Ra’s severed hand from Pioneer DVD but it is in all versions of the film. The close up shot was cut though

Good news and bad news I have the documentary with the extra deleted scenes in 720 x 576 it’s on the french collectors edition version of the film. So I have it in DVD Quality and it will be a perfect match quality wise. And the extra or alternate bit’s of sound mix from it too.

But I am probably not going to start this project until the winter time as I just spent ages on a project recently and I don’t want to get back in to doing another one just yet as It takes up too much time.

More info on the guy who has the handgun. The timeline is swapped in that when the soldier is taken before RA he is thrown on the ground then smashed in the face. THEN he is dragged across the floor with the blood on his head after he has been hit very hard and not before. The Blood on his head is not present when he is thrown in front of RA’s sarcophagus.

Before the age of digital removal This is a normal way to soften a sequence by taking the Context of cause and effect of violence and swapping them in time so as the violence remains but the act and the after effect are removed in context so that we can see the injury and then we see the actual moment the violence occurs but they are without any context to one another as we are time travelling and the 2 appear to be unconnected events.

This happens in quite a few points in the film where cause and effect are swapped pertaining to perceived violence. Or worst of all there is a gap and we get a jump cut where the violence is simply hard cut out and we skip quite literally over it.
