Only the scenes involving crimes and police work are intact. However, scenes involving minor characters and personal lives have been cut. This removes a lot of the depth for the characters that Michael Mann developed so well, but it also speeds up the movie and makes it a more straight-forward, cat-and-mouse game between the cops and the criminals.
Intentions:
Simplify the story to its basic elements… cops and robbers.
Change List:
– Removed sub-plots involving Eady, Charlene, Justine, Lauren, and Marciano. – Moved part of Hanna/McCauley diner meeting as a pre-title scene. – New pre-title credits in the style of “The Shield” – Removed scene with Chris talking about his marital problems with Neil. – Removed dinner scene with gang and family. – Removed Waingro with hooker. – Removed Donald with girlfriend. – Removed police get together with wives. – Removed Hanna/McCauley talking about their dreams. – Lots of other minor cuts to improve pacing.
