Racist Robert Duvall line cut from DVD release?
I saw The Detective on cable a few years ago. I distinctly remember a scene in which Robert Duvall's character says the N-word, I think in reference to the new African-American detective who joins the unit. It's just a minor moment, which shows how bigoted and nasty the Duvall character is meant to be, even to his fellow detectives.
So, I just finished watching the DVD version of this film and there was no such moment! Now, it could be that I had misremembered this but honestly, I'm 99% sure my memory's correct. I wonder, is it possible 20th Century Fox censored the film for its DVD release, or perhaps Duvall himself requested that it be taken out?
If anyone else can back me up on this or has a theory to add, please reply.
