Sorry, I know this doesn't fit here, but I came across a curiosity on IMDB, regarding the changes made to 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' after its' initial theatrical run. Here's the entry:

The original 1981 version of the movie contained a few additional seconds during the Raven Bar fight. In this footage, Pat Roach's character shoves Indiana Jones against several walls while one of the Nazi henchman laughs. This footage was deleted in all re-release prints and video releases.

In the cinema release of Raiders, immediately AFTER the credits, there was a cutaway to the boxed Ark of the Covenant in the US Govt warehouse, and the U.S. Govt brand on the box is gradually being burnt away by the Ark. This scene is missing from the DVD release of the film.

If this for real? I saw 'Raiders' several times, but don't remember any of this...

LOL, I wouldn't be surprised if they did censor that
I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...
