Ah, Aaron brings up a point here which I'd not considered...is this
censorship issue only referring only to the film's upcoming theatrical
presentation or has the DVD been subject to the same cuts? Could there be
any reason why the DVD would need to be cut in Japan, when obviously far
more extreme stuff is out there on shelves?
