One deleted scene in [Driven](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132245/combined) shows a bit of Tanto’s (Stallone) daily routine before he gets the call to get back behind the wheel. The whole thing is very reminicient of the opening of [Firefox](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083943/combined) in which we see Eastwood’s character being recruited to get back in the cockpit. ---

> [@Mississippienne](#): > > The anime _Berserk_ has some truly classic outtakes from the American dubbing. It’s especially funny as the anime itself is a very grim series about mercenaries, and then the outtakes are completely zany and silly. Stuff like Griffith’s voice actor randomly bursting into song (including stirring renditions of “I Will Always Love You”, Metallica’s “One”, and the Little Mermaid’s “Part of Your World”). Or the narrator starts arguing with the director and declaring, “Who is Jon? I am the voice of God hovering above!” and in the background you hear the director calling for security. Or a tender moment between two characters, when the voice actor goes off script and starts saying, “My love for you… is like a big truck. Berserker. Would you like some making fuck, BERZERKER!” I love those outtakes! Especially the ‘na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Batman!’ on the last DVD. ---

_A Bug’s Life_ had clever “outtakes”. ---

In **Fight Club** , Helena Bonham Carter is just finished having sex with Brad Pitt. She screams: “I want to have your abortion.” A great line in of itself. Apparently, the censors were distressed with it, and wanted Fincher to change it. Fincher, the artist he is, eventually relented to the studio’s request, against his better judgement. In the outtakes, HBC now says, "I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school."The studio begged for reinstatement of the original line. 😛 ---

The line left in was the “grade school” comment. The alternate unused scene is the "abortion"comment. I love outtakes from any Jackie Chan movie. That guy is amazing. I also liked the karaoke scene at the end of Shrek. ---

Volume 1 of Princess Tutu has some great outtakes from the English dub. One involves the voice actor for Duck quacking into her line, then when the duck on the screen stops running around, “God bless America.” A second one between the female leads–“Are you looking for something?” “Yeah, I need your boyfriend.” (Actually what she’s looking for, but not the proper line :)) But my favorite one makes fun of the pseudo-romanticism between two of the male characters. I’ll just quote it rather than explain. “Princess Tutu. She touched me.” “The same place I touched you? That bitch.” ---

> [@Ghanima](#): > > You got that backwards. The line left in was the “grade school” comment. The alternate unused scene is the "abortion"comment. What makes this even funnier is that Helena Bonham-Carter didn’t get the joke at all - she’s British and had no idea what “grade school” meant. She says on the commentary that she assumed it was high school, and it wasn’t til she heard people laughing at the line that she thought to ask. As hinted at earlier, the deleted scenes from _Best in Show_ are hilaaaarious. As unhinted at earlier, so are the deleted scenes from _Dodgeball_. ---

_The Terminator_ DVD has a deleted scene I really like. I can understand why it was taken out – the movie is an action movie with a relentless pace, and the scene would have brought it to a halt. But it’s a good scene, and pure traditional science fiction. In it, Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese, out in the California countryside, have an argument about what to do which is based on two different concepts of time travel. Reese believes that the future is set in stone, and all they can do is try to ensure that Sarah survives to be the mother of John Connor. Sarah, on the other hand, believes that if it’s necessary for them to prevent the Terminator from changing history, that means they can change history on their own and keep the nuclear war from happening by preventing the construction of Skynet. This reflects a theme explored in tons of science fiction stories since the '40s, and one that (if you forget about all the overblown action sequences for a moment) dominates the trilogy of _Terminator_ movies. Also in the scene, Reese becomes overwhelmed by his surroundings: grass, flowers, a flowing stream, clear blue sky – all things he never saw growing up in the nightmarish post-apocalpytic world of the future. He starts crying, and says, “This is too beautiful. I’m not supposed to see this.” Actually quite touching. ---

“Love, Actually” had a number of very good outtakes. Unfortunately, in a movie that long, something (in this case, a lot of somethings) had to go. My favorite deleted portion involved Liam Neeson as a new widower with a young stepson. He’s surfing the internet for porn, and finds that his screen is frozen up, while filled with obscene images he can’t get rid of. At that moment, his stepson’s grandfather stops by for a visit, eager to show Liam a new golf site he’s found on the web. Grandpa immediately goes to Liam’s computer and sees all the obscene stuff. Liam pretends to be shocked, and runs to his stepson saying, “I’ll give you 100 pounds, if you’ll just agree to everything I say.” The kid takes the rap for looking at the dirty web sites… and whereas Grandpa would’ve been furious at Liam, he takes a relaxed, “Well, boys will be boys” attitude when he’s convinced his young grandson was the lecher! ---

Not sure if this counts, but Tenacious D’s DVD has some great stuff on their “on the road” documentary. The scene with Lee doing the XXX rated version of “9 to 5” had me rolling. ---

> [@Tuckerfan](#): > > In _Waiting for Guffman_, there’s a deleted scene which is funnier than anything in the film. They’re doing the auditions for the play, and this one gal comes in and does this whole routine about getting revenge on the brother who molested her as a child. At one point, she’s just screaming, “Who’s on top and who’s on bottom now, Billy?” I always thought she was doing a scene from Flowers in the Attic. From one of the novels not from the movie version which is infinitely funnier. My favorite cut scene from Best in Show is the one where Guest as Harlan Pepper is showing the camera his other hobby and he opens a door to a large barn and beachballs spill out. There’s this moment where it looks clearly that Guest as an actor didn’t know what would be behind the door and is surprised and then continues and explains why he has a beachball collection. I always assumed they (Guest and Levy) came up with that bit and Guest told Levy to surprise him. ---

For the best outtakes and bloopers, you have to go way back- any Burt Reynolds film from the late 70’s and 80’s will have you laughing your ass off! Burt & company were just hilarious people who couldn’t help but crack each other up. He & DeLuise could go all day without getting a usable scene shot… Also, my favorite part of a Jackie Chan movie is always the outtakes they run over the credits. Hysterical.
