I liked this film in general, but I can't really consider it a 007 film, it was to dark.

I recently heard there's an "uncut" version available, that includes such messy money shots as Krest's head exploding, Dario's legs getting chewed up by the crusher machine, and Felix's leg getting bitten off by the shark. Probably includes other stuff as well, but those images are what stuck in my mind.

Anybody seen this version? Worth the effort of tracking down a copy? Have to admit I'm intrigued at the idea of Bond with a little splatterpunk thrown in -- if only as a novelty.
