# "Andy Griffith Show, The" (1960)
- During their original airings, episodes ran exactly 24 1/2 minutes (not
  counting commercial time). Most syndication prints now run 22 minutes to
  allow for additional commercial time. Some of the missing material (which
  includes the episode epilogues and other miscellaneous scenes) has been
  restored to VHS and DVD releases of various "Andy Griffith" episodes.

2053,2055c2060,2066
- The first few episodes aired on TV featured the opening credits as they
  appear on the DVD Boxed-Set. However, the network feared the audience
  wouldn't understand the show's rather complex cast of characters, so asked
  that a different opening, complete with voiceover, be used for episodes
  airing later. The Region 1 DVDs are missing the voice-over introductions that
  were present when the later episodes aired on television, showing only the
  original credits, as intended by the producers.
2720a2732,2739
- In the newly released DVD of the first season, several scenes cut from
  syndication were restored into the episodes, making them complete. Among the
  cut scenes: In "A Date With Jet Screamer", there's a scene of the family at
  dinner. They unanimously decide on pizza so just as Jane programs it into the
  computer, the pizza goes flying around the room. Elroy manages to take a bite
  out of it before it lands on the table. In "Elroy's TV Show", there's a scene
  of Judy hoping to get a guest appearence on Elroy's show so she becomes
  overly nice to him, but he still denies her.
4777a4797,4799
- When the episode "Pray Anything" first aired on Fox, Gil comes out at the
  basketball game dressed as Swish, who is wearing fishnet stockings. In
  syndicated reruns the stockings have been removed.
5907a5930,5933
- The syndicated rerun package does not include episode 2.21, "The
  Sharpshooter," as it is the pilot for the series
  _"Rifleman, The" (1958)_ (qv), and was reworked to be its premiere episode.
  Consequently, that rerun package is where it is to be seen.

# Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The (1988)
- Recent prints, including home video reissues, have included a new card during
  the end. It has been inserted between the end title and "The End" and reads:
  "This is a new motion picture. This motion picture is not to be confused with
  the Ufa/Trannsit/Murnau 1942/43 motion picture bearing the title 'The
  Adventures of Baron Munchausen.'" This refers to the German production that
  was made during the Nazi era and underewent restoration by the Murnau
  Foundation during the 1990's.

8999a9035,9039
- The DVD version of the film adds nearly 12 minutes of previously deleted
  material. Most prominently, a 4-minute scene with Cantinflas out-riding a
  group of Sioux on horseback after falling off the train. In previous
  versions, the scene ended after his falling off. Also, the full intermission,
  entr'acte, and exit music segments are re-instated.

- In 2003, Turner Classic Movies presented on television a 61-minute version
  with a piano score written by Arthur Barrow.

- The brief orgy scene in the brothel killing sequence was edited out of the
  version screened in Singapore, despite the movie's R(A) rating (for 21 year
  olds and older).

  the Third Kind" was plagued with schedule and budget problems. Speilberg
  originally wanted to release the film in the summer of 1978, however,
  Columbia Pictures (who were undergoing financial troubles at the time)
  insisted that Spielberg have it ready by November 1977. Therefore many scenes
  Spielberg had scripted couldn't be filmed as he originally intended due to
  time constraints. After the movie's huge success, Spielberg asked Columbia to
  allow him to recut the picture and to shoot additional sequences; the studio
  agreed at the condition that he included new scenes showing the inside of the
  alien mothership (to entice audiences into the theater again). Spielberg was
  given a budget of $1.5 million and seven weeks to shoot the new sequences
  (some of which were shot while he was also directing 1941 (1979)). He had to
  use a different director of photography (Allen Daviau) because Vilmos
  Zsigmond was unavailable, and he was able to convince most of the original
  cast to re-appear, with the exception of director Francois Truffaut (who
  played French scientist Lacombe) who was on location shooting a film at the
  time. For years, Steven Spielberg considered the Special Edition the only
  "real" version of the movie and dismissed the original as an inferior
  "work-in-progress". According to Columbia, all prints of the original version
  have been destroyed (apart from a few copies kept in the studio's vault for
  historical value only). Only the Special Edition had been the version
  available on video until Criterion became the first company to release
  different versions of the film in any video format. The following are the
  differences between the Original Version (O.V.) and the Special Edition
  (S.E.):
16084,16086c16122,16124
 - The S.E. adds a new scene, after Roy see's the UFO flyby on the road:
 - a UFO stops in front of a McDonald's sign and flashes its light on it,
 - as if to read it.
16088,16095c16126,16134
 - around the moon, but we're years ahead of them on the highway". This scene
 - is missing from the S.E.
 - The S.E. adds a scene in which U.S. soldiers and scientists discover the
   ship, the "Cotopaxi" in the Gobi desert. This scene is inserted right after
   the one where Roy and his wife watch the sky in the spot where he first saw
   the UFOs.
 - A scene where Roy and his wife argue right after he's fired from his job.
   Roy lies on his bed and looks at a pillow (whose shape resembles the Devil's
   Tower mountain) The pillow segment was removed in the S.E.
16097,16104c16136,16143
 - the O.V. In the O.V. the scene where Roy is fired is followed by the scene
 - where he goes back to the road with his camera, which is followed by The
 - India sequence and then Lacombe's auditorium speech. In the S.E. these
 - scenes are flip-flopped. The scene where Roy is fired is followed by the
 - India sequence, which is followed by Lacombe's auditorium speech, followed
 - by the scene where Roy goes back to the road with his camera.
 - In the S.E. Lacombe's auditorium speech is slighty longer containing the
   applause of the dignitaries.
16106,16113c16145,16153
 - argue about the best way to scare the population away from the alien's
 - landing area. In the original Jillian is interviewed by reporters about her
 - son's kidnapping, and Roy and Ronnie arrive at the base to attend a press
 - conference about UFOs. Roy draws the shape of the Devil's Tower on a
 - newspaper over the photo of Jillian and the headline "Cosmic Kidnapping".
 - In the O.V. during the dinner/mashed potato sequence. The scene begins with
   the kids arguing at the table. As soon as Roy walks into the room they
   immediately stop shouting. In the S.E. this portion is deleted and the scene
   begins with Ronnie handing Toby the mashed potatos.
16115,16118c16155,16160
 - bathroom and goes under the running shower. Ronnie breaks the door open and
 - yells at him, holding him responsible for their family falling apart.
 - The scene where Roy tosses bricks and bushes into his house so he can make
 - the Devil's tower replica was almost entirely removed in the S.E. version.
   The S.E. only includes the portion of the scene where Ronnie actually leaves
   with the kids.
16120,16124c16162,16163
 - him getting back inside the house from a window. This scene is missing from
   the S.E.
16126,16129c16165,16168
 - station while the population is being evacuated by the army is shorter in
 - the S.E.: in the original we saw Roy trying to convince a soldier (played by
 - Carl Weathers) to let him go look for his "sister": the guard says he has
 - orders to shoot anyone that trespasses.
16131c16170
 - mothership, with light/sound special effects by Douglas Trumbull.
16133,16138c16172,16177
 - "overture" music originally commissioned for the credits, we hear an
 - arrangement of "When You Wish Upon A Star".
- A final version of "Close Encounters" was released to video in 1998 (and then
  on DVD in 2001) as "The Collector's Edition". It is basically Speilberg's
  final 137-minute re-edit of the original version plus five sequences from the
  1980 "Special Edition". It contains.....
18425,18430d18463
18633a18667,18669
- A heavily censored version has been screened on Australian cable television
  in which all sexually explicit depictions are masked by the use of
  split-screen effects.

  (William Sadler) or Maj. Grant (John Amos)] Falcon was also the codename of
  the flight which Maj Grant was on. It's mentioned earlier in the film.
19793a19831,19835
- In version 1.4 for the PC, an alteration was present. In Episode 1, Map 4:
  "Command Control", a structure originally lowers to the ground to create a
  pattern of a swastika on the floor. This was done as a reference to
  "Wolfenstein 3D" however, this upset many players so it was changed to a
  similar structure in this version.

# Ghosts of the Abyss (2003)
- The German version was shortened down to 43 minutes running time so that it
  will fit into the standard screening schedule of the local IMAX theatres,
  i.e. an IMAX film must not run longer than 45 minutes so that it is possible
  to start a screening every hour.

25936a25973,25979
- Much of the debate scene on the floor of the Diet was deleted from the
  American version of the film.
- The bon voyage scene in the American version was heavilly edited with the
  scene of Serizawa silently watching as Emiko and the rest of the party is
  deleted.
- The scene where Emiko is in Ogata's apartment as he is exiting his shower was
  deleted from the American version.

- There is a print or prints that excludes the overhead shot of the Bride and
  other dead wedding attendants being examined by police right after "Chapter
  3: The Blood-Spattered Bride" appears. It also excludes the two shots that
  usually follow and cuts directly to Earl McGraw pulling up in front of the
  chapel. Thus, Charlie Feathers' contribution to the soundtrack is not heard
  in this print.
35259a35297,35305
# Little Nicky (2000)
- In the FOX 2004 presentation, many things were edited. All references to
  Popeye's are cut, so "Popeye's Chicken is fucking awesome" becomes "Chicken
  is kickin'". "Hitler's ass" becomes "Hitler's rear", "The sh*t has hit the
  fan." becomes "It has hit the fan". A deleted scene of the peeper becoming
  bait and being eaten by a fish was also added. The asking of the gatekeeper
  whether there were boobs on his head was cut out, and the Coke/Pepsi
  transformation was partially cut out.

  no longer have their original musical score, save for Wayne's singing
  (whether from copyright problems or sound deterioration is unclear), and were
  replaced sometime in the 1980s with a score done on a synthesizer.
