They do, but I also wanted the Japanese cut (extended and House of Blue Leaves not in b&w). I bought it off Ebay and it's only the second time I got caught out; turned out to be a copy. To Ebay's credit, looking at the guys history, this was his first dodgy title and his feedback rating dropped so far and so fast he was kicked off. I watched it, but didn't keep it, so I have at least seen the full version and that's the one I want now!

I don't really care about an extended or combined version, all I want is the House of Blue Leaves scene in color damnit! Is that too much to ask?

....Well, I don't have the DVD but an old teacher of mine cut the scene from his DVD for me :S I have it on a hard drive somewhere.... its very impressive...

I have unfortunately never seen the color version of the tea house fight. I understand Disney merely owns the right to they film they distributed theatrically and since that was the US version with the b&w bit that is the only way they can put it out on DVD and Blu-ray. All other rights remain with the Weinsteins. And since they sold the company (or whatever went on there) the rights are even more unclear. I wish I could see the other version, just not sure when it can happen and if at that point I still care enough. The b&w scene works quite alright as it is. Of course, there is also the stuff with the trunk scene...

The Japanese version is fully coloured. R2 though.

Yeah I know, but I'm not a big fan of buying multi-region. And I don't have any rational argument why, I just don't like it.

I like the switch to B&W and back and I can't really imagine it improving by being all color.

I don't see this DVD in the invelos database - I even checked region 2. Does it have a different title? How did everyone find out about this movie? This is the one based on the play, correct?

It's also longer with more cute gags (eyeball!) and in colour it is astonishingly gory. Some feel too much for Western viewers, which is what I meant before when I said it's heavily influenced by anime and manga, more than samurai movies.

"House of the Blue Leaves" is a chapter in Kill Bill Vol. 1.

The japanese cut also explains how Sofie lost her second arm.

I didn't even know there was a House of Blue Leaves in colour. I must find this!

That was what I meant with "trunk scene". Seems I was too careful and this film cannot really be  spoilered...?
