Waterworld (1995) More at IMDbPro »

The circumstances involving the production of Waterworld are probably much more interesting than the movie itself. Often claimed as a financial disaster the movie was heavily cut for the Theatrical Version. Years later American broadcaster ABC aired an reconstructed Extended Version that was running more than 43 minutes longer than the well-known version featuring scenes, that were cut prior to the movie's theatrical release. Later on this version was released on DVD as well.
