Page 1 of Goonies on region 2 dvd

This 16 year old film is being released on DVD on 4th October 2004 on region 2.

According to play247 the film has been changed from it`s original release (as below):

Please note: this DVD edition of `The Goonies` features a slightly extended version of the film which includes a couple of short scenes that were trimmed for the original UK release! These scenes have raised the certificate to a `15` rating from the original `PG` certificate.

Anyone have any idea what the scenes where???

Above gives info on the film and the scenes cut from the film but what scenes will be included in the r2 version and why would the DVD company alienate kids from watching this film as the rating is now a 15 when the original was a PG

Is this Region 2 version of The Goonies that is being released in October the same film version that was released on Region 1 about 2 years ago?
The extras on the Region 2 seem to be the same as the Region 1 version!

YUP! it`s exactly the same (if not worse)

Apparently so. All regions are near enough identical. The R2 was slated for release a while back, but was put on the back burner for a while.

The cuts listed at the IMDb aren`t the BBFC cuts. The main cuts (to drop the picture to a PG) are mostly around the scenes where Chunk is interrogated by the Fratellis and amount to a collosal 16 seconds. In the UK cut they simply threaten him. In the US print, Mama Fratelli shoves his hand in a blender and hits puree (but withdraws his hand before fingers are lost).

The R2 UK release should be identical to the R1 release now (and that one is excellent if you`re a Goonies fan). Deleted scenes include the Octopus sequence (and you can see why they cut it).

But does it have the bit near the start with the subtitles? Mouth translating for the maid

I would have thought so. The last time it was on telly they included the subs and if I remember correctly it wasn`t past 9pm.

No way that would be cut especially if the film has a higher rating now. The only time you`d lose that sequence was if you were watching the film on ITV1.
