Major is shown smiling at him, implying that he is complicit in  Marcos desertion. Also in the network showing: A fierce desert battle  between a legion column and Arab raiders. The entire battle is deleted from  the original release. The column is led by the mean Lieutenant. In one scene,  the mean Lieutenant is shown placing a pistol to his head and committing  suicide. The scene does not appear in the original release. In addition, in  the original release, the footage of the mean Lieutenant firing his pistol  during the columns battle with raiders, is edited into the final battle  scene at the archaological dig. The effect is quite jarring, as he has not  been present for about a third of the film.
