I had a feeling 'something' was cut. The two sequences that jump out at me & the audience were.......
Spoiler:
Those were the only questionable editing sequences I saw in theaters & had myself & the audience confused as to what the hell happened.
Other gruesome bits like the hook scenes may have suffered some cuts as well....but not nearly as bad as the above two sequences.
So does anyone know for sure,what is up with those two scenes? Were they more explicit in the Canadian release?

I love the original one and haven't seen the remake. I'd love to pick up the 2-disc set too once the price is right. Fans of the original usually bash this release but I still want to see it.

Up next are seven deleted scenes including an alternate opening and closing. This alternate opening and closing sequence was going to be used over the police footage, which was eventually used in the film. This ending also sets up a sequel so it’s rather good they went with what was in the final film. Also included is an alternate death scene, which was apparently cut so that the film wouldn’t get an NC-17 rating. The scene features a lot more gore but I agree with the director that it took away from the action and the suspense he was trying to build. We also get an alternate, gorier version of the “secret” that happens in the van at the start of the film

I just had a feeling something was off in the nerds death scene & it appears I was right.

i wish they'd have a special commentary with some hardcore fans of the original, who could knock this stinker down to size..
