Page 1 of Kill Bill, japanese cut more extreme?

Just flicking channels and flicked to BBC news where I think I heard someone quote Tarantino as saying that there is a much stronger japanese Kill Bill cut that he wont inflict on weak westerners. Anyone else see this and was that really the quote?

EDIT, Just found a video on the BBC news site of the interview he did at the premiere and he does say there is a stronger japanese version.

I smell a marketing sceme for when the DVD is out...

according to an interview in this months Empire magazine, the western cut will show the more extreme scenes in black and white(natural born killers anyone?) while the easterrn market will have it in full glorious colour!!
Heads up for the region 3 disc me-thinks!
also i hope this encourages somebody-like anchor bay-to release a good anamorphic uncut print of Shogun Assassin?

Who cares. If the films anything like the "let`s all jump on the Tarantino bandawagon he`s so cool" trollop he has done previously, I`m not interested. :o
