 Bronson the Outfit boss is played by Sally Kellerman rather than Kris   Kristoffersen. Shes never seen in the film, instead interacting with Porter   over speakerphones. When Porter begins to kill her associates, the boss   almost immediately gives in to Porters demands. In Mels cut, the boss was   a bigger character and provided a bigger climax. All the bosss son and   torture scenes are not in Brians cut of the movie.
