 Surely you should have put SPOILER before this post, because now all of us
know the result - bummer ;-)

Sorry. :-(
 I got most of this information off a web site
and this webmaster does make mistakes that "Jacki" was it? that was my fault.
Plus since i got this froma website they spelt "Scot" as "SCOTT". and if you
want to yell at them

If you listened to the part at the end when Bruce Dern was
interviewing John Frankenheimer (the director,) Frankenheimer said
that he didn't realize that the audience would be so sympathetic to
Sarti. He also said that in his haste to edit the movie, he removed
some of the scenes that would have made the audience more sympathetic
toward Pete Aron and make him a more likeable character. He all but
said that if he had to do it over again, Sarti would not have died.

I wonder if the footage still exists.  Although I imagine there would be
little financial incentive for the producer, I'd love to see a modern
director's cut.

Actually, it's John Young. Not Jackie at all!

I've always wondered where the Stewart came from.  Must be a
clan name I suppose.

This movie SCREAMS for a DVD version.  Criteron should jump and convince
John to release a Director's cut of the movie, with additionnal race footage
and deleted scenes (there is many of them).

I'm with you!  Also, then you could ffwd through the trivial bits, like the
plot.  Seriously, I'd buy it.

No.....you're getting confused, Chris.

His FULL name is "John Young Stewart". His two given names are "John" and
"Young" and his family name is "Stewart".
The abbreviation or common contraction for John is "Jack" (thus the pet-name
"Jackie").

I think you'll find that "John" doesn't own the rights to it, so it would
not do much good anyone trying to convince him to release it on anything.
(He was working for the studio at the time the movie was made, not for
himself.)
