In the original version, I believe there were only two flashes. In the director's cut, there were about five or six flashes, but I thought that I had forgotten about them or didn't notice them the first time. However, when the face appeared on the kitchen cabinet door, I snickered. One too many. But the rest of the audience gasped. It's always nice seeing The Exorcist with newbies. The nervous laughter. The eyes peeking between the fingers. Great movie. Great time.

P.S. Those early medical scenes sure set the queasy tone high for the possession scenes later. And the sound for the movie was fantastic.
