DISC 3: BD (TV VERSION)

• TV Version (120:09 Min.)
  This version of Excalibur was created for television to make the sex and violence more "PG friendly" and reduce the overall runtime to 120 minutes. While it does not feature any deleted scenes, it does include unique voiceover from Merlin in some scenes. Never available before on home video, this presentation is reconstructed from the new restoration based on a standard-definition reference tape held in the Warner Bros. archives, with one hot unique to this version upscaled from tape. While we have preserved the original theatrical aspect ratio here, on broadcast the film was "panned and scanned" to fit the standard 4:3 TV screens of the period.
