So it's effectively a longer version of the theatrical cut. We definitely need to grab this somehow.

Wow, wonder what other alternate footage is in there. Very interesting find.

Is this another case of someone grabbing the wrong video master off the shelf?

It's being thought that this may have been the second to last version before Donner had the kid being killed and souffle scenes removed for the final cut. He's been vocal about not liking these scenes in interviews and the commentary. I can see Thau putting together a provisional cut, before Donner came in to add his input and sign off on putting his name to it.
