    'GoldenEye' Set For Uncut 'Ultimate Edition' DVD Release

    By Devin Zydel on 2006-05-10

    The upcoming ‘Ultimate James Bond 007’ DVD release of GoldenEye will be, for the first time, uncut, featuring previously missing scenes.

    As the new DVD cover for GoldenEye shows, the Bond film will be released in the UK uncut for the first time. The certificate has thus been raised from a ’12’ to a ’15’ (a certificate that is shared by only one other Bond film–Licence To Kill).

    As collected on the IMDb, GoldenEye has had an interesting history with the censors on both sides of the Atlantic. The headbutts featured during the battles between Xenia Onatopp and James Bond, as well as Bond and Alec Trevelyan had all been removed for the UK release. The US release (which features a PG-13 rating) reportedly trims down the shooting of Trevelyan during the pre-title sequence, the scene of the attack on Severnaya by Xenia, as well as her own death.

    No word yet on whether or not the Licence To Kill ‘Ultimate Edition’ DVD release will be uncut or if the eventual US DVD release of GoldenEye will be uncut as well.
