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:
“Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
“In museums and palaces we are alternate radicals and conservatives.”
—Henry James (1843–1816)
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
