Now that I watched one of the trailers more closely, I see this appeared in it, so I could be wrong on this point...


UNLESS of course, this special effect was unfinished in the US cut and tweaked in the international versions (since trailers aren't always identical to the theatrical release of a film).

I'd have to go back and check my US non-DC Vhs tape over the summer...


Please do, I just checked the French cut as the effects on the last beheading on that were different to that of the international/US DC but checking the Fasil quickening that was the same as all other cuts.
