Since you've seen the longer cut, here's one thing they cut which I've been told is indicative of the how the rest of the movie is treated:

[Show spoiler]The action scene at the beginning of the movie has a sequence where one of the Generals rides into the village to rescue his lord's wife and child. The majority of the action sequence is cut, including all the action around the wife and her death. All that is shown is the General fighting later on with the sling over his back with no explanation that it is the baby.

That was one of my favorite scenes, particularly early on.
