    This is nothing new, as I recall the scene was edited out of UK theatrical & TV showings for the same reasons. Not sure about the early home video releases.

     

    The PAL LaserDisc Special Edition has an alternate edit of the scene which features more of the actors reacting to the description of what is happening on screen, rather than explicitly showing the animal in the fluid.

  2. "Finally, we’ve learned from industry sources that the 4K Ultra HD release of James Cameron’s The Abyss (1989) in the UK has been cancelled, and for exactly the reason you think—the scene in which the rat is made to breath underwater. UK censors asked for the scene to be cut, Disney apparently wanted to comply, but Lightstorm vetoed it. So if you want this title in 4K and you live in the UK, you’ll have to import it from elsewhere."

  3. I'd love a new recording of Volunteers seeing that the licensor refuses to work with Intrada to get this one out. If I recall, Roger said a while back that the tapes are deteriorating so we may lose this one completely. 

     

    In any case I'm very excited about this new set of recordings, especially as it carries the blessing of Sara Horner and others that care about preserving and honouring Horner's legacy.
