DVD Release With Alternate Version
Two brief scenes were cut from the above theatrical version for the 2001 Anchor Bay Entertainment DVD release:
- The scene where the time experiment scientists pinpoint Swann's exact day in the past as being November 5, 1877 is missing.
- The scene where Reese is struck by the rescue helicopter's tail rotor, leaving only his sheared off, bloody feet and boots is missing. Instead, the original sound effects remain, and a shot of Reese cowering on the ground is inserted.
As of April 2011, the original theatrical version is currently available as a rental from Netflix. Both versions cite a 93-minute running time.
Shout! Factory announced they would be releasing the film on Blu-ray on March 19, 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words release, alternate and/or version:
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
“In museums and palaces we are alternate radicals and conservatives.”
—Henry James (1843–1816)
“Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
