: Hi, all...my DVD arrived today (can't watch it for a couple weeks)...
: and it's interesting to note that, even though the hard packaging says "Director's Expanded Edition" a sticker has been affixed to the outside celophane that says "Director's REVISION". I wonder if they'd received complaints that it wasn't really "expanded" and decided to stick these stickers on...
: Just a wonderment.

Hi, Myrrh,
No, I got my copy a week ago and a bit; no "sticker" on it; just the top of the cover exclaiming: "director's expanded edition" which, at three minutes longer is a bit of a stretch....
I must admit, the slim one page insert did not sit well with me either...(and a little paper about the disclaimer about the "jumps" in the film....there was an insert: " This movie has been re-edited by Michael Mann. It is his difinitive version of the film. In order to create it, certain shots had to be lenghthened, resulting in a momentary jump in the image."
Hey, what is with this guy???? Got nothing to say??? doesn't he have video/audio/equipment to do away with "jumps"...???
