Has one of the cleverest tv edits ever!

We know that most of the time a lot of moments in tv edits are just so ridiculously comical, but this has a very clever difference that I actually enjoyed better in the edit than in the original film.

During the reveal towards the end in the mansion, everyone is calling Christy a bimbo over and over again. She gets fed up and throws a vase at Vera. In the original Vera quips back - "that was a very expensive vase, you bitch." That's pretty funny, but the tv edit is so, so much better and far more clever: "that was a very expensive vase, you bimbo."

How perfect was that, really?

That is up there with the "Christopher Columbo" edit in National Lampoon's Vacation.

Or Robocop's.

"Once I even called him....Airhead". But it was always with respect".

I remember Michael J. Fox's character in "The Hard Way" getting up one morning saying "slug in a ditch" instead of son of a bitch. That was pretty funny.

Sometimes, the edits are actually better.

my all time favorite is Tremors, when the megaworm hits the aquaduct, Kevin Bacon usually drops the "f-bomb", the edit became "fooled you!"
