short description...
* put "Uncut" in the edition field where it belongs (and therefor changed the title from "John Rambo - Uncut" to "John Rambo")
* changed the original title back from "John Rambo" to "Rambo" as described below.
and the long one (with sources for all changes)...
as this seems to be a real fight here some explanations with title, original title and edition:
According to the contribution rules the original title of a German DVD would be the title of the movie in the country of origin, in this case the USA. Therefor the original title has to be "Rambo" (without the "John" in it). Source for this is
a) the contribution rules that state "The Original Title field will contain the original title for the main feature in the country of origin. i.e. A German DVD release for a film originally produced in the United States would have the German title in the Title field and the English title in the Original Title Field". As the film is titled "Rambo" in the USA (source for this see under b) ) and the contribution rules don't regulate that this information has to come solely from the credits or the cover there isn't really space for arguing here so I don't know why invelos approved the recent change from detlefs. Sorry, but the original title as it was before was correct so I put it in again.
b) Source for "Rambo" titled as "Rambo" in the USA can be found in:
English speaking:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462499/
German speaking:

http://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=4055428 (Infokasten ganz oben: OT: Rambo)
http://www.schnittberichte.com/news.php?ID=824
Finally even _if_ the title and original title had been the same (which it hasn't) the original title field had to be empty according to the contribution rules and not set to the same as the title field (but that is _not important_ now as both titles are NOT the same!
Coming to the German title: Since when do we include edition descriptions in the title field?! "Uncut" is clearly an edition description (or did you see the film at the movies showing "Uncut" behind the opening credits?!). And on the back cover the movie is credited as "John Rambo", no "Uncut" there, too (for those who are nitpicking). So I put the "Uncut" in the edition field where it belongs.
Sorry if some parts of the above text sound a bit embittered but I tried to clear out those changes in advance but all I found was lack of understanding on one person's side. I hope that understanding comes now that I explained it again in detail and showed the appropriate parts in the contribution rules. If not, be it and I think at least the other people see and vote right.
