Better to see the old version. The new version with the guns taken out is plain lame.


Huh? that sucks...Can you explain to me exactly why and what they did...or find a good link explaining this whole gun taking out thing.

I believe you I just want to know about it because I used to love ET and this is the first I have heard about it.

The changes to the film, particularly the escape scene, were criticized as political correctness. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wondered, "Remember those guns the feds carried? Thanks to the miracle of digital, they're now brandishing walkie-talkies.... Is this what two decades have done to free speech?"

They also used some CGI in the 2002 version.
