Die Hard 4.0 - Unrated Edition! SPOILER ALERT

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2007)

Well guys, I saw the unrated cut of Live Free or Die Hard and here's what I think.
Okay,the plus points: The Ultimate Action Edition as it's called here is certainly more brutal than the PG13 version. You see more blood spurts, John McClane cursing a bit more (especially in the elevator shaft where he calls Mai an "effing bitch" just as she blows up in the SUV!)There's also the tunnel scene where JM is driving towards the copter and makes the comment: "Bonnet's on fire, that can't be good. This is a bad effing idea!" He does say MF earlier on and a few more times during the film. There are extended scenes too, namely the evacuation of employees in the anthrax scare and Olyphant's dialogue where the Wall Street brokers are panicking. The action scenes, notably McClane taking out Gabriel's henchmen are slightly more extended, but worth it.
The bad: There's dialogue tweaking here & there, which I think, takes away the fun of the edited version. For instance, when Matt Farrell runs up to McClane and says: "You just killed a helicopter with a car!" McClane's response is simply: "People get killed by hundreds of thousands of cars every year...only this is four more", then they chuckle. Personally, I prefer the "Ran out of bullets" line a lot more. Because we were so used to the PG13 version, you do feel at times that perhaps the addition of swearing just crops up for the sake of it, although there is a nice touch where Deputy Director Bowman loses it with the 2 NSA agents.
I haven't had a chance to go thorough the special feayures of the DVD, but the gag reel is hilarious, where the cast are really having a laugh.
One more thing and I'm sure you're all dying to know: Does McClane say yippee-ky-yay **********er? He sure does and believe me, justice is finally served!
