      Turns out it's right before the 85-minute mark on the Blu-ray.

        Try comparing this (someone on Blu-Ray forum said their old DVD looked exactly like this) with the BD.

          I checked my DVD and he just grabs the rat and puts it up to his mouth. It cuts away before he chomps on it.
          Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

              Looks like Eureka will be releasing some of the sequels on Blu-ray in the UK soon.

                That's because I just bought the 4th one. At least it was cheap.

                  Definitely up for picking these up, although my attempts to obtain a watchable copy of part 3 have thus far proved so cursed that if I buy it on blu-ray, I'll be half-expecting the disc to melt inside the player (don't ask).

                  Is part 4 aka 'Vampire vs Vampire' (the one with a Western-style vampire), or an entirely different film? I get confused.

                    It's a different one, I think it might be related to New Mr Vampire. Or maybe not, it's all bloody confusing.

                        SYNOPSIS
                        After the huge success of Mr Vampire, Hong Kong audiences were desperate for more vampire-hopping action and the films’ producers were more than happy to oblige. A steady stream of jiangshi content was produced over the following years, and presented here are 4 of these classic titles from stunning new restorations.

                        In Mr Vampire II (aka Vampire Family) an archaeologist and his students unwittingly set free a family of hopping vampires who wreak havoc in 1980s Hong Kong. Mr Vampire III returns to a period setting and sees Lam Ching-ying’s Taoist priest battle an evil witch (a brilliant performance by veteran actress Pauline Yuk-Wan Wong). Mr Vampire IV (aka Uncle Vampire) two feuding neighbours (a Taoist priest and a Buddhist monk) must join forces when their village is overrun by vampires. And finally in Vampire vs Vampire, Lam Ching-ying’s Taoist priest finds his jiangshi-fighting knowledge is of little help when he goes up against a European vampire.

                        Featuring a bevy of Hong Kong legends including Lam Ching-ying, Yuen Biao, Wu Ma, Richard Ng, Yuen Wah, and many more – this collection brings together four beloved films in definitive presentations in a very special edition. Filled with screams and laughs, Eureka Classics is proud to present Hopping Mad: The Mr Vampire Sequels.

                          Mr. Vampire 1-4 are streaming on the Criterion Channel and the first three open with the Criterion/Janus logos (don't know why part 4 wouldn't have been included in the package with the other 3.) Hopefully when Criterion gets around to releasing these on disc they can included the Warner Brothers owned Mr. Vampire 1992
