Mark's Personal Recommendation:
The Director's Cut of the Lawnmower Man is twice the movie that the major release is. I strongly suggest that you rent or buy the videotape Director's Cut edition of this film which plays the sizeable scenes deleted from the regular version as part of the film. Avoid the DVD
version which features the original scenes on the other side of the disk as extensive deleted scenes kept
separate from the film. The Director's Cut is far superior as none of the cut scenes should've been cut. The DVD edition of this film was disappointing
despite well-intended efforts. I only hope that they re-release the DVD as the Director's Cut
version in the future.
Trivia:
Early versions of the film claimed that they were related to a Stephen King's "The Lawnmower Man", but it was completely different to the movie. King sued the film makers, and had his name removed from the film.
When Dr. Angelo stimulates Jobe's brain using virtual reality, the symbols that fly at Jobe are Kabbalistic mystical symbols with ancient Hebrew writing around them.
