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.
