I could have sworn there was a directors cut version of The Stand. The bit near the end where Ralph & Larry are in the dismemberment thingo. I swear the first time I watched this they actually got part way through the execution and it was kinda painful to watch. In the "normal" version which I watched just then they don't even get to wind the chains around once before Whit jumps on the soapbox.
On a similar note, I've been looking for a cut of Predator 2 for a very long time that I've only ever seen on Oz TV as a kid.
At first I thought I was mistaken, until I eventually found a few other people in Oz online that saw the same cut. (I saw them post about such without me inquiring, so that means they probably did see the same scene and I wasn't mistaken.)
Near the beginning, in the "armory" scene with El Scorpio and his gang, it normally cuts away when Predator jumps through the ceiling and kills the gang. The cut I saw had Pred slicing and dicing them.
I get why it'd be cut; too early to show such, and they show a similar scene at the "penthouse" (and later on a couple of more times); less violence too, so less chance of a "R" rating.
