Just watched the very mundane supplement about The Outsiders, and basically Coppola justifies what he's done by saying he's gotten thousands of letters begging him to put back all the scenes that were cut. That's all fine, but just have the original version as an alternate.
They flew up as many of the cast as were available to Napa to see the new cut, and of course Coppola videotaped everything, which I find tiresome. Interestingly, only Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze and C. Thomas Howell were there. No sign of Matt Dillon or Tom Cruise or anybody else.
