Following the films production, it was severely edited by the studio and producer

(in

s absence), cutting its length by about 20 minutes - remarkably, none of the excised footage was violent. Due to its violence, the film was originally threatened with an "X" rating by the MPAAs (Motion Picture Association of America) newly created Production Code Administration, but an "R" rating was its final decision. The film was restored to its original "directors cut" length of 143 minutes and threatened with an NC-17 rating when submitted to the MPAA ratings board in 1993 prior to a re-release in 1994, holding up the films re-release for many months. The reinstated scenes (including two important flashbacks from Pikes past, and a battle scene between
Pancho Villa
s rebels and Gen. Mapaches forces at the telegraph station) depicted the underlying character and motivations of the leader of the Bunch.
