Bloody Disgusting has a report from Alien vs. Predator which tells of a screening where people were making fun of the film during the screening! The director also talked of the studio’s cutting of the movie’s best parts, trimming for R-rated content and special effect scenes that were not ready.

When the Predator took off his helmet in front of Lex after the explosions someone shouted “Gimme some sugar, baby.” I mean, this movie was bad, but I didn’t expect these people to be so blatant about it.

When Anderson and the effects guys approached the tables, they were smirking with each other. The first subject that came up, no thanks to me, was the length and PG-13 rating.

So here it is, from the horses mouth.

About the studio’s cutting of the film, which he had no control over, he said, and I quote, “All of the best scenes were cut.” Anderson was obviously very annoyed at the way the film was released. However, this was not purely because of the PG-13 limitation, which incidentally, the studio enforced THREE WEEKS before the release date! It was always going to be R until then. Part of the reason for the cutting was that some of the effects were not ready by the time the release date came around. The effects team had very little time to do anything.

As far as the content that was cut, apparently we see all those who die, die on screen, but he also said that there is a sub-plot that we will have to wait for on DVD. Yes there will be an R-rated Director’s cut DVD although they don’t know the release date yet.

Note that the full article spoils a few scenes from the movie.
