Lost

1.24 Exodus - Part 2

Comparison:

  • Censored Version (Blu-ray)
  • Uncensored Version (DVD)
Release: Jul 07, 2018 - Author: LOST - Translator: LOST - external link: IMDB - more from this series
Compared are the cut version Lost: The Complete Collection (BD) and the uncut version Lost: The Complete First Season (DVD).

On May 25, 2005 the finale of season 1 of "LOST" premiered, "Exodus, Part 2".
It's a two-hour episode which was cut into two parts for later broadcasts, foreign markets, as well as Netflix and Hulu, respectively: "Exodus (Part 2)" and "Exodus (Part 3)".
On September 6, 2005 "Lost: The Complete First Season" (DVD) was released. It contains the original version of the season finale with a running time of 84:58 min.
On June 16, 2009 "Lost: The Complete First Season" (BD) was released. This set features only the two cut parts. The same applies to "Lost: The Complete Collection" (BD) and "Lost: The Complete Collection" (DVD) which were released on August 24, 2010.
These cut parts have a running time of 43:09 and 43:24 min, respectively. So taken as a whole they are actually 95 s longer than the original version.
This comparison clarifies the differences between both versions for the first time. They not only include cuts, but also alternative material as well as additional scenes and a slightly less cropped image.
These differences may not be significant but my conclusion still is that both versions are necessary for a complete collection!
