Both films occasioned major disputes between Bogdanovich, who still demanded a measure of control over his films, and the studios, which controlled the financing and final cut of both films. "Mask" was released with a song score by Bob Seger against Bogdanovich's wishes (he favored Bruce Springsteen), and Bogdanovich has often complained that the version of "Texasville" that was released was not the film he had intended. A director's cut of "Mask", slightly longer and with Springsteen's songs, was belatedly released on DVD in 2006. A director's cut of "Texasville" was released on LaserDisc, and the theatrical cut was released on DVD by MGM in 2005. Around the time of the release of "Texasville", Bogdanovich also revisited his earliest success, "The Last Picture Show", and produced a slightly modified director's cut. Since that time, his recut has been the only available version of the film.
