After watching the unrated version on DVD, I felt a little ripped off. The back says the PG-13 version actually runs a few minutes longer! I don't know how that happened. They added a few f-bombs here and there including the complete yippie-kay-yay line. But even that's still a little muffled w/ a gun shot.

But the one thing that irked me the most was "it's now unrated because we added digital blood!" The film was shot with a hard PG-13. When people get shot, they were rigged with squibs that blast a bunch of white powder like what is seen in the theatrical version. In the unrated, they just digitally replaced the powder with painfully obvious digital blood. They did this same rip-off technique with the unrated version of Max Payne.

I SAY WEAKSAUCE! They should have just shot it R in the first place like, I don't know, the rest of the series!
