt charges at him, lunging both their bodies off the cliff. One can clearly see the cut at the end portion of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRQBA3pHOG0
It seems the studio is too embarrassed to release an uncut version since they know how much more sense the film would seem to make compared to the crap they released ( just as in the case of "hard target" which anyone who's seen the workprint knows that region 1 release DOES NOT do the movie justice).
These theatrical releases are ridiculous! Honestly who do they think they're doing a favor to?! Whats the point of releasing half a movies? because frankly thats what the studios do! People can handle a bit of violence and lengthy actions scenes. I mean what is this the 1920's?! Give us a break and release the UNCUT FULL VERSION to ALL action movies! There is no logic behind these cuts, they might as well had just not made the movies. Oh, and we also desperately need an UNCUT Face/Off. Peace
