Not a movie but a season of a TV series. Power Rangers Time Force was reedited in response to 9/11 to lessen the shots of exploding buildings and the after effects of the exploding buildings. Complete with an episode eventually being temporarily banned from airing, even tho it was reedited too, because of how it depicted the building destruction in the episode.

So when Disney bought Power Rangers they apparently threw out the original masters of the unreedited versions. Leaving only poor VHS quality backups of the originals that weren't suitable for a home release. So when Saban bought back Power Rangers he was left unable to release the originals due to Disney throwing them out.

 Wouldn't most, if not all the exploding buildings be in the original Japanese footage though?
Most of it yes, however there's also footage that was reedited from the effects of the buildings getting destroyed. Like debris falling around people that are running away from the destruction that was reedited too. It'd take a restoration effort to try to return the footage to the original and it's a 40 episode season. Considering spending money to make Time Force in the first place caused Saban to loose enough money that he had to sell the entirety of Power Rangers I don't think he's that eager to spend even more money on a restoration effort of it.
