"The glory of our age, the bringers of joy....there will always be poverty and pain, war and injustice in this world, but, thank the lord, also always be The Beatles." Best. Line. Ever.

HAIL TO THE COUNT ! Rest in Peace Philip Seymour Hoffman

This has to go down as the greatest scene deleted from a film.

Another unfairly deleted scene... I can completely understand their awe, because that's exactly how I felt while visiting Abbey Road last year.

Oh, well done, Harold!!!! He really didn't get enough screen time. And Abbey Road! This was wonderful. Wish it was in the theatrical version

This piece is beautiful one. They should have kept at least Harold's part, it was darn brilliant indeed!

The second part with Harold is just so sweet and adorable! But the first part... I tell you, the first part... I absolutely adore and relish every single word he says about the Beatles. Because it's SO true :o)

Maybe not his best or most popular film, but one I enjoyed a lot. R.I.P. Count.

the Film was fantastic...but with the deleted scenes it would have been a huge smash!

for those wanting to know, the song that spike seattle (Harold) plays is the I understand my man by the elgins

Oh I'm feeling sobsorry for the actor (someone help me with the name, please) that they deleted this final part from the original film. I get that it wasn't essential to the plot or to the film's unique humor but it was his scene... and a very sweet one one highlighting Spike Seattle's underdog and underrated role on the boat! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Can we just appreciate John giggling away when he hears Harold on the radio and then more giggles when they burst into the studio

I swear to God. If the mind game/question sequences were left out instead of the edited scenes, it would have undoubtedly dominated the movie theaters.

harold is probably one of my favourite characters :D

Ike Hamilton was brilliant in every scene he was in. 😎😎😎😎😎

Such a beautiful scene. Thank you for posting it 🥰

It is obvious why they deleted this scene because there were no Beatles songs in the film. Probably because EMI wanted too much money for Rights. Also, If the scene had been included most film goers would have then complained even more that the most important artists of the era, the Beatles, were excluded from the film. I had the enormous pleasure to experience Radio London and Radio Caroline 24 hours a day while I was at the University of Essex in Colchester in the mid 60s. Thanks for the memories Philip Seymour Hoffman and I loved his role in "Patch Adams", playing a completely opposite character to the "Count".

After the film, I wondered why there were no Beatles songs. From what Tony Blacknurn said many artists had to be careful at the time, do didn't want to be played as it was pirate radio..something to that effect

One of my favourite scene!

Harold ftw! Why they would cut a Harold appreciation scene? :(

Harold is amazing!

i love each one of them 😭

This is gold !!!

copyright issues haha, apple would never sell out thats why it took forever until the beatles were on ITunes

It wasn't called "Abbey Road" until well after 1969, when the album was released. It was just called "EMI London"

@sidneykc Dude, you are awesome. Thank you so much for finding that.

They cut Phil Hoffman's best scenes. What was left, anyone could have done. Sorry, Phil. RIP to a master.

HOLY SHIT! There's many deleted scenes from The Boat That Rocked ! 0=

WHY?!?!? This scene with Abbey Road is BRILLIANT and so WHY they deleted the scene?!?!??!

Philip Seymour Hoffman merecia mais um Oscar só por essa cena. Esse elenco todo, sua energia e química é um triunfo por si só. A maneira como mr. Hoffman está a vontade no papel, indo do mais leve e descontraído ao mais sério e sombrio com uma naturalidade e fluidez, chega a ser tão divertido como comovente. Não deveria ter sido cortada do filme, e ainda merecia destaque.

i just burst out laughing once i saw his face! thats priceless! xD

That's a damn cheek cutting Harold's scene out like that!

See the opening speach on the dvd section, you can tell to take these scenes out was extremely painful to take out. I bet it was 11th hour. First time I have ever seen that from a director. You can tell on his face. There must be a cut with all these in or the full uncut movie

Does anyone know the name is the first song which 'Spike Seattle' plays as he first comes on the radio - tried Shazam - now luck, tried searching all over the internet - no luck!! Any help???

2:42 Amen

A great scene, but of all the deleted scenes, this was probably the one that necessitated cutting for one very simple reason: it is the only scene that portrays ANY of the ship’s crew on shore. It does kinda take away from the isolation they managed to build for the rest of the film. So while I think this scene is golden, it was a good call.

Two thoughts. This scene gave me chills all around, and also this movies deleted scenes are God damn groovy

This would have given so much more to Harold, who didnt really get a lot of credit when compared to the other characters. Would have made him much less minor.

5:34 = AMAZING "Harold" :') i laughed for a long time at that

I would have done the same thing as Harold if the whole team didn't arrive back on time after a bachelor party on land

I have to think that the "I've never..." game and a couple of other less-funny minutes here and there could have been cut to make room for such a great scene. Watching Richard Curtis introduce these deleted scenes, it was clear that the film would have been three hours long, if he'd had his way.

It is a travesty that this scene was removed from the final cut.

I read a n article on collide that explained his reasoning behind deleting scenes

All the deleted scenes are brilliant and should have been left in. Does anyone know what thick Kevin did?

Why leave that incredible speech out of the film :(

I find it amusing an American showed them Abbey Rd Studios.

@jebb4ever he snubbed Paul at the premier fo some sports player (I don't remember exactly). Paul came up to him and complemented him about his role in the film and Tom just pushed past Paul to get to the ruby player.

..why was this deleted?? O_0

at the end there with Harold, and with the Nick name's they get, I would call him ether King Harold or Hansom harlod

correction... they didn't work it out. Paul obviously didn't like that too much and Tom never apologized

what's the title of the first song that "spike seattle" plays?

Look at that face 2:53 LMAO

Their idiots for deleting this scene!!!

They shouldve had like john and paul come out and say hi or something. that wouldve been cool. Get gary gibson and that guy from the linda mccartney story, that would be awesome.

@shaneishott Fair enough, it's Sir Paul fucking McCartney! You've got to show some respect! x

I've always thought it was Ester Rantzen

3:05 who do you think it is? food for thought!

Name of song at 4:10????

Name of the song at 4.46?

4:24 Gavin: Who is that f...?

I don't understand how, after a speech like that, that Tom (Carl) could possbly snub Paul at the premier! I mean it's freaking Paul McCartney! But aparently they worked it all out, so I guess it's ok :)

why is there no beatles song in this movie????

John Lennon's aunt Mimi

I don’t know why it doesn’t work, but it doesn’t work. (then again I didn’t like the rest of the film)

@My89Rhythm Not even funny lol
