Openings compared
From when the plane takes off:
Final Cut and Theatrical use the same opening sequence shot for shot.
All show the plane taking off from Plockton most likely but it’s hard to tell with some shots of the DC.
The music starts earlier in the DC.
Why did EB-P feel the need to cut the opening?
OK, credits in DC are in the opening shots. Otherwise the credits are the same.
Shots in red are unique to those versions.
7 in FC/Theatrical
5 in DC
