FAQ entry is garbage


The FAQ entry "What are the differences between the European Cut and the US Cut of this movie?" claims that the long version is a special US TV cut. This is complete rubbish. The original UK cinema release of 1982 ran 136mins and was identical to this so-called "TV version".
Back then, UK cinemas were supplied with 2nd hand US release prints, so the original US cinema release was certainly 136mins too. And, since Eastwood has final cut on all his films, the worldwide release was surely also 136mins.

Iirc, the 119min version was Eastwood's later attempt to tighten up the film for international home video release after it had been criticised as slow and overlong in its original version.
