I recently bought the DVD of this film , only to find that it has been edited.
The DVD running time is 104 mins, whereas the VHS version i have runs for 117 mins ! Thats 15 mins that has been cut of this great film !

Has anyone else noticed this ?

wtf *beep* looks fine to me. I never noticed any deleted parts, and I watched the VHS before the DVD.

Both my DVD and VHS say 104 minutes.

@ shub6219 and others, no need to shout or to call names. My DVD version (Europe) has 118 minutes.

I did notice that the dvd version was edited. Just like with Witness to the Mob. I remember in the beginning of the vhs version when they're playing cards fat angie says "the jews whacked out Jesus." then some guy says "Jesus was a Jew" and fat angie was like "i thought he was italian" that didn't come out on the dvd version. I rented this from blockbuster back in 01 and had a copy of it, but lost it. Gotta get my hands on the vhs version! And to those mamalukes who were talkin' smack, "all you's do is cry like baby's all day!"

It says 116 minutes on good ol' IMDb.

My DVD runs 117 minutes. So it looks like all the bases are covered here.

Someone says the VHS is 117 and the DVD is 104. Someone says they're both 104. And my DVD is 117.

My dvd has that part

reply

running time depends on the region of the DVD

reply

In my dvd that whole Jesus conversation took place. Maybe something is wrong with yours.

I have since bought the Region 2 Dutch version. That runs for the full 117 mins like the VHS version. So i think its just the region 1 version that has been edited to 104 mins.

reply

My DVD runs 229 minutes, half on one disc, other on another.

reply

Damn that sux,I got the edited one.

reply

Nevermind on the box it says 104 minutes but it's the full version.

European TV's use a lower frame rate so when they convert from NTSC (US) to PAL (Europe and most of Asia) the movie comes out longer. There's no actual difference in the content.
