Die Hard

I was watching Die Hard last night on Korean T.V., the first one, not one of the sequels. During the movie gunfire would become silent. The voices and background noise were the same, but there would be no sound for the gunfire.
Korean T.V. has a strange editing system, they won't edit sex scenes or foul language, but they will delete some violence. They can make Kill Bill vol.1 look tame. The Koreans do this with the cunning use of blur and cuts. What they can't cut, do to story consistency, they will blur. It is fun with a movie you have previously seen. Knowing the scenes that are graphic and wondering what they will edit next. Sometimes they don't cut or blur anything, I don't understand the logic behind it. They have about four channels that play the same American movies like clockwork. I have seen that piece of shit movie, Troy, on daily. Yes, this is the caliber of movies that are played in Korea. I actually really like the first Die Hard though.
