This is my favourite film of all time, and I'm dying to see the uncut version. I'd love to see the full scenes with Mick and Anita, but that's just the start of it...apparently dozens of scenes were chopped. Anyone have any clues?
sharei'd be after the same uncut version . . . what do you know about an alternate cut and where did you get the info from?
I too am a huge fan, and the final word on the subject of a longer cut is that there isn't one. Reportedly the Warner Blu-Ray is the complete version.
shareThere was stuff cut after the initial US test screening that went over really badly. I think I remember them saying the original cut was more violent.
shareThe blu-ray is 105 minutes long and is the closest thing you'll get to the full length version.

According to co-director Cammell in a 90's documentary 'The Real Donald Cammell' the film originally featured roughly half an hour more of the otherwise short opening (london gangster) section of the film. The idea being that the film would show how the worlds of Chas,(Fox) and Turner,(Jagger) were linked by the idea of performance. It is alleged by Cammell that these scenes were cut at the 'suggestion' of infamous London Gangsters the Kray brothers, Ronnie and Reggie, for whom the scenes were too true to their London underworld 'Firm' to be shown. This footage is also referred to, as are many other lost, cut or 'alternative' scenes, in the numerous books either on or concerning the film.
