Unfortunately, the unedited version is actually edited from the master cut. You can see where the overdubs were..... if you read lips, the overdubs were terrible. The original cut was 2 hours and obviously had seriously more cussing (where Junior says "That's a good idea" and Sheriff Justice says "What the hell do you know", it's actually "What the fu-k do you know?" and the overdub is a different person.... very different). After the first couple of months, Universal did a re-edit, cut out Bandit banging Frog and some other chase scenes, and overdubed the worst of the cussing to get a PG rating from it's original R and thus a broader audience. Those who saw the original say it's even more fun and exciting. That original cut has been sitting in Universals vaults for 26 years and it's about time it was remastered for 5.1. The current disc is only 2.0 mono.
