The only parts that were added to this movie were as follows:
- Before heading to the lake party, Sam is shown picking Miles up at his house. Miles derides Sam's choice of car colors.
- After Sam is questioned by the sheriff at the police station, he is given an anti-drug bumper sticker and shown the "This is Your Brain on Drugs" PSA starring Rachel Leigh Cook.
- After abducting Sam and Mikaela, Agent Simmons uses a device to monitor Sam's pupil dilation while interrogating him in the truck. He also remarks that he has "been there" when it comes to women with criminal records.
- Upon arriving at Hoover Dam, Simmons remarks colorfully that it is "Area 50". A few minutes later, he lists the nicknames of all the U.S. Presidents to have toured the facility.
- In Mission City, Lennox acquires short-range radios from a gun-toting, but easily-flattered, pawn shop owner.
All this makes up the additional two minutes of added footage.
And that's
still not all that was cut from the movie. When I was watching the bonus material on the movie 2-disc DVD, they showed about two seconds of a scene where Sam and his dad leave the police station, but I couldn't hear what they were saying because of the narration and then it cut back to one of the the filmmakers talking.
On top of that, some of the previews show a second of the scene that shows Fig's "death", which was also cut from the film. Not to mention the whole "The killer robot is really distracting!" scream made by Glen, as well as the lines by Keller, "We are facing war agianst a technological civilization far superior to our own. The enemy can change onto any form. They could be anywhere." were also cut from the film. And wasn't it said that Barricade's death was cut as well so he could be in the sequel?
So, even with the IMAX footage, we still may never get to see the FULL "completely un-cut" version of the movie.
