[Show spoiler]I didn't like the internal shots of the mothership

. I saw the theatrical release at the theater three times as a kid, then we saw the special edition at the drive-in.

[Show spoiler]I totally forgot that the ship-in-the-desert-scene was not in the original release. I looked for it in version 1 and couldn't find it

.

EDITED BY ME TO REMOVE THE SPOILERS

Something makes me think that this looks suspiciously deliberate... picking up on the points that I was careful to hide with spoiler tabs. There will be many who haven't seen this older movie!!! Please prove me wrong.

Complete !!!
