I know the DC is shorter than the workprint, I was trying to work out (given the differing framerates) what the difference is between the UK official version and the bootleg DC I have, as I'm pretty sure they're the same. I think that as the US version is cut to shit, that various companies (like Revok who I mentioned in an earlier post) are selling the Jap DC as uncut to the US market because it's not available there, wheras the movie is available in the UK.

I was gonna stick a bunch of info in here as to the differences between the two versions, but there's no point as most sites I just looked at refer to the workprint as the Directors Cut.
The following piece of text was taken from a review of the DC, suggesting that the follwing scene was included in the DC but not in the official R rated version

Surprisingly, the action scenes weren't the only bits cut. Also missing is a "love" scene between Van Damme and Butler.

The love scene wasn't in any version except for the workprint. The DC & the workprint are two different entities. Jesus, people are so retarded.

Note: the previous moan I just had wasn't directed at anyone here, just in general at fools on the internet.

By the way... cover & disc art for the workprint would be ace if you could create some, I'd try but my creative skills are fucking dreadful.
