* The alternate version of [[spoiler:Mr. Martin's death]] in the 2003 movie's [=DVD=]. Second Unit Director James Wong said, at the time, that it was the most disturbing thing he'd ever shot in his entire career and that he actually got sick while filming it. It really should not be watched by the faint of heart.
