Vestron Pictures were unhappy with director Dennis Hopper's original 180 minutes cut of the film and re-edited it without his knowledge. Hopper was so enraged he sued the company, but they had already gone bankrupt. He nevertheless insisted on the anonymous Alan Smithee credit.

Directed by Dennis Hopper under the pseudonym "Alan Smithee", which is a common Hollywood pseudonym used by any director who is too unhappy with the finished film to put his real name on it.

Q
What are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Director's Cut?
A
After an initial disaster with the first cut of his movie, Dennis Hopper went back to the cutting room and created his Director's Cut of the movie, that runs nearly 20 minutes longer than the Theatrical Version. He filled several plotholes and altogether this is the version to see if one's interested in the movie. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
