Brokeback fans have to be content with only glimpses of a number of scenes which were filmed but not included in the film; neither were they included in any of the DVD releases.

The deleted hippie scene was not included in any of the DVD extras.

The now-deleted hippie scene was supposed to indicate the heroic nature of Jack and Ennis. 

[Toast]

Jack and Ennis ride off, leaving the hippies they have  joyed by saving them from the swollen creek.




EXT: BIG HORN MOUNTAINS, WYOMING: CREEK: DAY: A FEW MINUTES LATER: 1973:
 
The man and the women are unpacking a picnic.

                    HIPPIE
          Hey, break bread with us, western heroes.
 
                    ENNIS
          Thanks, but we gotta make camp by
          sundown.
 
                    GIRL 1
          You sure? (seductive) We love to share.
 
                    HIPPIE
          They do man. I'm cool with it.
 
                    GIRL 1
          Whaddya think?
 
                    ENNIS
          I suppose not. We'd best be going.
 
                    GIRL 2
          You don't have to be hung up around us.
 
                    JACK
          Thanks, but Ennis here, he's just pretty
          well hung up.
 
Ennis shoots Jack a glance.

                    JACK  ( CONT ' D)
          But you all take care now.

Later: Jack and Ennis ride off, the hippies in the
background.
 
 
                    JACK
          Hell, I guess I could a been a hippie, if
          I'd had more education.
 

                    ENNIS
          I don't like damn hippies. Un-American if
          you ask me.
 
                    JACK
          Yeah, you're pretty square, aren't you?
          If they only knew just how square you
          are!
   
They both laugh.

Thanks.

Leaving out the hippie scene deprived us of a number of nuggets of humor, rare things in Brokeback Mountain.

EXT: BIG HORN MOUNTAINS, WYOMING: DAY: CONTINUOUS: 1973:

ENNIS and JACK see a brightly painted VW bus going along a narrow little mountain road.

                    ENNIS
          If it's a hippie, we ought to scalp him.

Up ahead of the bus, they see a creek, swollen from runoff. But the bus doesn't slow....

                    JACK
          Can't that fool see the creek's in flood?
 
                    ENNIS
          Probably high on drugs. May not have even
          noticed that creek, music's too loud.
 
...and the bus, music blaring, heads right into the water. Makes it halfway across...stops, water at window-height. Yells are heard.
 
ENNIS and JACK lope down the ridge.

                    JACK
              (drawing rein)
          Hell, better go down and see what's what.
 
                    ENNIS
          See if you can get a rope on the bumper.
          I'll offload who I can.
 
The horses are none too keen to go into the water...but ENNIS and JACK insist, spur them in.
 
JACK gets to the rear of the bus--when he bends over to hook his rope through the bumper, his hat falls off and floats away.
 
ENNIS expertly gets his horse alongside the bus, looks inside to see a bearded, beaded Dead-head at the wheel, and two beautiful hippie coeds giggling, crowded together in the front seat.
 
                    HIPPIE
          Guess I overestimated the power of the
          bug, man!
 
Ennis holds out his arms.

                    ENNIS
          Come on now, "through the window, girls
          first...I can take the two of you
          together.
 
The girls giggle at Ennis's unintended double-entendre.

                    GIRL 1
          Thanks, man!
 
As she pushes her way out of through the window, we see her braless profile fall into Ennis's arms.

Ennis ferries the girls back to shore, heads back to the van.

JACK, frustrated, rides back to shore, takes off his boots and wades back in with the rope, manages to get it over the bumper.
 
ENNIS goes over to help JACK, who is wading out.

                    JACK
              (annoyed)
          My hat's probably to Laramie by now.
 

                    ENNIS
              (smiles)
          Top hands ain't supposed to love their
          hats.

JACK ignores this.

ENNIS rides around to the driver's side of the VW bus.

                    ENNIS
          You might want to make sure you're in
          reverse, mister.
 
The MAN gives ENNIS the peace sign.

                    HIPPIE
              (sense of humour)
          Sure, partner.

During part of the deleted hippie scene, Ennis was off-loading passengers from a VW bus stuck in creek water.

Excellent photos!!!  I haven't seen those before.
