Alien vs. Predator
Comparison - Theatrical Version
- Unrated
|
In this censorship report we have compared the theatrical version with the unrated version. Both versions are on the US-DVD from 20th Century Fox (The Unrated Edition)! The violence scenes that had to be cut for a PG-13 rating are reinserted in the unrated version. However, the majority of the reinserted scenes consist of more CGI blood. In exchange there are a few good additional scenes like the one named "Chamber of Skulls", all in all the unrated version appears a bit more realistic and harder (in relation to the violence) and more complete (in relation to the storyline). The people who didn't like AvP before, won't like the movie in this version either, just in case you thought the movie would be better in the unrated version.
The unrated version is 7:53 min. longer than the theatrical version!
0:22 min. - 1:46 min.

A guy runs around, freaked out, he is chased by something. He enters a building. Inside the building he looks around scared. Suddenly a camouflaged predator appears behind him. The guy tries to escape but has no chance and is thrown against a wall. The predator aims at him with his laser. In the trap, we suddenly see from the predator's point of view, how an alien jumps from the right side towards the predator. Then we can see the claw of the predator and the opening credits begin.

Connor's weapon falls to the floor in the theatrical edition, in the unrated we see an alternate setting. The reason for this is that the weapon doesn't fall into alien slime in the theatrical version and would therefore cause a goof. From here until his death, several alternate settings are used which makes this scene much more creepy in the unrated version. After he picks up his weapon, the theatrical edition changes to the next scene while the unrated shows the alien running down towards him from his viewpoint.
Length: Unrated 12 sec. longer.

In the further progress of the scene we see Weyland from behind as the bloody claws of the predator come out of his back. Therefore the closeup of Weyland is shorter in the unrated when the predator pokes his claws into him in the (off-screen!). After that, we can see some blood pouring out of his mouth.
