Help: looking for... The Program (1993)

Aside from in the theater has anyone ever seen this unedited?
I’m trying to obtain a copy that only lasted in the theater for a couple weeks before being pulled where the football team was laying in the middle of the busy highway… The scene was cut after multiple people imitated the scene with tragic results.

I’ve spent hours looking for this online with no luck.
The run time for the edited version is 1:52:23
The uncensored version will be closer to 1:55:00

Rumor has it that early VHS copies and the Hong Kong LaserDisc as well as the Australian R4 DVD are uncensored.
I’ve looked for these to purchase all over and found some of the DVD’s but the sellers confirmed the run times to be the shorter version.

The clip can be found on YouTube but I’d like to have the complete movie.

the Hong Kong laserdisc is practically worthless if you want this scene in English

It’s been over 20 years since I’ve used a laser disc so I can’t even remember… was there an option for multiple audio tracks?
If not there is still the Australian DVD version… if either of these actually exist with this scene.

I’m still searching for this but I just had a thought about the time difference… The US version is 112 minutes. The uncensored version I’m looking for is approx 3 minutes longer… however this is going to be a PAL release with a faster framerate. So the actual run time on the PAL DVD might actually be shorter than the edited NTSC version. So if my math is correct the PAL version should only be around 110 minutes? Am I thinking this right?

Almist 110 minutes PAL is correct.

German VHS was uncensored but just dubbed. In pay TV we hat the uncensored but also the censored.

Best of luck finding the movie.

Yes, only one audio track on the DVD in English.
No subtitles.
No extras.

Are you able to rip that by any chance?

I’m interested

I just sent you a PM too. I understand if it’s too much of a hassle but would love to get this if I could.
