The Last Of The Mohicans NTSC (Original Version) aka (Theatrical Version) or (International Version)

I have converted the European PAL Version to proper NTSC, which comes out to be the correct (?) 112min. Actually made two versions - single and dual layer. Both have anamorphic video; the single-layer version (~4.2GB) has DD2.0 sound while the dual-layer (~7.2GB)has DD5.1. Also includes new menus, trailer and music-only track. I already emailed Rikter about getting this to him. Hopefully I can get this to Segaflip so that he can do his usual thing with it on the newsgroups. I'll try to get a screenshot of the menu up soon. AND maybe eventually I'll try to do an edit that incorporates some of the best additions(?) of the expanded edition into the original.

The NTSC theatrical version is available from both region 4 (brazil) as digitalfreaknyc stated in another thread and also region 3 (korea). I should be receiving a region 3 one soon, hopefully the koreans didn't censor anything, I'll let people know when I get this, it was significantly cheaper than importing a region 4 would have been. That would be sweet though if you put all of the footage together without deleting some of the original footage as the director's cut did.
Now what would be really sweet if somebody got their hands on this (info from imdb)

The film was originally scheduled for a Summer 1992 release, as the teaser posters said, but when Michael Mann's first version clocked in at three hours, he was told by Fox to cut the film down and the release was postponed to September. Mann was never happy with the resulting two hour version, feeling he had not had enough time to properly trim it, and so Fox allowed him to re-edit it entirely for the 1999 DVD release. Although only a few minutes longer, the new version features minor changes throughout the film. It is Mann's preferred version and the only one available on DVD in the US.
