It's been months since I've seen it and I don't own the DVD. Does someone want to check that? I'm sure that if the kill was "on screen" I would have had it in the count but since this is pending...

No! Vernet is denfently alive at the end of the scene (just watched it a few days ago). I would argue the 3 cops, though. The medics get there fast enough to save the preist, and as all three of the cops are shot in the torso, the shots shouldn't be called mortal wounds in the context of the film.

I watched this movie today and did the count. However, I'm guessing there's going to be an extended cut, since most of the regions except for R1 seem to have it. But I can't find any info as to when the extended cut will come out in R1.

Now I see what's so annoying about double-dipping. But why just Region 1, and why is it taking so long? The other regions have had it for a few months already.

Chapter 19: Betrayals Unveiled
1:49:05 Policeman shot in head by Silas - 1
(In slow motion, you can see a spurt of blood from his head. The next policeman he shot in the leg, and the one after that there was no blood, so I will assume he was shot in the protective vest area or in the lower body, which I wouldn't call a mortal hit. And I couldn't account for his body in later frames.)
1:50:03 Silas shot by police - 1
Chapter Total: 2

I'm going to go ahead and move this to the Queue. If an extended cut is released in R1 or if someone in the other regions redo the count before it gets to the end of the list then I will use that one instead.

Thanks Amie!!
