 IN US TV versions, several of the death scenes are edited and cut for  content. This includes the death of Russel Franklin (Samuel L. Jackson) and  Tom "Scoggs" Scoggins (Michael Rapaport). In the original theatrical and DVD  versions, their deaths are more gruesome and last a few seconds longer, with  the sharks actually tearing and mutilating their bodies. Scoggs body, for  instance, is torn apart into several pieces, with blood and gore splattering  everywhere. Most American TV versions show the characters being attacked by  the sharks and then cut to the scene
