I think there's so many versions of this film that Raimi isn't totally sure or even cares, what the definitive version is. It's clear that Bruce Campbell prefers the Director's Cut, I wonder about Raimi, though.Well since they both refused to do a commentary track for anything except the DC, and in the commentary both Raimi & Bruce say that "This is the original cut, the cut we wanted." I guess they both approve of the DC. The only part in the commentary that stands out to me where they preferred the Theatrical Cut was the "I ain't that nice/Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun." alternate lines. I'm sure there are other examples but that is the only one that stands out in my memory.
