AI was reedited? I'd love to see the first cut, then - just as I'd love to see the first cut of 13th Warrior, although I absolutely love the final versions of both of these films.
Other famous reedits? Hmm, "Battlefield Earth" was cut for the US release, I hear. I don't know what was cut, as I only saw the European version (and I have to say I saw many much, much worse movies in just the recent year - "Van Hell*hit", "Undercrap", "The Texas Chainbuck Remake", "Scatwoman", "Barfield", just to name a few...). "Exorcist II" was cut by John Boorman and was supposedly a bit less of a mess than the original version is. "Robocop II" was heavily cut and reedited - sadly, many excellent scenes were destroyed in the process (the Elvis skeleton scene must have been great...)
BTW, ignoring the dreadful spew of puke named "Vidocq" (a flick by the idiot who made "Scatwoman" and who, like that other idiot "McG", likes to pretend he has only one name), "Loups" is probably the worst French film I've had the displeasure to see since, uh, *ever*. It makes The 5th Element and even the horrible Taxi flicks look watchable. Hell, it makes "Le Gendarme et les extraterrestres" look like the best part of the whole Gendarme series.
