There were tons of crappy voice overs explaining what was going on. Theological content was removed - the “confession” scene where the robot murdered his creator, the stigmata-style wounds, the dove flying up to heaven. Even the famous “I’ve seen things …” speech was gone.

I don’t know if there’s a lesson there. Maybe “don’t worry about re-editing stinkers.”
