With Star Trek, they have done the reverse; The Motion Picture still cannot be purchased individually (in U.S.) while the others can. That's really stupid.

Yeah, this is likely to be a rough wait. I don't see the street price on the set dropping to 'eh, what the hell, the first one is worth that' levels for a while either.

But who knows. In the words of the immortal Denny Crane "Hope springs a kernel".

Amen to that...I will buy all three if I am forced to but will wait until a Back to the Future type sale.

I saw it in 82 I guess it was. I remember seeing ET and ROTJ too. A great era for movies, before the dark times.... Before the internet

I saw it in 95 at a kids club saturday moring screening of all things lol I was the oldest in there by 10 years

About to watch Kingdom now (completing my Indy marathon), just remembered that it has Dolby TrueHD. I think the audio for the new anthololy will be DTS-HD MA 6.1 just like Star Wars, so there might be new pressing for Kingdom with new audio.

Shyamalan's problem is because of the Sixth Sense, there's almost always a twist at the end of his films.

None of his movies after The Village really had a twist at the end. Or did they? I can't even remember.

[Saints 2010]

Can't wait. DVDs have had a workout and would love to see it on Blu.

The Twist in his next movie will be that it's good.

Doubtful. Spielberg rarely includes them. And they certainly won't be put back into the film.

Spielberg DVD/Laserdisc/Blu Titles with Deleted Scenes:


I perssonally think Spielberg and Lucas hold off on deleted scenes so they can use them later to re-sell their films on home video. Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 1941, and E.T. all had substantial deleted scenes on previous home video releases, but this was only after several home video re-issues.

To keep this on thread-topic, there are deleted scenes from Temple of Doom I would love to see - most notably, the scene where "Slave Short Round" witnesses a Thugee Guard burned by lava, and the guard snaps out of his "Kali Ma" trance and tries to help the children around him. This explains how Short Round knows to burns Indy with the torch a few scene later.

Another scene I'd like to see - in Raiders, Indiana is specifically warned by the Shaman not to look at the contents of the Ark. The audio for the scene was even included on the LP/cassette kid's book and record set (and used to be floating around on the internet). It explains how Indiana knows not to look at the power of the Ark.

Maybe the most illustrative deleted scene from a Spielberg film was on the Jurassic Park "making of" laserdisc, which featured the original animatics for the T-Rex attack on the stalled Jeeps. As many have noticed, the T-Rex pen disappears in the movie - Grant and Lex repel down the side of the enclosure, when the T-Rex walked right out of that exact same area moments before.

Well, the animatics (and the storyboards, which I own) show what happened. The T-Rex was supposed to grab the flipped jeep with its jaws like a dog tugging on a piece of rope, and drag the Jeep down the road to feed on it (and whatever's inside it). The never finished those shots. You'll also see pieces of the fence "bending themselves" before the T-Rex escapes in the film, because the planned shots of the T-Rex were never finished. Spielberg was in Poland shooting Schindler's List while Jurassic Park was in post. He asked George Lucas to oversee post production for him while he away (he reviewed work via satellite uplink at night), but while Jurassic Park set the world on fire in terms of visual f/x, the heavy crunch of the production schedule and the new techniques clearly shows in the final production.

There are other known important deleted scenes in Spielberg films - perhaps the most sought after is the card game for the life of Helen Hirsch played between Oskar Schindler and Amon Goeth in Schindler's List. Liam Neeson is on record stating he personally missed the scene in the film, because he loved how Spielberg shot it, and it's the last moment the two characters would have shared on screen -- Neeson also said in the scene you finally saw how repulsed Oskar had become by Amon. The scene was cut for time.

Another scene Schindler's List, from late in the film, showed a train pulling into Schindler's 'Haven' factory in Brinlitz at night. The scene takes place after the Auschwitz salvation sequence, and in it, Oskar is horrified to discover all the prisoners on that train had frozen to death inside their cars.

Deleted scenes from the Jurassic Park: The Lost World include a bar fight giving backstory to Postlewaithe's master hunter character, and an InGen Corporate Board meeting (shown on network FOX airings cleaned up and interpolated into the movie, while the DVD only runs them in an unfinished fashion)

Scenes had to be cut from Amistad prior to release to stave off a plagiarism lawsuit against Debbie Allen and the production. Don't have much info about these scenes, sadly...

After that, I'm drawing a blank. And now I have to go do the dishes.

Best,

ER3

Great info! I really love when studios decide to add deleted/extended scenes in the form of extras!
About that Temple of Doom scene, I can't be sure but didn't Shortround see the "evil child price" get burned and snap out of the hypnosis, thusly knowing to burn Indy later on?
Like some of the other posters in this thread I may have to do a trilogy marathon, as I have not watched them in awhile.

Other way around - Short Round burned the young Maharajha (sp?) after Indiana had "snapped out of it" when Short Round burned Indy. But Short Round knew to burn Indy because Shorty saw a guard receive burns and "snap out of it", therefore inspiring Shorty to use the trick on Indy.

Too many proper nouns!

Does anyone remember the Last Crusade videogame? It was in the style of Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders and Maniac Mansion by LucasArts.

I remember there was a bit in that when Indy pulls the wires out of the Zeppelin's radio, he even mentions it later to Henry Jones Sr. when the Zeppelin turns around (in the film).

[Torgon]

I had that game for my Atari ST. Great game!

Do I ever. I played the hell out of that game before I ever saw any of the movies. One of my favorite games as a kid.

Knowing Spielberg he won't mess anything up and I'm very unwilling to pay $100 for this. For a reasonable price I would. That's three more from Spielbergs filmography!

Is it confirmed to be a trilogy set? I had no idea it was. Either way, I'll be willing to pay at least $70 for it with or without Crystal Skull.

In War of the Worlds there was a scene at dusk where the family hide from several alien machines in a suburb. Screwy thing about this scene was that the ILM VFX was *complete* and they still declined to include it on the DVD or Blu-ray as a deleted scene!
