So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993)
Plot summary
Directed by: Thomas Schlamme
Starring: Mike Myers, Anthony LaPaglia, Nancy Travis, Amanda Plummer
Charlie, a commitment-phobic beat poet, meets a lovely woman butcher named Harriet. He falls for her, but due to some strange coincidences from her life and a tabloid story, he believes her to be an infamous axe-murderer. After realizing he loves her and doesn't want to throw away this chance, he marries her anyway, but can't shake the question of is she the murderer?
Charlie Mackenzie: Woman... woe-man... whoooa-man. She was a thief, you gotta believe, she stole my heart and my cat. Betty, Judy, Josie and those hot Pussycats... they make me horny, Saturday morny... girls of cartoo-ins will leave me in ruins... I want to to be Betty's Barney. Hey Jane... get me off this crazy thing... called love.





Answer: The version without the axe is the original version. It was a later version that "shopped" in the weapon, presumably to even up the picture and mirror the fact that Charlie has something behind his back. Technically, the axe version doesn't even make sense since Harriet is not, in fact, an axe murderer.
