I bought a DVD copy of the Blues Brothers from a charity shop for 50p a year ago after refusing to buy a copy unless it was the extended edition but no information on sites such as Amazon and Ebay never included on the listing whether it was or not.. the following night i gave in and thought I’d put my newly acquired copy on and low and behold it was the extended cut but the box has the original version runtime listed on the back

The Crow was not Brandon Lee's first lead performance. He was the lead in Hong Kong action flick Legacy of Rage in 1986, Laser Mission in 1989 and Rapid Fire in 1992.

_Dr. Strangelove_ (January, 1964) is actually a parody of the best-selling serious novel _Red Alert_ (1958) . It beat the dramatization _Failsafe_ (October 1964), based on the serialized thriller novel _Failsafe_ (1962), to the box office by several months. This was due to a lawsuit filed by Kubrick that alleged that the similar _Failsafe_ plagiarized its plot from _Red Alert_ . _Failsafe_ suffered at the box office, perhaps due to the recent memory of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the looming threat of nuclear war, and is mostly forgotten.

I know it’s sounds stupid but I wish someone who loves archival of films get married in the Kubrick family and releases all of his deleted scenes

Unfortunately most of the silent South African feature films from 1910 - 1930 were never archived: a loss for Africa's oldest film industry.

The Pie Fight sequence actually does still exist, but has been permanently put away per the wishes of Kubrick, his family and its estate.

Great video mate. Didn't even know about at least half of these.

I just watch this video and the first one. I have always been fascinated with lost media so this was right up my alley. And it goes without saying this also earned you a sub. ❤

I'm well inclined to believe that Kubrick cut that scene for being to cheerful looking. While I personally think the ider of the fight as it is described actually does fit the tone of the just sheer insanity of it all, I can also see why he believed a serious tone would have been better.

Wow, this channel is great! Keep it up

Your picture of the Pickwick theater is the one in Park Ridge, IL but you said the one in west LA.

Two other ones that almost certainly won't ever be seen, and for understandable reasons: There's a never aired episode of the Dick Cavett talk show which featured fitness enthusiast and publisher James Rodale and columnist Pete Hamill as guests. Rodale passed away from an apparent heart attack during the taping after he reportedly boasted that he'd live to be 100 as long as he didn't get hit by an ice cream truck. Another is the tragic final morning show broadcast of Sarasota, Florida TV personality Chris Chubbuck in 1974. I first found out about the Chubbuck incident in the intro to a story anthology by Harlan Ellison; it inspired a plot point in the great 1976 film "Network", and a biopic was made about her a few years ago.

This isn't on the same level as the instances here, but the Blues Brothers reminded me of some other lost Belushi footage. In the 1970s NBC aired Godzilla vs Megalon during primetime. (Why? who knows?) It was introduced by Belushi in a Godzilla costume, and intercut with clips of Belushi making jokes or doing slapstick in the costume. Not as interesting to the general public today but any kid like me who saw it when it aired would love to see it again.

Very informative! Regarding Dr. Strangelove. While I'd love to see the footage of the pie fight, I think it would be excessive and redundant, as the ending portrayed the MAD-ness of it all without needing any more slapstick. The JFK assassination did, however, move Kubrick to make a change in the post-production. If you watch closely you can easily see that Major Kong says "A fella could have a nice time in Dallas...", while you hear Slim Pickens say "Vegas". Truly a "too soon" moment for Kubrick.

ayy man, great video. Loving the lost media content!

That said, grand job. Cheers

Great stuff. One miniscule quibble aside, this is excellent, a wonderful video. BTW, some outtakes from Strangelove were used in Magical Mystery Tour - this is Second Unit footage of flying shots over Greenland which are used for the 'Flying' sequence, albeit colourized (in single colours). I think you need to do Volume 3 - which is the biggest compliment I could give you.

You learn something new every day, I had no idea there was a Roadshow release of The Blues Brothers. I know of the extended version (hell it's the version I've seen and own physically) but not the Roadshow version. Usually Roadshow prints of movies are never screened beyond their theatrical release as a general rule and many of them are now lost to my knowledge (the most recent Roadshow screening I can recall is The Hateful Eight in 2015). I've heard it rumoured that it was written in Stanley Kubrick's will that all cut footage from his films get destroyed (with the only exception being Spartacus since Kubrick was a hired director and later disowned it). Not only is Dr Strangelove's pie fight ending gone but so are the cut scenes from A Clockwork Orange and the hospital ending of The Shining (which was only shown on its first day of limited release), there was a rumour that the BFI screened a print of Dr Strangelove with the pie fight ending after Kubrick's death but this is unconfirmed, likewise the whereabouts of the footage is unconfirmed. Actually 17 minutes were cut out of 2001: A Space Odyssey before it went on general release as well (it had a Roadshow screening), however in 2010 a copy of the footage turned up in a salt mine in Kansas of all places, however out of respect for Kubrick's family this footage has never been released to the public. I wish the full version of Freaks still exists because the final cut did suffer a little due to the ending and the obvious amount of missing footage (even the final cut's ending came from a poor quality print). Actually I struggle to view Freaks as a horror movie because it really isn't, aside the marketing and it's ending (which could even be read as justified self defence) it's actually ahead of its time when it comes to disability representation (I mean it) and I think it’s still important and relevant today, while the world is a more progressive place these days I still think a contemporary audience wouldn't be ready for a film like it.

It’s really annoying how much footage was cut from this video due to copyright strikes. Does free use just not matter anymore? Anyway, keep up the good work! This is a great video.

I honestly believe that, even in its heavily-trimmed form, FREAKS is Browning's masterpiece.

i'm sure others have pointed out that the Crow wasn't Lee's first and final lead performance. Final yes.

Excellent job ❤😂😂😂😂 especially like to kill to see t' blues Brothers extended scenes '

_Freaks_ (1932) is the source of The Simpsons running gag "One of US! One of US!". This is what the sideshow performers chanted after they turn Cleopatra into one of them. This was also used in the _Clerks_ animated series (episode 6: _The Last Episode Ever_ ; February, 2001). A fair is set up across the street from the Quickie Mart. Two sideshow performers based on Schlitze the Pinhead from _Freaks_ come in to the Quickie Mart to buy stuff. Dante and Randal feel pity for them, but agree that at least they're not conscious enough to understand how awful their life is. This sentiment is then shared by the performers, who are glad that the Quickie Mart employees aren't aware of how awful their life is.

I hope some of these films and others are discovered someday and restored to their original length.

Need...need more

Sorry to have to correct you sir, but the scene in question where Lee catches a live round was after he comes back and goes after Massi aka Fun Boy in the apartment with Darla, Sara's mom. The eeriest/saddest part of Lee's death, personally speaking, and besides the fact that his father passed prematurely as well; is the tragic nspiration for the story of The Crow, that being ofcourse O'Barr's personal loss. Bless the Cure for helping get him through it all. 🖤

I remember that scene where the General and Soviet Ambassador fought with the apparently internally contradictory line by the President, "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the war room." The decision to not have the pie fight was appropriate for the reason given. Or maybe there was a fear THE THREE STOOGES might sue claiming the pie fight was their trademark. It would have still been fun to watch. It would be best to run it as a separate short followed by the THREE STOOGES looking and Moe scowling, "Amateurs."

Time for another staring contest with the void.

5:57 The Crow was not Brandon Lee's "first" lead performance. He was the main character in an awesome movie called "Rapid fire" a couple years before The Crow.

That second one is really sad.

i'd like to see whether you could make vid for the music variety shows that are missing episodes Top of the Pops, Ready Steady Go etc Hullabaloo, Shindig...and so on.

The BBC has a lost version of Anne of Green Gables. They aired it only once apparently

London after midnight....lost horizon

nuCLear.... nuCLear

15:00 that is not the photo of the film being cut. Its is a promotional shot of legendary soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein.

The Crow is still one of the best movies from the early 90s. It gets better with age.

I hope all death scenes are released for closure, especially steve irwin and the crow

Ready steady go - only episodes featuring Dave Clark were kept when he bought the rights.

Permanently Lost Media That You'll Never See; and yet, here I am, watching it

Ted Kotcheff unbelievably went on to direct First Blood

Pretty sure you’re in the very small minority that DOESNT want to see the Brandon Lee footage. Never heard anyone say they DIDNT want to see it.

How is the 1st one "lost media" when it never existed on film or in audio?

Irving Thalberg

Freaks' ending was so weird, I'd like to have seen the original. Makes me think of the halfassed ill-fitting forced good ending for The Bad Seed. I want to see how that was intended to end without censorship.

How is it lost and will never see if you have it

Dr. Dre Strangelove , a movie where they do drive by pie fights

Episodes 3-6 of the original Quatermass series, performed live, the first 2 were recorded but deemed to be of poor quality so the last 4 episodes were not recorded at all Doomwatch, 14 of the 38 episodes are missing, poor sales overseas so very unlikely to be recovered, see also Adam Adamant Lives! Crossroads, just the small matter of over 2500 missing episodes. The original version of Orson Wells The Magnificent Ambersons, an hour hacked out of the film and the cut footage destroyed. The Avengers (the film of the UK TV show, 30 minutes hacked out of the film, no idea if the film still survives but seems unlikely we will ever see it

60% of the Blues Brothers budget was for cocaine.

👍👍👍

Someone DIES on set and they just. keep playing? Holy shit. Was there nothing else they could have put on? claim tech issues and put on the news or music or something? At least we something like The Who crush they had a reason for the show to keep doing, the play kinda doesn't.

Imagine after this is uploaded a madlad in the lost media wiki finds one of these, bc permanently lost media is what they said about the sesame street episode with the wicked witch of the west, but that was found

Psst. Picwood Theater. Not Pickwick.

Lugosi never refused a role in his life. That Frankenstein story is a myth. James Whale wanted Karloff from day one.

One piece of permanently lost media that I'm personally upset about is Eurovision 1964. The only surviving footage consists of the very beginning and the Italian winner, Gigliola Cinquetti, reprising her song after winning. It was rumored for a long time that the footage was lost due to a fire, which is even still mentioned on the official Eurovision website, but we've since learned that it's not true. The host broadcaster, DR, is mainly at fault, as they never actually recorded the contest that year, but no other country's broadcaster recorded it either. I do especially blame DR though, since they didn't record for 9 years straight, and the time that they hosted fell into those years. It's especially a shame that the footage was lost, as it was a very historical year in several ways. The first contest, from 1956, also has very little surviving footage due to not being recorded. However, I don't put as much blame onto anyone, as it was mainly meant to be a radio broadcast, and the broadcasters likely didn't think that the contest would become as popular as it did, or as historical as it is.

haha you literally read off the wiki page for greed

Erich von Stroheim wasn't built for 1920's cinema. He would have fared much better in today's world of HBO and Netflix series.

I never have seen The Blues Brothers. No interest in seeing it.

0The movie "Freaks" says "In ancient times, anything deviating from the normal was considered an omen of ill luck or representative of evil". Seeing as how there's still PLENTY of that kind of dumb bullshit going on these days... I wasn't aware that we're still in ancient times. lol

If its permanently deleted how come you have it on here.its not deleted then
