The first time I saw the Matrix, it was a pirated copy that was a final cut except it was missing all of the licensed music tracks. So all the dialog, foley, and even the original orchestral soundtrack were in place, but none of the tracks licensed from other artists/bands. This meant the nightclub at the beginning was a bunch of people dancing to nothing, and the lobby shootout was just gunshots and shattering concrete, and the end was just the sound of Neo flying into the sky. Does anyone still have a copy of this anywhere? I always assumed it was some kind of internal leak. The video quality was garbage, but I've love to see this cut again, see what holds up and what is worse.

I vaguely also remember walking past somewhere where that club scene was playing on a TV or computer screen. Recognized it later when I saw the movie.

(Is it Dragula on the actual soundtrack there?)
