Title: Theatrical cut gets 5 stars, extended gets 3
Review: Bugsy, in it's original form, is a great movie. I was excited that there was an extended director's cut when it came out.However, as extended director's cuts often turn out, this one was a bust. It becomes easy to see that the deleted scenes were deleted for very good reason. The pace of the film is excellent with the scenes removed, and totally wrecked with them inserted. The ending is particularly punished by the different editing, which is too bad, because the theatrical release has a GREAT ending.So stick with the original DVD, folks. Hopefully there will be a Blu-ray with the original cut available eventually. Until then, I shall practice elocution while I wait..."Twenty dwarves took turns...Twenty dwarves...Twenty dwarves took turns doing handstands on the carpet..."
