The Top Ten Changes Made for the Re-release of E.T. :
10) Peter Coyote replaced by Freddie Prinze, Jr. Dee Wallace Stone replaced by Sarah Michelle Gellar. Young Drew Barrymore replaced by current Drew Barrymore.
9) In order to attract the teens, a scene has been added of E.T. humping a pie.
8 ) E.T. gets into a bar fight with Jar Jar Binks.
7) Throughout the re-release version E.T. repeats his new catch phrase, "Whasssssup?!"
6) The famous bike-riding scene has been altered to Elliot and E.T. speeding off in a tricked out car a la The Fast and the Furious .
5) Original government agents trying to capture E.T. were changed to Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in a smooth Men In Black II tie-in.
4) Reeses Pieces. are out. Low-fat Gummi Bears are in.
3) Lots of shots of E.T. getting dressed and nude sunbathing a la Halle Berry in Swordfish .
2) In yet another attempt to make the movie more teen-friendly, the end of the movie has been changed to E.T. finally deciding who he really wants to go to the senior prom with.
1) E.T. sees dead people.
Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
