Both these tapes have an obvious R on the cover meaning they’re they R-rated versions.

Something to always remember; when a lot of US horror titles got released originally overseas the movies were re-cut to a countries specifications; the US ratings system is not the same as world wide restrictions. Now recently, older US movies re-issued on either DVD or Blueray have been released exactly the same way as US versions but to overseas markets they are listed as “uncut” because they are the US versions; hence “new” to their countries viewership.

As a downer as I may seem, I highly doubt these Betas have anything more than the normal US released cut.

Joe Blow, you are half right when you said -

“You must realised Friday the 13th Part 4 had never been offically released in Australia Uncut until early 2024’s. The first time I watched my imported region 1 dvd, I could not believe the amount of gore during Jason’s death scene. Before that, we Aussie’s only saw the machete strike then he was on the floor……the end.”

There was 2 versions, both identical released at the same time
onto video, one is as you said, you see the machete strike then jason is on the floor and it’s over, the other one you see the machete strike, then jasons head slides all the way down it and hits the floor… I had no idea there was 2 versions untill i got them both on video, the ONLY reason i got a second part 4 was becaue it was in a bundle on ebay with parts 1, 2 and 3 so i bought it, watched it and was like wow that’s a lot extra, so i chucked away the original copy i had because it was so badly edited haha, but yeah there is 2 copies and i had em both.

By the way i meant to say in my earlier post CIC and Paramount, not CIC and Universal…

I guess they (The studios) value their time all too well, because otherwise they’d be digging in to it alot more than they have.

I’m surprised none of the studios would want to investigate this because that lost footage would be worth some money to them.

Reminds me of the issue with the BBC throwing away a lot of old Doctor Who films prior to the 3rd Doc. If anyone finds any of them, they hit the goldmine because people are paying a lot of money… the BBC included, for those…

I’d love to see the scene where Able confronts Rick and Chris. I never knew about that. God, that would be wicked cool!

Ah Man I hope all the lost footage is on those tapes, and I hope someone finds it and posts the footage.
