QWhat happened to Church?
AThe film does not explicitly say what happened to CIA agent Church. Barney mentions that Church gave him information on where to find Doc. Drummer merely states that "He is out of the picture" though the way he says it implies he may have died/been killed. In reality, actor Bruce Willis was offered 3 million dollars for 4 days of work and he turned it down, stating he wanted 4 million dollars. So he was replaced by Harrison Ford.
QHow different is the "Extended" version to the theatrical release?

QWhy did Barney start a new team that he didn't care about, but risked all to go and rescue them?
ABarney left his old crew once he realized that Stonebanks was still alive. The reason is that Stonebanks nearly killed Caesar and that brought back memories of what happened when he first tried to kill Stonebanks and lost 3 of his original crew. Barney was compelled to find and kill Stonebanks, but he didn't want to risk the lives of his current crew because they were his family. So Barney contacted Bonaparte to help him round up some "young guns" who weren't afraid to die because this crew would have no attachment to Barney, nor would he have any attachment to them. So if any of them died, it would be easier to take. However, once Barney's new team is captured by Stonebanks, Barney couldn't let them die at his hands. First off, this would mean Stonebanks wins, which Barney couldn't allow, and two because Barney actually *does* care and just because he was willing to risk his life and theirs, doesn't mean he's willing to allow them to be slaughtered.
