For the people who don’t like it, I can say, ‘f*** you!’”

Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet watched a 35mm print of the film: “I was a little bit concerned to watch my film – maybe I won’t like it?” he says. “No, it was great! I have a lot of shots that I love. For the people who don’t like it, I can say, ‘f*** you!’”

I wish that he had said, "Pardon my French" afterwards. ;)
 
It was definitely the Theatrical Cut, as the Assembly Cut isn't on Disney+.

The Alien 3 Assembly Cut is one of the rare instances in all of film where an alternate version / edit ends up being a significant upgrade. For me, it elevates the film from one of the worst (theatrical cut) to right up there near Alien 1 and 2.

It’s really a fascinating movie.
 
Mileage varies of course, but for my money it's not so rare. Just so long as you discount all those awful "Unrated Cut!" releases that were so popular for a time.
I guess there are some other good examples. Off the top of my head, even the "Aliens" Director's Cut was better than the theatrical, especially given that it advanced Ripley's character as a "surrogate mother" to Newt via the news of her daughter's death.

The TMP Directors Edition, also a good example.
