Those of you claiming to have purchased a cut copy, does it say anywhere (within the contents of or on the disc - not the packaging) that it is a UK only copy? Because the cuts were made for countries like Germany and Italy, so if the disc is intended for use in all of Europe it may have been cut for that reason...
Well the set only has English audio tracks. So its a uk only pressing. The italian set is uncut as is the French. The German and Spanish sets are cut.
IMO, this release (like a lot of Disney releases) needs to be imported. The US version is/has
-region free
-audio commentary
-some more extras
-a dvd copy (I think)
-unedited (I think)
If it was uncut in the cinema, why cut it for the home release?
Here's the complete collection of AVENGERS releases in the US:

The 4-disc Collection (which includes DVD, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D & Digital Copy) is for the real serious fan. It also includes a digital album of the film soundtrack.
There's a 10-disc collection on the way (USA), but so far there's no indication of what it will include.
Just guessing, but if the German censor wanted it cut, Disney may not have wanted to do 2 seperate PAL region B/2 masters and therefore just released the cut version everywhere in Europe.
If I recall correctly that has happened before, I believe with an early dvd release of Predator- a cut release being issued in the UK because of the German censor.
There was a brief suggestion that the producers may have one to bring him back in a sequel, so they re-edited it to make that more plausible. But most likely so they could get it out in Germany under the same rating as the theatrical.
I have watched the film but I can't remember what is being discussed here. I have a vague inkling who but like it confirmed

I thank you, and I can't believe I forgot that scene - crazy.

Yes, but which version did the BBFC certify for video?
No mention from the BBFC really.
Don't quite understand it why they air brushed "that" bit out, but kept the Q word in !!!!!
