Sadly, not quite the consistent implementation. Unfortunately from the soundtrack deleted dialogs are missing in a few places in the Ulysses Cut as well, while in the real US-Cut defused beat- / kick-sounds can be heard several times uncensored in Arrows TV-Cut. So on the one hand, it is noticeable, that there is a mix regarding the sound-censorships or more specifically the two Arrow-Versions are identical either in one direction or the other. The present censorship-report is therefore similar to the actual censored content of the US TV-Version, but in detail there are a few differences - in both Arrows TV-Version as well as in the house-made Ulysses Cut. Since experience shows, that this procedure is always very vulnerable to small mistakes in newly put together film-versions or just simply decisions of a label going this way, which are discussion-worthy, it was certain, that we would take a closer look at the new Arrow-Versions. Small Differences in TV-Version & Ulysses Cut by Arrow VideoĪs you could take from the two older censorship-reports, there are also many deviations with alternative material or censorship-related adjustments purely on the soundtrack. And exactly in the wake of these developments, the „Ulysses Cut“ on the third Disc - which offers an uncensored film option with the longer TV-Material - of this Limited-Edition was reconstructed. As we reported earlier, restored in 4K was not only the original Theatrical-Version, but also the additional material of the TV-Version, which was found and then scanned in 4K. Now, of course, with such a fanedit, you are more in a legal gray area and the joy was great among fans, as the British Collectors-Label Arrow Video announced the details for the 3-disc Blu-ray set available since the 21.
Over the years, a popular fan-edit (or rather several versions of it), which was called "Ulysses Cut" and contained the extensions of the US TV-Cuts, but at the mentioned censorship-locations again matched the uncensored Theatrical-Version.
To clear things up a little more, in a separate special censorship-report we have already pointed out the censored moments of the TV-Version. However, it was important to emphasize, that for the American television-requirements also some censorship-procedures were made. In our censorship-report about the US TV-Cut we have already presented the largely interesting enhancements.

Later you could first watch on US TV and then also find on the American DVD an Extended Version coming closer to the original vision. Costner fired the original director and longtime friend Kevin Reynolds without further ado and trimmed about 40 minutes. Originally, only 100 million US-Dollars were scheduled and the massive increase in costs was one of the reasons why they laid their hands on it again for a final Theatrical-Version. In 1995, with Kevin Costners Waterworld, a much-debated last days-epic came into the cinemas, which at that time, with 175 million US-Dollars, was the most expensive movie of all time. 45 deviations, including 5x alternative material & 8 censorships of sound The comics also introduces The Foundation, the remnants of the United States government who are living in an underwater bubble, and also introduces new villains, the Children of Leviathan who are led by " The Leviathan", and who supplied the Deacon's Smoker organisation.Comparison between the TV-Cut and the Ulysses Cut (both included on Disc 2 + 3 of Arrow Videos UK Blu-ray) The comic hints at the possibility that the Mariner's mutation may not be caused by evolution but by genetic engineering and that his origins may be linked to those of the " Sea Eater", the sea monster seen during the fishing scene in the film. The comics also reveal some of the Mariner's back-story as he further explores Waterworld and gathers clues about where he came from and why he is different. The comic expands on the possible cause of the melting of the polar ice caps and worldwide flood. The volume was published in four monthly issues
