The pie fight from Dr Strangelove.
There’s a shot in the trailers for Dirty rotten Scoundrels. Caine & Martin are walking past a harbour, there’s a woman standing at the edge looking into the water, one of them pushes her into the water. It’s not in the final film. I’d love to see it in context.
There is supposedly an ultra-violent ending to *Desperado *that I’d love to see. As it stands, the resolution to the big confrontation is a slow-motion gun draw that fades to black as shots are fired. Supposedly a blood-soaked gunfight that immediately follows was filmed, but to my knowledge has never been released.
EZ
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me stands out in my mind as the most egregious victim of heavy cutting during the final editing stage. There’s supposed to be an hour and a half worth of deleted scenes that may or may not be released on a “special edition” of it at some point in the future.
Not that I’m a big Kevin Costner fan or anything, but I would be curious to see his deleted scene(s) from The Big Chill.
I remember seeing the commercial for Real Genius, which had Val Kilmer bobbing up and down outside a window. The jerk professor barks, “Knight! What are you doing out there?” Chris Knight responds with “Floating, sir.”
It never appeared in the theatrical release.
That scene was the main reason I originally wanted to see that movie.
It would be great to be able to see all the scenes in which Eric Stoltz played Marty McFly in Back to the Future. The recasting was done after quite a lot of footage was in the can. You can see still-shots on the Web, but I’d love to see the actual film with Stoltz.
Scroll down a little for more on this movie.
Scene? How about an entire movie? The 1994 “non”-release of The Fantastic Four with Roger Corman as a Executive Producer. There’s a facinating story about this movie in a recent issue of Los Angeles Magazine (it’s not online as far as I can tell). It was made with no intention of it ever being released, but the cast and crew were never let on abou that, they even went on promotional tours. Supposedly it is circulating as a bootleg, but it has never been and probably never will be officially released.
I don’t think you can attend a sci-fi convention and not find a copy of the Fantastic Four bootleg.
There’s a different ending to Big that I was beginning to think I had imagined, where after Tom Hanks goes back to being a kid, a new girl shows up in his class and we’re meant to infer that it’s Elizabeth Perkins’ character, who chose to be young again. I saw it on cable once a long time ago but never since, and no one else I knew had seen it. IMDB now lists it as an alternate ending, so I can stop doubting my sanity (at least on this).
I have a copy. It’s bad. Not Manos bad, but it ain’t good.
Especially the “special” effects showing Sue Storm turning “invisible”.
I’d like to see the scene showing what happens to Gimli and Legolas after Return of the King. There’s a clip of it in one of the interviews on the extended edition, so I know it’s there somewhere. . .
That was the first thing I start about, too. I love that movie.
James Cameron is re-releasing the DVD for Titanic with more than an hour of deleted scenes. I’d like to see it strictly for the Isidor & Ira Strauss scenes.
I knew about the missing scene from the play 1776 but had no idea that there was a song in it. I’d love to hear that as well.
This info implies the scene in question was shot solely for the trailer and was never intended to be put in the film. This is also what I seem to remember hearing about that scene at the time (I guess this is or was unusual in the movie biz, shooting a scene only for the trailer?)
Really? I thought there’d been a thread on this awhile back in which it turned out that another movie with a similar plot (kid-into-adult and back) actually had that ending.
Anyway…the “kiss scene” from the Scooby Doo movie. You know the one.
IMDB is put together by people off the street who may know less than you, so the fact that it’s listed there doesn’t mean for sure that it really happened (unless the listing gives some other source that is reliable and confirmable).
It’s conceivable that ending showed up somewhere, but that’s also the ending for a Disney made-for-TV movie that basically had the same plot as Big, so it’s conceivable you’ve confused the two.
I’d like to see the Jitterbug scene from Wizard of Oz.
Someone on the set of The Wizard of Oz shot a performance of “The Jitterbug” on 16mm color film. It was matched with the soundtrack recording of the song on the DVD special edition of Wizard. It was interesting because it was shot from behind the talking-moving crabapple trees, and you can see the stagehands inside the trunks operating the movement.
