Ooh! "Corporate edits!"

Personally, I agree with the Branson cut, but leaving the tailfin in would have been okay. Don't worry British Airways! This is your first fan edit. We all learn.

this isn't the first time something like this has happened. If I remember correctly, in the movie Rain Man, most airlines edited out the scene where Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise have the discussion where Raymond won't get on any airlines because they have had crashes. So the movie just cuts to them on the road, with no explanation whatsoever as to why.

Airlines have a well-established tendency of editing references to plane crashes and hijackings from in-flight movies. For instance, Barry Sonnenfeld mentioned in the commentary for "Get Shorty" that the scene showing a plane crashing on takeoff was removed, and dialogue changed to make it a train crash.

The shuttle scene and all references to the shuttle scene was removed from The Core when i saw it on the way to Cancun.
lucky i saw it at the cinema when it came out.

has anyone ever preserved an airline cut of a film?

In this age of laptops, portable DVD, and Ipods, why do they even bother with hacked up movies on airlines anymore? I took a train trip earlier this year, and Amtrak had stopped showing movies in the snack car. It's interesting the studios were still providing them with VHS copies of current films as late as last fall. (My previous train trip had showings of X-Men III and Devil Wears Prada, fullscreen and edited for content.) What format do airlines use these days? And do they still charge you for the crappy headphones?

Where were you in '77?
