Comparison
- Theatrical Cut
- Extended Version
|
Compared are the Special Edition (=Theatrical Cut) and the Extended Special Edition. Thanks to Seamless Branching, the chapters are added and replaced in the Extended Version.
The Extended Versions runs approx. 62 sec longer. The Extended Version includes a further plot scene. As a result some minor plotholes disappear.
1:37:55-1:39:10 (Time index Extended SE)
Before the FBI disconnects the electricity of the block of buildings, it's tried to disconnect the electricity of the Nakatomi Tower first in the Extended Version. Gruber's already been waiting for that to unlock the 7th lock of the safe, but it doesn't work. That's why Gruber orders Theo to activate the emergency power supply. McClane sits in a bathroom and notices that, too. He asks Al for it who replies that the FBI's in charge now and that's the FBI's standard procedure for terrorist attacks. The last shot of the Extended Version, which is a black and white shot, shows how the light goes on again plus an FBI agent in the foreground. Then the scene where the FBI wants to switch off the energy of the block of buildungs which is also included in the Theatrical Cut.
(75 sec)
The Theatrical Cut just shows the scene with McClane in the bath room und the conversation with Al. In return the shot of McClane is a bit longer. The light goes off and then on again (pictures 3 and 4). In the Theatrical Cut this scene follows directly after the disconnection of the electricity of the block of buildings.
(13 sec)
Duration: Extended SE 62 sec longer than the Theatrical Cut.

Menace II Society
R-Rated - Unrated Criterion LaserDisc
The uncut version of the ghetto drama "Menace II Society" represents a rarity: prior to its release some minor cuts regarding violence were made in order to get the R-Rating. This slighty toned down version was later released in all the different parts of the world, and so in the German speaking parts, too. In 1994 a LaserDisc with the unrated version was released by Criterion in the states. Unforunately it remains till this day the only release of the unrated version and one can only hope that soon a label goes about this version and reissues the movie.

I am Legend
Theatrical Cut - Alternative Theatrical Cut
The adaptation of the novel "I am Legend" starring Will Smith was successful at the box office. This is why Warner is planning a sequel which is not possible with the ending of the theatrical cut though. However, this version did contain an ending that was changed later. This very ending along with some more scenes was now reactivated for the DVD release so that a sequel is possible with this alternate version. For the customer's comfort, the DVD contains both versions.

Coyote Ugly
Theatrical Version - Unrated Extended Cut
The so-called "Unrated Extended Cut" of "Coyote Ugly" contains about six minutes of additional footage which was removed prior to itīs theatrical run in the USA. This happened due to fear the movie would not get the profitable PG-13-rating, mainly because of the dance sequences and other erotically inclined scenes, being of different significance especially in the USA than in other countries.
