DVD w/deleted footage
slayers_creek_oth:
I'll just settle for any deleted scenes...
cmr107:
I think I'd rather have deleted scenes be separate from the movie. Have they ever done that before, released a second edition with deleted scenes put back in where they were supposed to go? I've never heard of that, but I don't know nearly as much about movies as some people here....
David:
I think what has happened in the past is that a long movie gets chopped up to be shown on Television. Then after many years, the shorter version is the only one remembered and sometimes put on VHS or DVD. Then they'll rediscover the longer theatrical version. The movie The Abyss was like this. So was the classic comedy "Its a Mad mad mad mad World". They found 20 extra minutes of lost footage and put it in the original and re-released the movie on DVD.

Same thing with "A Star is Born" with Judy Garland. Apparently that had some sort of botch editing job and the director was furious (for years). Then, sometime much later (like the 25th anniversary edition) they actually did a whole big restore--found missing scenes and put them back in. There are some parts where they could only find the audio, not the actual movie, so they added that in--it just holds on a picture and you hear the talking. The movie makes more sense with the added parts restored.
"Holiday Inn" with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby has a blackface number for Lincoln's Birthday. I watched that movie for years on TV and never saw that scene...and then I bought the video and there was a scene I had never seen before.
"Sunset Boulevard" was supposed to have a different beginning--the Joe Gillis character (William Holden) is in the morgue, talking with the other bodies in the morgue about what happened to him. Audiences hated this scene in the test screening and they changed it to what is there now. There is a fragment (just a few minutes, not the whole scene, which was 10 minutes long) on DVD of the morgue scene.

You just know there is so much more we haven't seen yet..
Like this scene deleted from a camping trip. Notice the BetterMost brand bean cans!
Or how about another view of Jacks arrival for the reunion kiss?
