I thought I noticed the removal of a black screen near the end of the film but wasn't sure, and I had given my old disc to a relative so couldn't check yet. This comparison shows I wasn't crazy, but it also shows there are a handful of new alterations compared to the director's cut on the WB disc (which I always assumed was the same as what was on the Criterion LaserDisc).

The craziest thing I learned from both commentaries on @criterion’s #MenaceIISociety is that the directors intended that Ileana was lying to Caine about her pregnancy, and she was just trying to fleece him for the money for the “abortion.”

cdnchris noted that a few posts up- definitely not something I thought was obvious either
