Kip is such an ass in the Directors Cut.

I've only seen the regular version of the film until last week when I saw the two hour "Directors Cut"-version and the extra scenes really made it feel different to me. The thing I felt even from the first movie was that Kip's attitude against Memphis did irritate me a little bit with the conversation "You was always the one who was going after the easy money" and when speaking with Atley at the hospital while waiting for Toby.

But Kip was way more an ass in the Directors Cut, don't you think? Especially at these parts:
-In the morning at Kips house, Kip didn't show any gratefulness at all to Memphis for him saving Kips life last night.
-While stealing the Ferraris - Memphis tried again to mention that Kip should be more serious and grateful regarding this - but Kip just didn't care (maybe because he had the wrong version of the story and would later get the real version from Atley, but still he acts very disrespectful).
-While Kip and his crew shows up and offers help to Memphis he starts to yell about "are you trying to get all the money from this boost" much more then in the normal version.
-And in the beginning while racing against the Honda Civic - Kip is much more disrespectful against the guy and the girl in the Honda than in the short version.

Did you notice this, too?

I didn't see that cut but then again I can only imagine. Kip is a total douchebag and I cannot stand the Actor playing him cause he's always trying to act like a bad ass but I just gotta laugh. Giovanni is nothing but a Big DILDO!

I have ALWAYS wondered why Kip acted the way he did at the very beginning. Now I've never seen this director's cut, but the way Kip acts the rest of the way always seemed to make sense to me considering he thought Memphis abandoned them. Even then I thought he was so reckless in stealing that car and so douchey to that couple in the car, that it didn't really even make sense. This certainly clears that up.

I haven't watched the directors cut, but I think Kip being an ungrateful punk is one of the points of the story and shows his growth in the end. Kip clearly looked up to Memphis and wanted to be like him. When Kip was about to be crushed he seemed more afraid of Memphis' presence than his current predicament.
