[edit] Japanese version

What are the differences in the Japanese version of the movie? I have heard it is a longer/alternate cut, but what scenes exactly are affected? Jordi·✆ 12:42, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I believe WmG has stated that the Japanese editing is close to his vision of what the movie should have been like, while the non-Japanese editing disappointed him.

The original version intended by Robert Longo and William Gibson had score music by a band called Black Rain. All of that was removed by Sony; they insisted on using their own music instead. On the Japanese version, only one Black Rain song supposedly remains.

Also, there were supposed to be more scenes with Street Preacher and Anna Kalmann. William Gibson mentioned a scene with Street Preacher delivering a sermon before a crowd of people. All that was cut, even from the Japanese version. I think the only scenes that remain are some extra scenes of Takahashi. The movie is a garbled mess, because of all the plot and dialogue that Sony cut out of it.

William Gibson also wrote how Sony excised the humor from the movie. We will probably never see the version the creators shot and intended, because of Sony's meddling.

[edit] When Jonny Downloads the info....

He goes into the restroom and does a breathing excersise.....

what is that breathing excersie?

Tai Chi??

[edit] Another post modern reference?

Anyone out have a copy of 2001 ? The scean where JM goes thru customs and the computer scans him looks like the phisical interface HAL out of 2001 ? I'd like to compare it but I don't at the moment have access to a copy the movie.

Sorry for not loging in ..
