cut Bullet in the Head from about 3 hours to  about 2 hours. Secretly, he had hoped that as soon as he got to  Hollywood, he would acquire the rights to his old films (including  Bullet) and put back in all the things that he was once forced to  cut. But when he tried to do so, he was told that all the material  he had cut, hadnt been preserved, but instead wandered straight  into the garbage bin.
