Regarding Once Upon A Time in America, would all Region 3 including the ones sold in Korea, HK (and others) be the same censored release? i got the digipak release last year. im wondering if i have the censored copy or not.
Okay, according to Warner, DVD censorship is never done for the benefit of the Philippines since we're quite liberal locally compared to our neighbors. Case in point is
Eyes Wide Shut where we got the uncut version which showed T&A. In comparison, Region 1 was digitally manipulated cover the nudity.
With
Once Upon A Time in America, all the major territories (including Singapore and Korea) may have objected to the total nudity of the corpse which showed the pubic area in a medium shot. In any case, if only 1 master was produced, then it's likely that all Asian versions were censored. They're still waiting for a more concrete assessment from their Singaporean headquarters.
