I may be wrong, but I believe Mall*Wart insists on studio-modified versions of movies to fit their "tastes". (The high percentage of lard-butts blocking the aisles wearing lime-green stretchie things indicates we don't share the same tastes.)

I hope someone can enlighten me if I've got it wrong.

The reason I'm almost sure of the fact that Wal-Mart movies aren't altered from their theatrical release (other than the large number of movies I've bought there) is because of the fierce manner the MPAA protects their films. A few years ago, a company tried to sell "family friendly" movies with the profanity and the nudity edited out, and the MPAA went nuts.

Just picked up T2 at Wal-Mart. The only modifications were the ones advertised on the box (ie the Extreme Version with 16 minutes of stuff that was cut from the theatrical version).
