He inserted scenes that explained his take on a lot of the film's mysteries, which had been much more ambiguous and fungible for theatrical audiences. Of course, this is Kelly's film, and in his mind Donnie Darko followed a very specific plot thread that could be explained, especially if you explored the film's supplemental materials, many of which were included on the film's website and original DVD.
But crowbarring it into his director's cut made for a lesser movie. Michael Mann's adaptation of his own TV series got a very mixed reception in theaters, but it certainly had its fans, especially among critics. The film version dropped you in the middle of a tense scene as Crockett and Tubbs tried to deal with a panicking CI; the DVD director's cut opened with an interminable boat race in an attempt to clear up plot details.
But Miami Vice was not a film that lived on plot details. Its success was in atmosphere, and much like Richard Kelly, Mann made the confusing choice to sub out some excellent musical cues with some terrible ones, like Nonpoint's horrendous cover of "In the Air Tonight" for the climactic action scene.

Also, the line from Frank in the cinema, "I am so sorry", seems to be missing from the director's cut.
