Did you know they dubbed Die Hard 2 with "Mr. Falcon" over "motherfucker" in an era where MORE PEOPLE would see it that way than any other?? But where is the outrage at Renny Harlin? It's completely the same!

LOL!

But I think it is fair to say that by 1990 most people had VHS where the original dialogue of Die Hard 2 could be heard.

But back in good ol' 1977 when an TV edit was made to a film that was it----you could not experience it any other way ------unless you were one of the wealthy/lucky few who could afford Betamax or Umatic Video-----or if the film in question had another run in the cinema.
