Rumble Fish: Blu-ray Vs. A&E TV Version

rumble_fish_xxlg.jpg

When aired on TV on the A&E network, an alternate version would be used. A deleted scene would be reinserted into the film to make up for the run time as some footage was cut as well as swearing. Some footage was also altered that was more suitable for television. This deleted scene appears in the Blu-ray, titled “Hey Steve, is your mother dying?”,  as well as in the novel. However, the deleted scene is much longer in the Blu-ray. The quality of the tape is also quite degraded.
