In the process, they discover a deadly game of cat and mouse behind his disappearance.Some scenes got cut for runtime reasons, but there are a few violent scenes that got cut for avoid an NC-17 rating (one of them is a homage to the Ear cutting scenes in Reservoir Dogs), the Uncut international version restores 3 minutes of violence, but it still misses some violence, including the ear cutting scene (in the first scene and the final scene).
The workprint version (that includes the ear cutting scene) is circulating on the internet (through illegal downloads), the workprint version has a poor quality and it would be good if it would get realeased on DVD....with a decent quality. - DirectorTony KayeStarsEdward NortonEdward FurlongBeverly D'AngeloLiving a life marked by violence, neo-Nazi Derek finally goes to prison after killing two black youths.
