if there was 2 extra hours added to Groundhogs day of Phil doing stuff over and over it would be just as fun to watch.

Hustlers would let you think you have a chance first.

Out there are two actors with a story "How I almost made it into "Groundhog Day" :)

I can see Phil being drawn to pool because even on a repeating day each game would be different.

It's Crazy how many times you can watch this movie.

I like this scene, it makes sense that Phil would kill time by constantly playing pool, also I like how Phil says he's seen those guys every day even though they've never seen him, like he's daring them to figure out what he is but he knows it's beyond them. And Murray's performance conveys how he's come to see this town as a prison.

Decent scene, but I think the reason it didn't make the cut was because the "Jeopardy" scene made the point even more clear, was funnier, and was much quicker.

I see why it was cut. Nice seeing it but the movie didnt need it.

As much as I like pool, the film was just fine without this scene. I'm glad that I got to watch over 2 minutes of this lost scene :) Thank for posting.

Bill Murray always flutters his eyes when he's lying. Cracks me up every time.

The best stuff of Groundhog Day was him learning and perfecting new tricks, so this is a nice sight to see

I wish there were ten more hours of outtakes from Groundhog Day.

Still one of the best movies ever made.

I actually think this scene was designed to fill two roles at once. It both shows how much time has passed for him and indicates that at this point in the story he DOES NOT care about growth or even doing well on this particular cycle. The implication is that he HAS hustled these people properly before, and indeed has probably figured out that they bet on baketball before and fleeced them there (this time he chased them off by quoting specific outcomes for multiple games, indicating he has some inside track on sports and scaring them off. The goal here was really showing his apathy as much as his competancy. And while things like the jeopardy scene or piano lessons showed learning, things like the drunk driving scene, the suicidal chase scene with the groundhog, and the string of suicides showed his moments of despair. This does tie both concepts together well...but the tone is different. Its less sardonic humor and more pure vitriol. This scene shows Bill's character as having fallen to not only being in despair, but bitter and mean spirited about his situation. That, I believe more than anything, is why they cut the scene.

The thing I felt sadly got left out by not including this scene, was the fact that as he said "I've played here for Months." and how exceptionally skilled he is, as it really puts into perspective, how long he actually spent in that loop.

I feel like I just watched this scene yesterday, and the day before...

Been playing pool since mid 1980's and I've never been in a pool hall this quiet.

Yes, I can understand why it was cut. But honestly it made me smile. I would have been happy to have more of this film

This wasn't hustling, this was flexing. 💪

Does anyone else think that Phil, in what was almost certainly decades, if not centuries within the loop, did venture outside Punxsatawney after a while? After all, the blizzard only came that afternoon. If he jumped out of bed at 6AM, grabbed some clothes, and used what cash/resources/stealing abilities he had to pay his way to the airport, he could jet his way to literally anywhere in the world, having several hours to use having fun, meeting people, learning languages and cultures, having any number of adventures that freed him from the monotony of that small town from time to time.

I'm not a big movie goer but I randomly came across this movie one evening while I lived in Korea. It was broadcast on a Japanese TV station in Korea, in English, with Japanese subtitles. I'd heard about the movie years ago and thought I'd watch it and if it turned out boring I'd switch the channel. Turns out.. it was/is definitely my kind of movie. Definitely one of my favorites of all time.

Fun to see another tiny slice more of his fateful day. I've always loved this movie.

I believe the original script called for a scene where he goes to the library, takes a book off the shelf, and reads one page. Then you would see him (via fades) go through that book, one page a day. And then the whole library aisle. Basically the original idea is that he's stuck in there for hundreds of years. Maybe a little too dark? It certainly explains the suicide attempts.

Every day, I watch this video... ...and it NEVER CHANGES!

Nice, i seen the movie like a million times and this was priceless.

What cracks me up is imagining their reaction later noticing he was exactly right in every game haha

No one on this planet could've performed a better role than Bill

If i was playing pool for 40 years id be that good too

many of us can relate to this movie after sitting at home the whole 2020

An example of why editing is critical to making a great movie.

One is a friend of mine named Kurt Naebig. Remember he said that Bill would always adlib his lines. When he found out he didn't make it he received a clip of this and was very understanding and quite happy. Bill is a legend and Kurt has done other parts in movies and plays and has been doing this for since he was young. Funny this popped up on my timeline and want to say thanks so much for sharing.

That was an awesome scene. It really also helps enforce just how many loops he lived through, which according to Harold Ramis was way, way more than you'd have guessed from what the movie shows.

Thanks for posting! This is one of my very favorite films.

"Yeah, I'm really lucky... You want some action?" Spoken like a true badass.

One of my favorites. Thanks!

I think an interesting sequel would be, old Phil revisits the town (with his wife of many years), and comes across an erratic individual who is now stuck in the loop. The movie is from the point of view of the new looper who must reveal to Phil everyday what is happening and how Phil and his wife try to help.

"I dunno -- I seen yooz!" LMAO.

This is one of those movies that I keep thinking about whenever the subject of time or alternate universes comes up. It's really an underrated gem.

Grounghog day with Bill Murray is one of the best movies of all times. It’s a must see!!!

I can't help but feel I've seen this before.

I'm glad it was cut- Groundhog Day was a Masterpiece! Every veiw is better.

Gold. This is a fantastic outtake, and the sports betting bit is classic, too

I've watched this over 2.6K and it still starts the same way each time! What the...?!

“A hustler? God no! I’m a weatherman.”

I've been a fan of this movie since I saw it in theaters. This is the first time I've seen this. I love it. Thank You 🤯

THAT'S GOLD! FOUND GOLD! lol ~ ~ thanks to whoever uploaded this clip. I've watched Groundhog's Day 34, 898 times now, and anything New---is Good.

Every single day I'm hustlin'

I quit a day in day out job because of this movie lol

A few years back I was working from home on Groundhog Day and a local station was doing a Groundhog Day marathon, so I saw the movie end-to-end like 6 times in a row.

Never saw this before. Great! Thank you so much!

Loved every second. Thanks.

One of the greatest movies of all time

knowing all the Jeopardy questions is much funnier for the circumstances

Since the movie came out, I've watched it over and over again.

I love that movie. The first few times I watched, there were scenes that I forgot and was like seeing it for the first time over and over.

This is great! Thanks for posting. I think this adds time to the estimate on how long he was there.

Unessacery as this scene is to the movie, it does give you a good idea as to how many times Phil has been re-living the same day since it would take almost an entire lifetime to be this good at pool.

Love it! Watched this clip several times....now to find more deleted Groundhog Day scene...Great movie, I think it's Bill Murray's Best!

Amazing! Thank you for the upload!

Great scene but that is not a hustler! A hustler plays poorly at first for small money until others believe he sucks, then the big money is put down, at that point he plays to his ability and wins!

I appreciate every single scene in Groundhog Day, this one included. Though my favorite is the way Phil bounces back from the previous day's gaffe about studying 19th century French poetry being an incredible waste of time by reciting an apropos poem in fluent French.

And now, having watched it, I understand why it was cut out. Thanks.

~ OMG - I have never seen this clip before... A must share!

A truly groundbreaking film. Up there with The Usual Suspects.

"It's 6 a.m. so wake up you sleepy heads and put your booties on- cuz it's cooooold out there!"

Never saw this before. Cheers to one of my favorite games!

Dear Robert E G Black: Thank you, for sharing this gem. Wow! I love this clip! And Bill Murray is so cool! Why would they leave this classic gem out of the film?

The editor threw away a better pool skills scene than any of the scenes in The Color of Money, which was actively trying to show skilful pool playing.

The funny thing is, pool is a game where it doesn't matter if you keep replaying the day over and over. Every single game will be different. Obviously he will get better the more he plays, but he won't know each shot before they happen, like he does with everything else.

I would watch any and every scene filmed for Groundhog Day. I seriously think it's the best movie I've ever seen, and that Bill Murray, the rest of the cast, all the writers and directors deserve all the awards for great filmmaking. This is a great scene. It wouldn't have been left out of the final cut of the movie unless they had way too many great scenes to choose from.

I always watch this movie whenever it comes up on cable.

That scene fully edited would have blended fantastically.

I watched groundhog day at least 1000 times and never heard or seen this scene but it is one of the greatest scenes to me and wish it would of been in the movie!! First time I seen this... thank you very much for posting!!

The lesson nobody gets in this movie is. Even if we could replay a single day over and over again. We'd never get it perfect. No matter what we knew.

Great scene!

I loved that they kept the piano scenes. It is realistic that someone would improve in piano by practicing everyday. I tell retiring people at my work to take up piano now that they have 8 hours of free time every day they didn't have before.

I can't believe they deleted that scene. It's perfect in all ways.

Nice scene, can't believe I'm just now seeing it!

There's apart of me that would love this to be in the movie. I understand why it ended up on the editors floor.

I'm just sayin, if I meet someone THIS relaxed and confident while masterfully playing pool, I'm only gonna assume they're a god. Not THE god. A god.

Love this movie. Glad they cut this.

Thank you posting! I love this film and I just saw a part I’d never seen! Thank you so much!!

I love this movie "Groundhog Day"! Especially like watching it on Groundhog Day!

I love this scene on its own, but it wouldn’t work well in the movie.

they might have deleted this scene because it is not very funny and it has no payoff at the end.

Now finally I can say I've seen the whole movie.

I keep watching this movie, over and over again. Every morning at 6am I wake up and watch it. What?

Oh, man. This scene is just perfect.

It's the kind of scene that's easily cut. It's quite self-contained, which means it doesn't do much to drive the story forward. All it would have done is add a little more to the audience's awareness of how long Phil has been stuck in the loop. It would have been difficult for Harold Ramis, and one would imagine also Bill Murray, to convey, in 100 minutes, without spoonfeeding the audience with captions or other conceits, just how long it takes for Phil to break the cycle. Given all of the things Phil learns to do, as well as the effect it has on his mental health, he would have been reliving the day for decades.

Thanks for posting this

Wise cut! Good upload.

I see why the scene got deleted, it doesn't really fit the rest of the movie, but it's still a cool little thing to see Phil using his powers like this xD

It just occurred to me: you know what would really be hell? If the world was stuck in a loop, but not Phil. He aged every day like normal.

Now I have to watch It again. :-)

I was like o wow a deleted scene from Groundhog Day...clicked on it immediately and...I'VE SEEN IT ALREADY

"Yeah, like the Groundhog Phil." lol xD

Most people are saying they should have deleted it because it doesn't fit with the movie, but I disagree. It doesn't fit because it's unedited. There's no sound mixing, no music, no detailed cuts, just rolling cameras and dialogue. I bet if it were put in, it would be seamless

I love bill in every scene. I can watch this movie forever

This is a great scene.

Imagine if on his last loop, he called someone to make a profit off his bets. Phil should be set for life.
