WARNING - avoid The Horror Channel version
It's a daytime cut print. I wrote and complained - no reply.
In what way is it cut?
Steve
The most noticeable one is the cut to Colonel Breem when he was transfixed by the spaceship. In the full version you see his horribly disfigured face - in the TV version all you see it his body falling into the pit.
That's the problem with edited versions - some viewers may only get to see them and not realise there's a far better version available.
Another example is Halloween - Season of the Witch. Now that was really butchered. When I exchanged messages on here many fans had no idea.
You should note cuts like that under "alternate versions" on the IMDb
(Yes, I know it should be "alternative versions", we've told them)
Steve
Good idea but not sure where the connecting link is from the original film. I can go direct to say Robocop alternate version by typing it direct in Google but cannot see where the link is on the actual film page.

What "connecting link"?
For Quatermass and the Pit (1967) as an example you just need to say that there is a TV version and then say what changes were made for the TV version. You shouldn't need to link it to anything else

Ok I just meant a link you can click to go to the alternative version. For example although there is another version of Robocop I can't see how you can access it via IMDB
shareThe IMDb just records one version for each title, the version as it was first released to the public. Any alternative versions, director's cuts or anything else should just be noted in the "alternate version" section for that one title

Just watched the scene, and yes the Colonel's face is disfigured.
If we can save humanity, we become the caretakers of the world
