Hey everyone!!

Darkwing Duck was one of my favorite shows growing up, and still a guilty pleasure of mine nowadays. I just love how it pokes fun at superhero cliches. Unfortunately it seems the DVD set contains the syndication version of the pilot “movie” Darkly Dawns the Duck" which omits the following scenes:

An opening chase sequence showing Darkwing capturing a gang of fleeing criminals (oddly enough, the scene of Darkwing ramping the Ratcatcher up and into the bed of a pickup truck, catapulting the criminals inside into some trashcans, is featured prominently in the show’s opening sequence).
While following Tantalus on the Ratcatcher, Darkwing almost has a head-on collision with a large truck and is yelled at by the driver.
A longer version of the scene where Hoof and Mouth are twirling their rifles around before Darkwing jumps them.
A scene showing Taurus Bulba wheeling a cart of dirty clothes to the prison laundromat, establishing that Hammerhead, Hoof and Mouth are hiding inside it.
Following the car chase, Mouth has a panic attack and begins screaming, “We’re all gonna die! We’re all gonna die!” until Hammerhead hits him.
A longer scene of Taurus Bulba ranting about Darkwing’s ego, with him imitating Darkwing’s mannerisms and poses: “His posing, his flamboyance, the mask and cape! Ha, ha! That hat! It all indicates an ego the size of a small planet!”
While in his jail cell, the scene where Darkwing tries to get the biker pig to punch him is much longer.
A brief scene where Taurus Bulba comments that the design of the Thunderquack is ugly.

I believe the uncut version was released on VHS sometime in the 90s. Anyone consider a preservation?
