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:
“The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“I alternate treading water
and deadman’s float.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
