Lemon Popsicle - Eskimo Limon
Comparsion between the cut British DVD and the uncut German DVD release.
British DVD: 92:01 min with outro
German DVD: 92:17 min with outro
6 cuts, 2x additional material in the German DVD.
(short differences through master errors below 0,5 sec. are not mentioned respectively just announced if a whole take is missing)
In Great Britain a box set was released with part 1-7 of the famous 'Eskimo Limon' movies. Sadly all movies except the 3rd part are cut. At least the cuts are not that heavy as in the old German video releases. Probably these cuts are only master errors.
After all the box is definately not a 'must have' because of a very poor quality and zoomed full-screen. Just a few surprises in the 1st and 4th part can enjoy hardcore collectors.
The actual cuts are in the 1st part unspectacular and no obvious censorship. However, the GB version offers short takes on two parts in the movie which are different from the uncut German version. Nothing big but interessting.

0,4 sec
10:34 / 10:18
Only the GB DVD shows in a few frames how JoAnn Woodward receives the Oscar (just before Benny tries to flirt with girls in the audience).
The curious thing is that this take is completely missing in the German version.
Remark:
The comments of the anchorman during the movie are neither dubbed nor subtitled in the German DVD while the GB version offers translated comments (there you can hear her name as well).

Alternative material
58:45-58:46 / 58:53-58:59
Little curiosity: The GB version shows an additional close-up on Benny while the German version offers a frontal shot of the three boys.
Therefore a dialogue is missing respectively is different. The GB version shows Momo who tells that Micky had crabs and got rid of them by washing in a river. In the German synchronisation Johnny doesn't want to believe that he really got rid of the crabs ("Maybe they are comming back?"). Momo tells him he would be very astonished. Benny asks him why he knows about the death of the crabs, he tells them that the pouder hit the crabs heavily and they won't survive it.
German DVD: 5,2 sec. longerr

Remark: Another variance in the synchronisation: The age, which is stated to the doctor by Benny and Nilly, differs. In the German version both are 15, the GB version says they are 17.
76:57 / 77:10-77:11
Master error at the same point: Nilli can be seen longer when she enters the gynocologists room.
0,5 sec
77:57 / 78:11
Nilly earlier.
0,6 sec
Credits
90:43-91:14 / 90:57-91:28
The GB version offers another outro about 30 seconds earlier. The German DVD just enters with the soundtrack list which starts earlier in the GB version but runs slightly slower. Therefore there is no time difference.

Alien: Resurrection
Theatrical Version - Extended Version
In occasion of the over a wide area marketed and reshown Director's Cut of part 1 the fourth and, to date, final part of the Alien saga was published over the course of the rerelease on DVD in an extended version in 2003. Contrary to the other three films, the long version of the fourth installment contains the slightest changes.

Knocked Up
R-Rated - Unrated
Apart from horror movies, comedies with sex- and erotic-related material do belong to the films that are released as unrated versions after they were shown in cinemas. “Knocked Up” was also released that way. The question is, whether the DVD does contain a version that is less censored in comparison to the rated theatrical cut.

Apocalypse Now
Theatrical Version - Redux
Almost 22 years after the first screening, legendary director Francis Ford Coppola was at last able to bring his film "Apocalypse Now" into movie theaters worldwide in his preferred version in 2001.
Over 45 minutes of new scenes as well as countless rearrangements of the old footage let this master pice shine bright and, surprisingly, though much longer, appear much shorter, more fluid and logical.
