 The additional scenes, totaling 40 minutes in length, were added for the film's TV showing while 45 minutes of the original version were removed.Director Larry Peerce disowned the TV version, which credits the pseudonymous "Gene Palmer" as director and Francesca Turner (who also helped doctor David Lynch's "Dune" for TV) for the "teleplay".When shown on network television, this version of "Two-Minute Warning" is often shown rather than the original theatrical release.
