When Eric wheels after the aliens heading back into the shopping mall, a police officer tries to grab him and falls over. This causes his gun to discharge a bullet, striking Eric through the chest and killing him instantly. This explains why Eric is suddenly motionless when the building explodes. In all other versions, it's implied he died from the explosion. There are also some other minor color tinting and editing differences.

Featured review
What were the people that invested money in this movie thinking about when they aproved this stinking piece of... It's shameless, the way they used the kid, and the alien to reformulate whit camouflage the ET formula. It's really disgusting to see that when many people are dying of starvation around the world there are people spending money with movies that revolve around aliens that drink Coke and go to Mc Donald's and that exist movies that are sponsored by multinacional companies that create a diversion to their money just for fun, extending the ET effect far beyond the limits of the reasonable. Kill this piece of excrement!!! I was ashamed to watch this movie, and the channel which spent money broadcasting should be ashamed. Mac and Me... it even rimes with ET!!! And that whistling bit... how ridiculous!
