Alternate versions for
Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973) More at IMDbPro »

The 1973 UK cinema version featured the shorter 106 minute print and was cut by the BBFC for violence. Video releases featured the restored 116 minute print (known as the "Turner Preview Version") which contained the violence but lost 16 secs of BBFC cuts to a forwards horsefall and shots of cockfighting. DVD releases include both the Turner Preview print and the 2005 110 minute Special Edition, both of which suffer the cockfight/horsefall cuts.
For its original release the film was massively recut by the studio without the director's approval. Subsequently the editor, Roger Spottiswoode, restored it in a manner closer to Peckinpah's intentions. The Peckinpah/Spottiswoode version introduces several scenes not in the original release, most notably a framing narrative showing Garrett's death twenty-five years later; it also removes the song "Knocking on Heaven's Door" from the Dylan soundtrack at the death of Sheriff Baker.
Television version had violence and nudity cut and new scenes added.
