I feel so cheated! I just tried to watch the movie Rocky for the fist time. It was playing on On Demand, so I set aside a couple hours to watch it. It was a bit strange though, because there were two copies of the movie on On Demand selection screen. The only difference was that Sylvester Stallone's name was spelled wrong on one version. I thought noting of it and choose one.

By the end of the movie, I was thoroughly confused. The plot made no sense and it seemed to be missing some of the most famous scenes (like Rocky punching the animal carcasses). I went back and checked the other version by fast forwarding through the entire movie. Sure enough this version made much more sense and had the missing scenes. I then fast forwarded though Rocky II and found the problem.

Someone had cut off the second half of Rocky 1 and replaced it with the second half of Rocky 2. Then they cut off the ending of Rocky 2 during the climactic fight scene and switched back to the ending of Rocky 1.

Now I have to watch both movies again, even though they are ruined.
