Wow, its so cool to see so much interest. I thought I was all alone. I agree, if I had seen the Director's Cut first, I'd be a happy camper as they're available everywhere and would probably laugh at the US version.
But I really love Bill Conti's take on it. Its brilliant.
I haven't seen it in years, so I just want a usable dvd US version. I've seen a few laser discs for sale and would buy them and a laser disc player just to get my fix!!
