This is the case I have, btw:

I had 2 copies on VHS and you are correct. The one I'm holding in this picture has the director's cut.

The other copy I own, the widescreen one, does not.

I never did bother to play them since I got them from a thrift shop (I purchased for collector's purposes) and God damn I forgot how slow VCR's rewind tapes lmao. Both VHS's just had to be right where the movie ended.

Yup, that was the VHS I had too. I also was shocked when I noticed how much gorier the opening scene was and I realized I might have stumbled upon a rarity.

Side note: did anyone notice audio mistakes during the opening, specifically when Ghostface says "Mrs. Voorhees was the original killer" and the score when Casey's mom first discovers her body?

No. Director's Cut first.

I can understand someone who knows that version since it debuted on VHS, but I have never watched it so the R-rated cut is the only one I know my whole life

Awesome! saw this in theaters 2 times at age 15 and bet it will look great in 4K

I can't believe they left in the Anthony Anderson moment. Also another moment with that deputy that was just eye-rolling. They're really the only moments that extremely bothered me in the movie, plus the diffuse glow look of the cinematography.

There also the Korean DVD that's mostly uncut, IIRC the shot of Casey hanging from the tree is still sped up but everything else is uncut.

"Scream 2" uses Zimmer/Broken Arrow for Dewey because the producers wanted to have the temp music, i.e. play it safe. I don't think it's bad, but I found it odd, hearing "Broken Arrow" at the cinema with "Scream 2" again at any rate.

At least Zimmer got another paycheck.

Holy shit, it IS Zimmer's Broken Arrow music! I had never noticed that, but then it's probably been 15 years since I watched Scream 2.

And like all his later stuff, not the session guys and gals who actually wrote it

I'm not against them including the R-rated version as such, but the Unrated version has been commercially available since 1997, so it's not something newly cobbled together for marketing purposes. It's Craven's director's cut and if ONLY one version is preserved it should be that one.

I thought they did it as a joke (i.e. to give the uncool Dewey a cool theme). I really don't think they were trying to fool anyone.

At least this was SOMEONE ELSE stealing another composer's work, not the same fookin composer putting the CD in and pressing shuffle

I gotta say, that piece of music resonates far more with me w/ref to Scream than anything in Broken Arrow.
