international audiences have often been treated to a slightly different

version of the feature that initially arrives on American cinema screens.

But that isn't always the case. In fact, sometimes it's those watching within the U.S.

[{"selector":"#anim-693b558f-6bb6-487f-b7c3-322cce2833c6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

And this chopping and changing can even lead to arguably the movie in question's best moment being left out completely.
