Answer #5
Well, for example in Aliens, you have some scenes showing what happened at the colony before the distress call was sent out. It was a long scene, but kind of unneccesary. I preferred the movie without that scene. Then there are some scenes that are just a bit longer than in the regular version, like you see more cloesups of guns, some more blood flying etc
Answer #6
kingdom of heaven DC is way better then TC (theatrical cut)
it’s about 30 min longer if I remember correctly
cuts:
theatrical (as seen in cinema, usually shorter, more trillseeking) final (as sold on dvd)
directors (as the director wanted it, deleted some scenes, added some, re-arrange them)
extended (with all the deleted scenes added, or with the extra scenes seperate on a second dvd)
