CONDOR still holds up well as a film, IMO. That is a truly stupid edit for someone to try and pull off.
This has been going on for years. A lot of people collecting movies for their personal collection will sometimes buy the vhs version because later versions were sanitized or the music changed because licensing agreements didn’t cover dvd versions (for example, Willy Nelson sings the opening song in the original movie and on the vhs version of “The Electric Horseman,” but an unnamed singer sings it on the dvd release).
For such a top notch captivating movie it sure deserved a better ending. It’s like watching a perfect game in bowling and the very last toss goes in the guttter. I still can’t fathom how that could of happened.

FWIW Somewhere along the line they lost 3 days. Three Days of the Condor was based on the book Six Days of the Condor.
