I've never seen #4, I've never heard of anybody seeing #4 - at least, nobody
has ever described it in a way that distinguishes it from #1.  In fact, I'm
reasonably certain that all instances of #4 being shown are actually #1s.

>Also, in the list you give, you mention for each one "Starts & ends with

Nothing, but it's an easy way to identify the Euro version without having to
watch it carefully.

Another difference off the top of my head - #2 is the only cut that has Sam
saying "my god, it works!" after being shown his mother with her head saran
wrapped (first scene at the plastic surgeon).
