Forgive the hyperbolic title but it's sadly true.
The line that's missing:
So you think "This is just censored on whatever Disney's streaming platform of choice like when they censored the ass shot in Splash (1984)" but sadly this censored version was seen on the Criterion channel where this has blown up now.
This is why film preservation is so important and why a mega conglomerate like Disney should not have so much control. This is sadly the start of a domino effect because it's not hard to imagine this entire scene from the classic Dirty Harry being removed or dubbed over like in shitty TV edits:
Disney (through Fox) owns the rights to Dario Argento's Inferno and could very easily cut out the cat scene. It reminds me of something Joe Bob Briggs warned about where PETA could buy the international rights to Cannibal Holocaust and just torch all the prints. God forbid if Disney were to ever to get a hold of Cannibal Holocaust.
Fuck Disney. Fuck conglomerates. Fuck wokeness. Fuck censorship. You will take away the nigger version of the French Connection from my cold dead hands you motherfuckers.
The line that's missing:
It’s a bit between Doyle and Cloudy, who’s nursing a wounded arm after being stabbed by a drug dealer.
Doyle: “You dumb guinea.”
Cloudy: “How the hell did I know he had a knife?”
Doyle: “Never trust a nigger.”
Cloudy: “He coulda been white.”
Doyle: “Never trust anyone.”
