Deleted Scene Pet Peeve!

[jsteinhauer]

While not exclusive to BD movies, this has come up in Dan in Real Life and The Invisible. I hate it when you are watching deleted scenes and you see scenes that were in the original trailer for the movie and then were taken out. If you recall the Dan in Real Life trailer, Dan is letting his daughter drive, and is calling out mixed orders from the shotgun seat, causing her to nearly crash a school bus and several other vehicles. This scene was not in the movie. If you see the movie, you will understand how this might interrupt the pace and alter the significance of later interactions with the daughter regading driving, but it should have been left out of the trailer. It was a funny scene that would mislead you into thinking there was more slapstick type comedy in this movie. If you recall The Invisible trailer, there is a scene where the main character sees a scary old man in the hospital (it was the creepiest scene in the trailer). That scene did not make it into the movie, either. There was absolutely nothing creepy about the movie otherwise, but the trailer would have fooled you.

Trailers are usually put together way ahead of the movie's final cut.

This happens with alot of movies. Hell, there's a small glimpse of the deleted 'Wampa Attack' scene from one of the early Empire Strikes Back trailers. You see C-3PO rip the 'Danger' sign off one of the doors in the Hoth Base while heading for the Millenium Falcon. Which is why he's so late getting there in the film. Which would have led to the Snowtroopers opening the door and getting slaughted by the Wampas that were trapped inside.

What makes you think that?

my only pet peeve is promotional posters or covers that show a scene that was never filmed. I remember when they were promoting Hannibal, it had a picture of Hopkins standing behind Moore with a carving knife at a dinner table. Just seems really tacky and out of place.

[liddybuck01]

i hate that too. but i also hate is when you're watching a deleted scene and all but a line or two is in the movie! such a waste of time.

Disney does this a lot. Look at Ratatouille and Enchanted. Talk about including everything.

My pet peeve with deleted scenes is that they're almost always never mastered to HD.

Jurassic Park did the same thing, the trailer includes a deleted scene and Spielberg didn't even bother putting it in the DVD release for you to be able to see the entire scene.

Remember that in Spider-Man, one trailer, at least, featured him capturing that helicopter in his webs, between the Twin Trade Center towers? Of course, after 9/11, that sequence was not included in the finished film.

Some might have seen it as insensitive to include that scene. Others might have seen the inclusion of that sequence as honoring the victims. I have also read somewhere long ago that they really had no intention of using that sequence in the final film anyway.

At this point, I don't know what the truth is.

I don't post often, but there is no way they would have considered putting the WTC scene back into Spider-Man. They did the right thing by not putting it in, but I also am of the mind that this sequence was never meant to be in the movie - just good teaser trailer fodder to build awareness of the then-forthcoming movie.

[Beast]

You're right, it was never intended for the movie. It was only ever meant to be a teaser trailer.

Spiderman was originally going to have most of the shots filmed around the World Trade Center towers and the scene with the helicopter was going to be in the movie but after 9/11 they stopped production of the movie to re-write the script to take out the twin towers to end up with what we have now and that is why the film was pushed back from its original release date.

The worst example of this was on Talladega nights where they are in the bathroom and will ferrell says "Yep, it's the real deal down there!" That was a funny scene on the trailer, but not the movie

didnt hopkins and moore share that scene with ray liotta brain???

[katharsis]

I got another one... In the trailer for Shooter there is a scene where a private jet just took off and you see someone looking at it, then pressing a button on a remote detonator and it explodes! Never made into the final cut of the film!!

Not being able to insert them back into the movie or T.V. show where they would have originally been.

Two good examples I can think of for me are 28 Weeks Later and Happy Gilmore.

28 Weeks Later never had the scene from the trailer where Jeremy Renner's character winks at the kids while he is pushing the car just before he dies. Thought that was a nice touch in the trailer and waited for it to happen in while watching it in theaters. Never happened.

Happy Gilmore I had watched on tv for various years. One of my favorite scenes is Ben Stiller's character getting thrown out the window by Sandler. But of course when I rented the DVD the time for that scene came and went. After the movie was done I thought to myself "did I skip a scene by accident?". Nope because that favorite scene of mine is only in the tv edit of the film. So I'll never be able to own this film in the version I'm used to.

What I don't like is when they put in scenes that were cut in theaters (usually for good reasons) back into the movie so that they can market it as the "unrated director's cut".

That happened to me, too. That was a good scene, too, and really should have been included in the final cut of the film. It's kind of weird that that guy goes unpunished at the end in the theatrical version.

Some TV versions of movies cut scenes for time, but some actually ADD scenes to pad the time out a bit, and that was the case with Happy Gilmore. In another case, I grew up watching the extended version of Superman II on recorded off of television, so I noticed many scenes missing when I originally bought the movie on DVD. Sadly, these scenes remain unavailable on any release (including the upcoming Blu-Ray Anthology set), but you can see them in glorious full-screen VHS quality on Youtube.
