Did anyone on here first see the BB movie as an edited TV version? That's how I first saw it as a kid. I had a couple of different edits taped from TV (on Beta!). As I remember, one had all the swears dubbed over, and the other one just had silence in those spots! I finally saw the movie for real when I was in 4th or 5th grade, when I got a commercial VHS copy as a reward for a good report card.
Anyway, just lately I caught some of the movie on TV again. The dubs sounded familiar. I think they were the same as on one of the old Beta copies from TV -- and I think the voices were those of Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi. I'm surprised I didn't realize that back then.
The particular "cut" of the film that's been on TV lately is just brutal. Besides the dubs, some shots with no dialogue are compressed/sped up, and others are just gone. Some of the cuts are just inexplicable. Here's the worst I saw, at Mrs. Torontino's house:
Jake: Did they leave a forwarding address, phone number?
Mrs. Torontino: Are you the police?
Notice anything missing there??
Anybody have any memories they'd like to share of TV edits of the movie?
