Quote from: KiramidHead on Dec 11, 2023, 02:56:29 PMI do know there's a ridiculous number of Manhunter cuts, one of which only exists because Anchor Bay f**ked up the DVD special edition.
Yep. At least four different cuts of that that I'm aware of - the original theatrical, the director's cut (with a bunch of additions seemingly sourced from VHS!), the Anchor Bay DVD version and a fourth one that I've only ever seen talked about which includes an extra scene with Dr. Chilton.
Second place goes to
The Last of the Mohicans with three cuts - theatrical, director's cut and the recent definitive edition, which mostly reverts the changes from the previous director's cut.
Thief,
Heat,
Ali,
Miami Vice and now
Blackhat all have an alternative cut apiece with varying degrees of alteration.
To say he's a perfectionist would apparently be an understatement
EDIT: Actually I just remembered
Blackhat also technically has three cuts because the US theatrical release included some dialogue that was edited out of the international version. Ffs
