That should leave 2 versions, one to count as the official film and one to be forgotten as yet another example of studio crap.<BR/><BR/>But when there are 3 or 4 or 5 versions of a single film. When studios add scenes for the DVD release (this drives me nuts too) eventually you get to a place where there is no definable film. <BR/><BR/>It's very frustrating.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178975866741187681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-91321698740556234522008-07-10T16:18:00.000-04:002008-07-10T16:18:00.000-04:00Thanks for the heads-up on that blood piece at Sca...Thanks for the heads-up on that blood piece at Scanners, Nat.

As such directors of these films have the right to alter them later and make them better than before in order to succeed in bringing their true vision to the screen. Look at the case of Scott's own Kingdom of Heaven - what was originally a mediocre effort due to studio butchering turned into arguably one of the best films in Scott's filmography when he released his 45 minute longer directors cut. and for the record plenty of novels have been revised and in some cases altogether re-written.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-39307020798177127982008-07-10T15:48:00.000-04:002008-07-10T15:48:00.000-04:00This very annoyance (which I share) has stopped me...This very annoyance (which I share) has stopped me buying the last DVD of the movie.
