The original showed Val Kilmer's character drinking peyote before the scene in the middle with the fire. This has been poorly edited out because we don't want people to experience anything spiritual in this day and age. Now that whole scene makes no sense at all... Why is he freaking out in front of the fire and having visions? Why does the Indian Sheriff say 'I know you're scared' when Val Kilmer pulls his gun out... Is he afraid of the dark? Is he afraid of the fire? No, they just edited out the whole point of the movie in that he couldn't solve the crime using just his logical brain, he had to step out of the normal state of mind and seek help from his ancestors and the spirit world through the use of OMG! DRUGS!.. But of course we can't allow that in this technical nightmare of a world that is coming... So, remember why peyote is illegal in the first place to keep people from communicating with the other realms... So better enjoy the digital realm because the real world is turning into hell quicker than you can say 'Why did they edit that out?'... Very disappointing and now the movie and that whole scene makes much less sense.
