There Has Been A Change In The Matrix!

A few years back, I labored briefly under the misapprehension that Erik Estrada was a midget.

It turns out, I was mistaken.

Abe Vigoda is my favorite example.

This is the best website on the internets, hands down.

I could have sworn when I saw Wayne’s World in the theater years ago, there was a scene right after Bohemian Rhapsody finishes where the guys are crying and saying “That was so beautiful.” I’ve seen the movie at least a dozen times since then on VHS and TV and it’s nowhere to be seen. So was I just imagining it, am I thinking of another movie or was it really in there at one point?

Speaking of Gene Wilder and deleted scenes, I still haven’t seen the deleted scene from Young Frankenstein. It’s not among the deleted scenes on the DVD, but many people have sworn to me that they have seen it, including my wife.

It’s at the theater, just before Wilder as Frankenstein goes onstage to introduce the Monster. He’s standing there with Marty Feldman as Igor, who is conspicuously lacking his characteristic hump.

Frankenstein: Where’s your…where’s your hump?
Igor: (haughtily) NEVER with a tux!

here you go…

I bet you were thinking of filmmaker Billy Wilderwho did die in 2002.

from gonzoron’s link:

Feldman especially shines in these scenes. In the scene where Frankenstein is presenting the creature, he comes out dressed in a cutaway tuxedo to give him a showbiz pep talk. “Where’s your hump?” the doctor asks. Igor responds in a snooty accent: “Never with tails.”

This was buried down deep – I wish you’d have quoted it.
It’s a relief to see corroboration, at long last. Why the hell wasn’t this among the deleted scenes on the DVD release?

Despite the fact that he’s on my death pool list, I’m glad Gene is still kicking and I hope he sticks around a long, happy time. One of my very favorite celebrities.

At his age, he really ought to stop playing football: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1Sv_z9jm8A

I had the same experience as the OP a few months ago when I discovered that Gene Wilder was still alive.

The one I always think is dead now is Mickey Rooney.

Sorry 'bout that… was in a hurry at the time.

I don’t think you are crazy. I think that footage was in the video for “Bohemian Rhapsody” that came out the same time as the movie.

Wait…Gene Wilder’s alive? Hallelujah!

No, really, I thought he had died too. Weird!

[Little_Nemo]

I knew Wilder, Vigoda, and Rooney were alive.

But just last week I posted a reference to Ben Gazzara and made it in the past tense because I thought he was dead. He’s not and I was able to fix it before the edit window closed.

I remember this scene as well from TV broadcast.

I also remember the other ending to Big, where the girlfriend becomes young and is introduced to his class as a new student. Again, TV broadcast or some weird VHS.

That was filmed yes, and may be on some DVD versions.
