details

• A 40 second scene at 1:46 on the DVD showing Ryan having sex in a car was not seen on the PPV telecast nor in theatres but was on the DVD. A promotional clip showing Shane and Julie discussing her status as his girlfriend was edited out of the film after the line where she says "You're Sweet". Another promotional clip had Bell & Jame's "Linging it Up (Friday Night) playing when Shane was trying to get into 54. In the film no song was playing at the time.
  
  
• Although not advertised as such, the Region 1 DVD appears to be an extended version of the film. Clocking in at 100 minutes (the DVD packaging incorrectly lists the running time at 93 minutes), the DVD version is a full 11 minutes longer than the US theatrical cut. Scenes in the DVD not present in the theatrical version include a bathroom sex scene between Ryan Phillippe and Selma Hayek, an extension of the sex scene between Phillippe and Sela Ward, and extensions of other scenes that play up the love triangle between Phillippe, Hayek, and Breckin Meyer. Many of these extensions were part of director Mark Christopher's original version of the film, greatly changed and edited before theatrical release.
