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 steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
“I alternate treading water
and deadman’s float.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
