     I have heard many of my friends argue this point.  I personally did
NOT see the scene in the movie, however, most of the people that I asked
that said they DID see this scene, saw the movie AFTER I had.  This 
brings up a question:

     Is it possible that there was a later release of the movie with a
     few of the scenes reinserted?
