Folks over there interested in "The Avengers" DVD are fuming over a lack of extras, plus an alternative death scene mistakenly included in the disk version of the film.
Disney UK spokesman Lydia Rodrigues told Home Video Choice the omission of the commentary was unfortunate. "That was a bit of a disappointment," she said. "Our DLT (Digital Linear Tape, required to replicate the disc) had to be delivered one month earlier than that required for the US pressing. So we missed out. We wanted it too."As an alternative, Disney is suggesting that British fans may want to choose the U.S. Blu-ray of the film. which is region free and should play on a British Blu-ray player. If you own one.
The UK release also features a different shot of a key death scene, reportedly the result of an error in production.
"Thanks to those of you who have let us know about an issue on the Marvel Avengers Assemble UK Blu-Ray and DVD release, which has a less graphic depiction of Agent Coulson's confrontation with Loki," said Disney in a statement. "Each country has its own compliance issues relative to depictions of violence. Unfortunately, another region's elements were inadvertently used to create the UK in-home release which minimally altered this scene in the film. We thank our fans for their vigilance in recognising this and apologise for the mix up."
