Is House of Flying Daggers THAT terrible?

The Sony BD is digitally censored to erase blood. This destroys the key moment in the film. It's truly sad that Sony did this all for a stupid PG-13 rating.
 
That 2.35:1 version was not HD. It was an upconvert, complete with edge enhancement and massive amounts of low pass filtering and grain reduction.


Out best bet with this great film is that we are blessed with a release in Japan or Korea that has English subtitles. The film was released uncut in Asia and that is really the way the film should be seen. Kung Fu Hustle is now available in Asia, uncut, so hopefully that is a sign of things to come.
 
But won't play in U.S. players. Bummer. Were it not region locked I'd be all over it.
