The other day, Universal's publicity chief faxed over an excerpt of a 1995 interview in which Spielberg said, "I regret that a gun was used as a threat to stop children on bicycles. And I regret that last cut, before E.T. opens his eyes and the bikes take off, of the gun coming up.... And if I ever reissue the picture, I'll use the digital miracle of, you know, CGI [computer-generated imagery] to take the guns out of the cops' hands. And I'll just simply delete the shot of the cop holding the gun up, which, in the current film, causes E.T. to fly. I think those were, you know, distasteful moments to me."
