The original theatrical release is actually more violent. The one blot on the director's cut, which I find far superior for lack of voice over (though it retains some patently clumsy and unnecessary voice over by Walsh during his and Ford's suspect-review), has actually been sanitized some: the nail-through-the-hand and Hannah's death scene (she originally and chillingly spent way more time kicking and screaming) have been shortened, and I think the abridgement is noticable, even if you've never seen the theatrical release. Maybe the three-disk set will correct this.
Why this happened, I'm not sure. I'm not sure what the "aweful editing" of the theatrical release could refer to, visually speaking.

Jack & jmbcd are steering you straight; the Director's cut is definitely the way to go. - Audiophilander 23:48:12 12/01/05 (0)
