I think that for the broadcast version the shot was altered - they saw that numbers are different and changed it.thegreatnorthern wrote:Also, just a note the room numbers change as hawk looks at the sign in front of him and to his right, while pursuing the one armed man
the morgue, room 205, becomes, 241
and the oxygen storage, room 203, becomes 231
these are from the itunes 1080p
I think the 720 and gold box edition are consistent
It looks like the original shot (probably still photo??) of the wall was taller (with 'exit' sign) and the middle part (with sign and numbers) was cut out.
Still from broadcast version looks like edited in the middle. The DD/720p/1080p version has the light from the "exit" sign at the top of the frame.
Probably the original (taller) photo or altered shot wasn't available, and they used what was available (maybe from workprint edit?).
Oh, and I'm 100% sure that the original broadcast version has "Exit" sign. I don't know why, but I remember that one detail clearly for last 20 years.
