: I have just looked on the Internet Movie Database and I discovered that not only the Indy movies, but other stuff like Star Trek and GhostBusters are all 5 minutes longer than the UK versions. All of the UK versiosn are just a 5 minute difference.
: Is this difference cut footage, cuz someone where I work told me that NTSC runs 5 minutes longer than PAL technology, so only the counter on your video or DVD player will show a 5 minute difference, and that there is absolutely no difference in the film itself.
: Can anyone help me...?
: Chris.
---- Yes, it is the different frame rates between NTSC and PAL which cause this time difference. To my knowledge there are no differences in actual content between the US and UK versions.
