So, the Lion's Gate version was edited from the 105 minute Theatrical Cut. (I edited my Director's Cut version for artistic reasons, not censorship reasons). It is Uncut as well, but I tightened the film to my original vision. My Director's Cut DVD of "M-S-P" runs 90 minutes. The Lion's Gate "R" rated version is based on the THEATRICAL CUT-which ran 105 minutes. There was 22 minutes cut out of the Lion's Gate 83 minute "R" rated version of "Murder-Set-Pieces"!! (twenty-two minutes).a record for a horror film!! After this he says "turn around", then is plays out the same as the DVD version after that.Įxtended scenes of The Photographer driving the strip.Ī rather artistic shot of The Photographer running towards the screen barefoot on a road, bleeding at the mouth.

She does, then smacks her own butt and says something like 'these are my best ASSets'. She apologizes, and The Photographer asks her to take off her clothes. The "bathtub" girl/stripper arriving late.

The Photographer watching a bizarre film strip of a girl tied on a bed wearing a pig's mask.Ī scene where The Photographer is shown picking up the first prostitutes before the whole "red light, house music, slit throat/choke" scene. The Psychic Reading/Killing: The photographer visits a psychic who won't reveal "what the cards say", thus upsetting him and leading to the psychic's strangulation. Phone Argument between Jade's sister and The Photographer while at work. The DVD begins with a new credit montage featuring images of characters that will be murdered later in the film, thus spoiling who the victims will be. The theatrical version began with The Photographer taking shots of a bloody corpse. Some of the scenes missing from the new DVD includes:Ī different beginning. The original theatrical version (and workprint) of this film ran roughly 15 minutes longer than the new "Director's Cut" DVD of the film. The 105 minute version was the first theatrical release, which Nick Palumbo then took and re-cut for its DVD release.
