Plaion set with Theatrical / 50th Ann. / Final Preview / Turner Preview Cut 
|
23:27 / 27:38-27:43
A first shot of the people outside and then a first view of Billy inside, handling an axe. 5.1 sec
26:20 / 30:36-30:38 A short shot of the bullet-riddled Bell on the ground before Billy rides off. 1.9 sec
29:10 / 33:27-33:31 Before the boy arrives, we see Bill briefly and hear from the off: "Speak to Mr. Garrett." 3.2 sec
29:14-29:16 / 33:35-33:43 The theatrical cut shows Bill shortly afterwards a little earlier, but thus omits some of Pat's comments to the boy: "(I want you to) run all the way down to my house, tell Mrs. Garrett that I'm gonna be home for dinner. And then I want you to (stampede-like over to the courthouse)" Preview Cut 6.5 sec longer
29:37-29:38 / 34:05-34:27 While the theatrical version fades softly to the next scene with Pat...
...the preview cut briefly switches to Billy trotting around outside. To accompany this, "Better get me a posse started" can also be heard at the beginning.
Preview Cut 21.8 sec longer Partially re-ordered scene 31:29 or 35:18-36:16 / 36:18-40:34 After Alias has left, Pat is seen walking a few steps towards a house. Right after that, the Final Preview Cut shown here differs a bit from the Turner Preview Cut, as described in the corresponding report on the cuts.
Since we are following the final preview version here, you can see an appearance by Mrs. Garrett (Ida) that was missing from the theatrical cut, but is included in the 2005 Special Edition and the 50th Anniversary Edition. Inside the house, the couple, who are obviously somewhat estranged from each other, talk to each other. Ida criticizes the fact that Pat has hardly been there for her since his appointment as sheriff and threatens to leave him. He angrily tears down a curtain and says that they will discuss it when the matter with Billy is settled. Ida gives him another unencouraging comment before Pat leaves the house. Ida: "They say William Bonney has escaped." Pat: "He has. And he's in old Mexico, I hope. Where we should be if I had any sense. If not, I'II go after him. Got too much riding on it not to. I figure that's why they elected me. Anyways, I don't give a damn. I brought him in once, I can do it again. If I have to." Ida: "You might say that you are glad to see me. It's been over a week that you've been gone." Pat: "I'm sorry. I've gotta go down to the saloon. There's a drunk down there causing a lot of trouble. Goes by the name of Alamosa Bill. Said he rode with the Kid down in West Texas." Ida: "Will you be blessing this house with your presence for dinner?" Pat: "Oh, it looks like it's gonna be a long night." Ida: "It's been a long year." Pat: "Not now." Ida: "My people don't talk to me. They say you've been getting to be too much of a gringo since you've been sheriff, that you've made deals with Chisum. You don't touch me. You are dead inside. I wish you'd never put on that badge." Pat: "Not now!" Ida: "Sí, ahora! Or I won't be here when you get back!" Pat: "We'll deal with this...when it's over." Ida: "I hope he gets away." Pat: "Well, he won't. There's too much play in him." Ida: "And not enough in you."
Some shots of Billy riding around are also missing at the end, with a song by Bob Dylan playing again. However, these scenes also come a few minutes later in the theatrical version, after the conversation between Pat and Wallace. There are a few other minor differences: 35:18 / 39:21-39:28
Billy's first shot begins a little earlier in the preview cut. 7.4 sec
35:37 / 39:47-39:55 An additional soft transition to a close-up of Billy sawing at his ankle monitor. Preview Cut 7.7 sec longer
total 256.2 sec (= 4:16 min) Re-ordered scene 31:46 and 36:16-36:26 / 40:50-41:15 Further shots of Billy riding around and a shot of Pat smoking thoughtfully are concealed by a soft fade to the scene with Pat and Wallace. At least the shot of Billy is recycled in the theatrical cut. Preview Cut 13.9 sec longer
Additional material in the theatrical version 34:48-34:50 / 44:17 The theatrical cut has an additional shot of the other people at the table. + 1.5 sec
Theatrical version matches the Turner preview cut 35:15-35:18 / 44:42 Pat and Wallace take a few more steps after the line "Commendable notion, Sheriff" in the theatrical version, and there is a brief cut to Poe. + 3.2 sec Theatrical version corresponds to the Turner preview cut 36:26-36:36 / 44:42 The theatrical cut (as described above) recycled the shots of Billy riding around here, followed by two additional shots of Billy arriving at his gang's hideout, where Eno can be seen. This was also in the Turner Preview Cut. + 9.8 sec 37:33 / 45:40-45:44 Before Billy takes off his shirt, we see Luke with the prostitute again. It seems Luke is slowly realizing that he has to make room for Billy. 4.3 sec
Alternative / Additional material in the theatrical version 38:05-38:11 / 46:16-46:23 At the end of the scene, there is an alternative take of Luke. In the theatrical version, he just looks at the clothes again and puts them aside. In the preview cut, he lies down instead and covers himself. Preview version 1.5 sec longer
Additional material in the theatrical version 39:01-39:05 / 47:14 The theatrical version has an additional long shot before Alias is asked for his name. + 3.6 sec
42:27 / 50:35-50:37 One shot of the cockfight is a little longer. 1.8 sec
42:36 / 50:46-50:49 Another bloody close-up of the cockfight. 3 sec
Audio censorship 42:41 / 50:54 In the theatrical cut, the guy on the floor (Gate) mumbles "What the hell?", but in the preview it actually was "What the fuck?"
42:49 / 51:03-51:14 Pat attacks Gate a little more extensively and he stammers: "What did I do? What the hell are we doing? Garrett, I ain't seen the Kid. I heard he broke out but I ain't seen him." 11.7 sec
44:07 / 52:32-52:36 Here, too, Gate says: "I ain't even seen him since he gutshot Purdy Roberts." 3,5 sec
Additional material in the theatrical version 45:17-45:20 / 53:45 According to one shot of Pat, the following shot starts earlier and Sheriff Cullen says onscreen: "This town's got no hat-size" In the final preview, this can already be heard over the previous shot of Pat. Note: This was also in the Turner preview. + 3 sec Alternative / Additional material in the theatrical cut 46:35-46:39 / 55:00-55:04 At the end of the scene, there is a different shot. No time difference
47:29 / 55:54-55:56 The preview version shows the woman shooting and then a window shattering inside. 1.8 sec
47:56 / 56:24-56:26 Here, too, she creeps around in a short additional shot. 1.9 sec
49:14 / 57:44-57:49 Black mumbles on the floor (regarding the question of Billy's whereabouts): "Paris, France." 4.8 sec
From this point on, "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is played with lyrics during Sheriff Cullen's sentimental dying scene in the theatrical version, but only as an instrumental in the preview cut.
Theatrical Cut 50:28 / 59:02-59:05 A few chickens can be seen briefly between shots of Billy riding around. 3.1 sec
Alternative / Additional material in the theatrical cut 50:45-50:49 / 59:23-59:29 The hunt for the chickens begins with a series of different shots. Preview version 2.8 sec longer
51:14 / 59:55-59:57 An additional long shot. 2.5 sec
51:21 / 60:04-60:05 Another shot from this perspective. 1.6 sec 51:30 / 60:15-60:16 And again. 1.4 sec
53:05 / 61:51-61:53 There is no reaction shot between Billy falling off his horse and Billy firing again. 2.6 sec
53:12 / 62:00-62:07 In another wide shot, the remaining guys walk away and then Billy is seen again. 6.7 sec
Alternative / Additional material in the theatrical version 53:21-53:24 / 62:16-62:20 While the theatrical version shows the dead body on the floor again, the preview version offers a long shot (first Billy a little longer and then) again. Preview version 0.8 sec longer
53:35 / 62:31-62:35 Billy looks around again. 3.9 sec
Re-ordered scene 53:35 or 58:43-61:13 / 62:35-65:05 Right after that, Pat can be seen sitting at a fireplace in the preview cut, and Pope comes to him. This longer scene comes in the theatrical version unchanged about 5 minutes later. 53:35 / 65:05-67:13 The part when Pat then goes to John Chisum and unsuccessfully asks for more information about Billy's whereabouts is completely missing. It starts with a short rodeo interlude in which a rider falls. When Pat arrives, Chisum first complains about some unsolved thefts on his property. He sarcastically answers Poe's question about Billy with several possible locations and ironically asks if Poe might not want to stay for dinner. They part on fairly respectful terms, with Chisum just wanting to know if Pat is going to catch Billy. Man: "Garrett to see you, Mr. Chisum." Chisum: "All right. Somebody else try him." Man: "Yes sir." Chisum: "Mescaleros stole 40 head of horses last week." Pat: "Yeah, I heard they, uh, was off the reservation." Chisum: "And Bonney tried to steal a few head a couple of weeks ago." Pat: "Well, he says you owe him $500 back salary." Chisum: "He rode for me. I treated him just like any other man. Sheriff, tell me something. Why did you ride all the way out here?" Poe: "We thought maybe you heard something." Chisum: "Yeah. I'll tell you what I heard. Billy the Kid is in Toscosa. Billy the Kid is in Tombstone. Billy the Kid is in Mexico, Tularosa, Socorro, White Oaks. And Billy the Kid is at my table right at this moment, eating tacos and green chili peppers with my niece, just like old times. You staying for supper?" Pat: "No, thanks." Chisum: "Mr. Poe?" Poe: "I... Yes, I could eat." Chisum: "Fine. Bunkhouse is right behind the large barn. Men usually eat when the cook lets them. Interesting meeting you, Mr. Poe. Perhaps I'll see you again sometime. Glad to be of service, Garrett. But don't overuse it. Pat: "I appreciate the loan." Chisum: "You gonna get him?" 128 sec (= 2:08 min)
Theatrical cut corresponds to the Turner preview cut 53:35-53:54 / 67:13 Before Alias can be seen sharpening his knife, the carriage can still be seen and Paco saying goodbye. Billy is watching this. Included in all other versions. + 18.9 sec Alternative / Additional material in the theatrical version 54:30-54:32 / 67:50-68:18 In the preview version, the Mexican is approached by a henchman: "There's a lot of land between here and the border. And it's all Chisum's. Better keep those sheep moving, or they're gonna end up on his table." Mexican: "I have no quarrel with Chisum. It's an old war that is over. Let him alone and he will let you alone." Billy: "Don't you believe it, my friend."
In the theatrical cut, there is a different reaction shot of the audience.
Preview version 25.8 sec longer Alternative / Additional material in the theatrical version 57:07-57:09 and 61:13 / 70:53-70:58 In the theatrical version, Billy rides off a little longer. In return, the preview cut offers a smooth transition to the scene in which Pat and Poe arrive at the flophouse. This also begins a little earlier than in the theatrical version, four minutes later. Preview version 3.2 sec longer
Re-ordered scene / Additional material in the theatrical version 57:09-58:43 / 70:53 or 91:02-92:16 Pat waits by the water and shoots people. In the theatrical cut, this scene comes on only 20 minutes later, before Billy comes to the rescue during the rape. However, the opening nature shots are exclusive to the theatrical version. + 20 sec
Audio change 62:28 / 72:14 When Pat takes a few steps forward, the theatrical cut says, "Don't seem the best way to be tracking a man down." The preview versions instead say, "I tell you one thing, though. Best get the Kid soon."
63:49 / 73:35-73:37 Pat can be seen for a moment longer and he opens his mouth slightly. 1.8 sec Alternative / Additional material in the theatrical version 64:10-64:15 / 73:57-74:21 At the end of the scene, the preview version has the bar owner Lemuel elaborate further: "Hey, you know what she always said about the cowboys? She always wished they had a pair of loose boots. She wanted to strap them with a little tight pussy and give them a warm place to shit for two dollars. You know something? You can't beat that, can you?" Pat takes another sip. In the theatrical version, Lemuel just says, "You know something? You can't beat that, can you?" and, unlike in the preview cut, it's completely onscreen. Then you see a short part of the shot of the pensive Pat. Preview version 18.9 sec longer
Theatrical version corresponds to the Turner preview cut 64:15-64:18 / 74:21 Billy comes riding up a little later in the theatrical version. It was in the Turner preview. + 2.6 sec Theatrical version matches the Turner preview cut 67:12-67:38 / 77:15 The conversation at the dinner table is a little longer in the theatrical version: Alamosa gets up after his "We best get to it" and Mr. Horrell talks about his son who was killed. This was in the Turner preview. + 27 sec The theatrical cut of the movie also plays "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" during the dying scene of Alamosa in the 69th/79th minute, this time as an instrumental – the preview cut, on the other hand, plays a completely different piece.
Theatrical version 76:54-76:55 / 86:31-86:38 Holly's "I don't care about either one of youse" is heard/seen onscreen in the preview cut, and only here does he add, "I don't care what youse do. Because I ain't partial." The theatrical cut starts the following close-up of his gun belt a negligible moment earlier. Preview version 5.9 sec longer
