Friendly reminder that the "Star Wars Holiday Special" survives in its horrific entirety, despite its own creator's repeated attempts to eliminate it.

You forgot to include Erich Von Stroheim's GREED from 1924 which was originally 8 hours long and was reduced to 2 and a half hours. If there was ever a single film with the most missing footage, it is definitely this one.

As someone who is really into lost media, this really caught my attention. Finding out that there are deleted scenes of "The Wizard of Oz" is very shocking to me as it's one of my all time favorite movies. Honestky, I wish there was a way for us to go back in time and prevent movie scenes from ever getting lost or destroyed. Fantastic video by the way. You now have a new subscriber.

I saw the uncut "2001" the week it opened, then went back a couple of weeks later. Missing was extensive procedural footage of Frank Poole putting the AE-35 unit back into the Discovery before HAL sent the pod to kill him. I noticed the cuts because, in 70mm projection, the magnetic sound heads are above the gate and you can hear the "pop" ahead of the splice rather than after it, as with optical tracks, which is what alerted me. Also: There is still a scene missing from the restored "Lawrence of Arabia." It extends the scene in which General Allenby persuades Lawrence to return to the war. ALSO: Billy Wilder famously deleted scenes from "Double Indemnity," "Sunset Boulevard" and "Some Like It Hot" -- but they aren't as famous as the five you present here. Good work; this is unusually accurate for a KZfaq video.

The most famous movie to be lost is “London After Midnight” in 1927 starring Lon Chaney and directed by Tod Browning. The film was destroyed in the 1965 MGM vault fire. Only pictures remain and movie posters. Really sad

Here's one you may not know: "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" had several minutes cut from it. They were mostly reaction shots from people. I know. I was in some of them. As a school teacher on summer break in Mobile, Alabama, I, along with some of my colleagues, was recruited as an extra. We hung out in one of the two former blimp hangers that Spielberg had rented and turned into the landing place. We reacted to some colored lights. Upon its premiere, I was proud to see a few frames of myself on screen. But Spielberg re-cut the film (for pacing, I guess) and SHAZAM! my moment of glory was gone! That's Hollywood for ya'!

Isn't a movie, but there are entire serials of the original Doctor Who that are missing due to the BBC destroying them.

for me, i'd like to see the complete 'wizard of oz.'

I want to see the original full six-hour cut of Joseph L. Mankiewicz's "Cleopatra" (1963). Starring Elizabeth Taylor. This is one that really should be on this list. They removed and later destroyed, one third of the most expensive film ever made at the time.

I actually saw that footage in The Shining -- I don't think it was on the first day -- as I recall, I saw it on a preview screening. All I can really remember is the fact that there was a scene with Wendy in the hospital bed. I don't really remember anything else about it -- but I do think that the shot of Jack frozen was also included, so I have a feeling that the dialogue wouldn't have indicated that Jack hadn't been found.

I have a VHS copy of The Wizard of Oz with some of the "Jitterbug" scene. To clarify, not the scene itself, but from another angle seemingly not recorded for the movie. It's the one shown in this video.

I'd love to see the original "The Phantom of the Opera" (1925), the one that had the ending from the book. Lon Chaney's performance as Erik, the Phantom, is legendary as it is, but if we still had the footage of him acting out those final scenes, his Erik would be on a pedestal all his own.

I'd like to see an uncut version of Disney's The Black Cauldron.

Here's an example I found online: The 1925 silent film Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney. The original ending, directed by Rupert Julian, was supposed to follow very closely to the ending of the original book, where Erik makes Christine choose between marrying him and letting Raoul and the Persian live, or to refuse and watch them die. Christine agrees to marry him, saving the trapped men from their fate. Christine and the Phantom share a moment together as she kisses him on the forehead, which he returns in favor as they mingle in tears. Erik releases Christine from her promise as he lets her marry Raoul. Moments later, he lets out the final note on his organ as he slumps over and dies a broken heart in Daroga's hands, with the mob watching sympathetically over his corpse. The ending was previewed in January 25th, 1925 for the first and last time as audiences reportedly booed at the ending because it made the monster look less fearsome and more sympathetic. As a result, it was replaced with a more action-packed sequence of Erik trying to escape with Christine on a horse carriage and then trying to outrun an angry mob which then catch up to him and throw him in the Seine River, where he drowns to death. The original ending has been either lost in archival vaults, or was destroyed to save budgets on new film reel.

I'd like to see the 1925 version of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in it's complete entirety before it was cut down for official release, including the original ending. Despite we have the best version of the film, it would still be a nice bonus to see nonetheless.

I'd pay real money to see Welles' cut of Magnificent Ambersons. Strange that the granddaddy of all mutilated masterpieces, "Greed" wasn't mentioned. Oh, and I'd love to see the crazy censored ending from "Freaks".

I would have put Liz Taylor's Cleopatra on this list. Reportedly, there's at least a full movie's worth of cut footage that was excised from the final film (as the original film was intended to be two movies, but the studio wanted it out the door as soon as possible to capitalize on the publicity surrounding the Liz Taylor/Richard Burton romance.)

I'ld love to see a complete original version of Metropolis

I recall seeing Frank Capra's Lost Horizon for the first time (on television) around 1967. I was watching it again recently on TCM, and there were several missing scenes that were replaced by static photos. A total of around 15 minutes with sound and photos only. I know for sure those scenes were there in 1967. I am hopeful that the complete film will soon be found.

The original Wicker Man was mercilessly butchered. Among other things that were lost was a lengthy scene where Christopher Lee described all the different apples on SummerIsle. All the cut footage was literally used as filler in a highway they were putting in outside of the film studio so it's lost forever. Luckily, Roger Corman had an early cut of the film so some of the footage, in degraded quality, was recovered, however, the bulk of the cut material is now highway fodder.

Probably not on par with these films for anyone else ...but Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey had a HUGE chunk of the ending altered. The original ending featured the three fears from hell manifesting in the real world in giant form and chasing Bill and Ted to the battle of the bands. Rumor is that footage is probably lost to time now ...though some images still exist on the internet.

Great selection, I might add that Metropolis could well fit into this category as well. Although you clearly state in the title that it was just 5 (awesome selections BTW) that fit into this category. Recently there was a massive restoration project on Metropolis that restored most of the deleted scenes, since what was deemed to be a full copy of the print was found in a private collection in Argentina.....but the film had degraded so badly that not all of it could be saved. Even with the restoration work most of the added scenes are not exactly pristine.

The original 153 minute cut of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, struck from the original domestic negative, is probably my holy grail when it comes to motion pictures. The current restoration is jumbled together from several different versions of the film and is still missing about 8 minutes of footage.

This is why the “Despecialized Editions “ of the original Star Wars trilogy have become so popular

The same thing can be said for the movie "Freaks" from 1932, directed by Tod Browning. The original cut of the film, fully intact, was 90 minutes, it got butchered down to 62 minutes. "test screenings in early 1932 were disasters, and MGM took the movie away from Browning and slashed almost a half hour from the film. The original runtime of an hour and a half had been butchered down to just 62 minutes. What was removed has become the stuff of legend; back in the early 1930s, or even the first half of the 20th Century, nobody bothered to save deleted scenes, and so no one alive today has ever seen the complete version of Freaks." Along with that film and the films mentioned in this video, it sometimes makes me wish time travel was real.

Would love to see an entire A Star is Born. The soundtrack survived. So they used stills to fill in where film was lost. A masterpiece lost.

GONE WITH THE WIND. Imagine how long it would be if they found all the cut footage !

That's easy! If there was one movie I could watch uncut it would be Tod Browning's "Freaks" from 1932!!

I'm particularly fascinated with lost scenes from animated movies. Recently, a full version of the Hell scene in "All Dogs Go to Heaven" was found, and it is absolutely terrifying!

Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman was originally very different and had an articulate Frankenstein Monster because at the end of Ghost of Frankenstein it was Ygor's brain in the body. But the test audiences (who obviously hadn't seen the whole franchise) were "confused" by The Creature speaking articulately and with an Hungarian accent so all scenes were he spoke were chopped out. Also the explanation as to why he walked with his arms out stretched were lost. The Creature had been blind at the end of Ghost of Frankenstein.

Great video! Keep 'em coming! I remember seeing Gremlins 2 in theaters and the gremlins mess with the film only to be stopped by Hulk Hogan, but on the VHS version they change your TV channel and get in a gun fight with John Wayne. Messed with my mind when I was younger for sure!

Man, this is depressing...

As a fan of the Wizard of Oz movie, it sucks that I may never get to see those extra 20 mins of scenes. I'm glad the audio and script for the cut songs are still around but it isn't the same. I wish time travel was real so I could see the film in its entirety. But I do have hope that someday the missing scenes might be found one day. I'm grateful that the Scarecrow dance sequence survived.

The 20 lost minutes from the Wizard Of Oz is said to be on the Ultimate Oz Laserdisc.

I saw the entire uncut version of Little Shop of Horrors (1986) at a screening. They did restore the original ending, but they haven't restored the "The Meek Shall Inherit" sequence, among other minor edits. I wish they'd restore that scene to the film because it's pretty important to the plot.

The Thief and the Cobbler is the first one that comes to mind for films I'd like to see in their intended complete form. If a directors' cut of the Golden Compass was financially possible, I'd love to see that too.

Okay, for movies with lost footage that have never been found that have never been found, I was going to say Metropolis, but the footage was restored back in 2010. But seriously, there are tons of movies that I love that have lost footage, the original 1923 Hunchback of Notre Dame with Lon Chaney for example.

If I had a time machine, I'd get a video camera and film that missing scene from the Shining

I would like to see the complete or original cuts of Land Before Time and The Black Cauldron. Okay, before you laugh, there is a longer cut of The Land Before Time, I think 10 minutes were removed from the movie, you can look on Google for information.Anyway, those would be interesting to see

The original version of Judy Garland's A STAR IS BORN...

I know that the movie is in its 'approved' entirety since it's Premiere in December 1939. However, just out of curiosity, I'd LOVE to be able to see the 40 to 45 minutes that were cut OUT of "Gone With The Wind" between it's surprise Sneak Preview in August (or so) 1939 and it's World Premiere in December 15, 1939 in Atlanta. Just to see the extra stuff. God, it would be Awesome if that footage was someday found! I know that things get thrown out, destroyed, and taken out during POST-Production all the time for various reasons (for Pacing, or because it bogs down the Story, or it's deemed unnecessary). But any extra scene or sequence or Outtake or MOMENT from the movie would be a delicious pleasure to watch. Just out of sheer curiosity!

Would have like to seen the original cut "A Star is Born" starring Judy Garland and James Mason. Cukor said the studio butchered his movie and refused to ever watch their shortened version. A lot of it has been recovered, but several scenes are presumed lost.

I remember watching Lost Horizon with my mom and was shocked that there was a segment that had words but no visual with a note on the screen that the footage was lost. Blew my mind that, that could happen.

i want to see the original uncut versions of the starwars movies without the cgi add ins

I want to see the infamous ballroom scene from Magnificent Amberson's, which is said to be one of the most innovative, technical and beautiful pieces of film ever made, on par with Kubrick having Zeiss invent special camera lenses for Barry Lyndon or the "Touch Of Evil" Welles' opening where the camera is above the town on a busy party night following the action before the bomb explodes.... Supposedly the Amberson's scene, cut by the studio for being "too confusing" for 1940s audiences with its Inception-like camera-work, was multiple-level cut-away ballrooms with swinging camera work following each floor and simultaneously tracking the dancers as they dance.....

Bedknobs and Broomsticks had a song sequence that was cut out, and it was the most sought after scene when remastering for the extended edition. It was never found though, and is the only scene missing from the extended edition.

My great grandfather claimed to have seen The Miracle Man (the lost Lon Chaney film) and said it was one the most amazing films he had seen at that point, sadly we'll never see it

The rumor about the Dr. Strangelove screening with the pie fight done shortly after Kubrick's death might make sense. Top level film buffs looking at a version of the film that his will ordered destroyed. Who could resist taking a peek before it was consigned to oblivion.

"A Night At The Opera" - the print that we get to see these days is a reissue print from the WWII era in which they removed all footage revealing that the story starts off in Italy. This is why the music abruptly stops at the end of the opening credits.

My reaction during this whole video: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

There are so many movies with lost deleted scenes that I'd love to see: the first two Power Ranger movies, the first Ninja Turtles movie, pretty much any horror movie that had to get trimmed to get an R rating, the Eric Stoltz version of Back to the Future, the Black Friday version of Toy Story, the list goes on and on

I heard that Goodfellas had around 40 minutes of footage cut from it in order to avoid an NC17 rating for violence. My dark side would love to see it.

London After Midnight, although not just missing one scene, could probably fit into this category as well. I love that Turner Classic Movies used the stills and script to kind of remake the film, but I just would've loved to see the film in its entirety.

Thank God the Scarecrow's dance survived. If anyone hasn't scene it go watch it because Ray Bolger is amazing.

Really enjoying your channel, only found it today. I'm in my mid 50s and have been a film/movie buff since about 7,when I saw my first movie "Mckennas Gold" at an outdoor screening in Lagos, Nigeria. The next was "Mary Poppins" in an actual cinema,in Lagos, (where we had to sit with our feet on the seats,because of rats!) - they'd showed the film out of order 2nd reel ,first etc - a mess, utterly. ..though , it made me ask and understand the process and start seeing behind the illusion. We then lived when i was 9 - 12 in Westport,Conn,USA. There we actually had Bette Davis as a close neigbour and Paul Newman&Joanne Woodward and Rock Hudson living nearer the beach at the end of our road, my parents took us to social events where these amazing Stars mingled incognito; Ms Davis would help out making xmas decorations for the xmas fair! Hooked,i started reading biographies/film history books etc and started a Film Club at school when I was 13/14 (North London, in the mid 70s) ... obviously the works of Mr Wells, we're on the list. "Ambersons" ,turned up in a variety of reels and it took us the afternoon to sort it out to be able to screen it properly. There were multiple reels,some with very little film in as well as the actual film,labeled and numbered. I think we would have got it through Samuelsons Film Services (as one of the grandsons of the founder of the company was at my school),we also had other family connections through boys at the school and it was not unusual to see a film that had yet to be released "Missouri Breaks - a very long version,that was definitely not thevone i saw later in the cinema..AND the original version of "The Shinning" you mention, BEFORE it was actually released,cut,in the cinemas in UK! ... The film I'd most like to see the complete and uncut version of again would be "Saturn3" ;having had the great pleasure of actually going on set and meeting Kirk Douglas (one of my best friend's stepfather was a fill producer and friend;the day we turned up Mr Douglas was doing his lines to camera and Farrah Fawcett had actually turned up (not in shot or costume) to help with the scene -a very professional thing to do,many actors just leave it to a stand in. We had a wonderful time at Shepperton Studios,seeing the sets and the robot. Then drove back into London with them and had dinner. I still treasure my signed photograph of Ms Fawcett (the only signature/photo I've ever asked for,I was SO starstruck -she was lovely). We later got to see a first cut of the film including the "sexy costume" and I don't know how much more - all now missing from the two cuts of the film I've seen. Looking forward to more of your fascinating videos, thank you for all your hard work. Wishing you all the best.

Back to the Future: Eric Stoltz edition

I swear there was a quick scene right at the beginning of Avatar (2009) where there was a brief shot of Jake Sully as a little boy watching the first footage from a probe that went to Pandora. He was with his brother and their mom and dad walk in. The whole room and all of the furniture was white. The scene was narrated by a grown up Jake saying he dreamt of Pandora ever since he saw the footage. It was the the Odeon Leicester Square at release week. No one i know has seen it and i'm starting to think i'm going crazy.

Greed by Erich von Stroheim. People have said that the 9 hour cut of Greed was the greatest movie ever made, and it was accidentally thrown away by a person working in the film vaults. It's too bad, and there is also a great story to tell about that

Loved spotting footage of James Rolfe's collection being used at the beginning of this video!

For me, I'd want to finally see the lost footage from 1992's "Death Becomes Her" by Robert Zemeckis. There was tons of stuff cut from the film, including Tracy Ullman's entire performance as Bruce Willis' mistress Toni, as well as an original ending that's never seen the light of day. I know they had to do several reshoots to hone it down to the darker version we see today.

Considering they've still got all the audio, I'm just waiting for the day where technology is good enough (we're almost there) and MGM is willing to invest a LOT of money, and the Jitterbug sequence can be remade with digital manipulation on the actors' faces to recreate Judy Garland and the others. It could definitely be done.

William Friedkin's Cruising with Al Pacino. 40 minutes cut and lost. James Franco even made a film that 'recreates' the lost footage called "Interior: Leather Bar".

I saw Gladiator with my father in the theater and when I got it on DVD I was aware that some footage had been taken out. The trip to Spain and a couple of other sequences seemed shorter. I would also bring to your attention that nearly twenty minutes of Lost Horizons was cut after a poor reception at the first screening. The director literally burned the scenes away and it really irks me because it may have really set the tone better. It was a sequence involving a riot in either Afghanistan or Pakistan and the people had to flee, thus getting them onto the plane. I think it would have added more to the contrast that they experienced in Shangri-La.

I saw The Shining on its opening night in NY so I saw the deleted scene. I am not sure whether its presence really helped the movie as I have seen the movie several times since. Still, I would like the chance to see it again to refresh my memory.

I must say that, while I don't know if it's been destroyed, I'm pretty sure it hasn't been released--at least no where I can find... the scene I've always wanted to watch would be the scene where they attempt to execute Sallah in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the German soldier lets him go. All involved have said it was brilliant, but it's never been released to my knowledge.

I would love to see a proper extended cut of Mad Max 2 (aka The Road Warrior.) A longer and more graphic version was cut to meet Australian ratings requirements. That version was further cut for some foreign markets. America among them. (The scene where wez removes the crossbow bolt from his arm, for example.) Additionally, there is a "lost" version that was recut for tv with added scenes, scenes shot from a different p.o.v., etc.

As a WC Fields fan I was stunned and delighted when Tales Of Manhattan was released on video with his originally cut and "lost" sequence restored intact... supposedly. Only problem is, the stills from the sequence previously published in movie books show Fields in completely different situations! Oh, and Beatle fans are lucky to have all of A Hard Days Night! Walter Stenson told me that when he went to get the master reels for restoration he found that they had been chopped up to make the trailers for the film's release! He had a lot more work to do than he had expected!

I remember a scene in "Reanimator" where Dr. Hill uses some kind of hypnotic gaze to turn Halsey against Cain's relationship with his daughter. Years later when the film was released on DVD the scene had been removed and there were several other small changes made. It's been many years since I last saw it so this scene may have been restored or included as a bonus in subsequent releases.

1931's _Dracula_ had an epilogue wherein Van Helsing talks to the theater audience, which was removed and destroyed upon re-release for violating the Hayes Code. This may just be the Mandela Effect, but when I saw _The Empire Strikes Back_ on first release and we see the back of Vader's head, and I distinctly remember his head being basically a round bright red ball. In every version I've seen since then it has been the back of David Prowse's head in prosthetic burn makeup.

So studio meddling has been ruining films for decades.

I can't believe the Shining was originally nominated for a Razzie. It's such a classic. I feel like it could be possible to have one of these reappear. Metropolis, one of my favorite movies, was thought to have lost footage but they found a reel of it in a library in South America. That was a miracle in itself.

I hope they can find a print in good condition of some of these missing film scenes. I know there have been a fair number of films over the years that were though to be lost and then miraculously showed up somewhere. I'd love to see the "Over the Rainbow" reprise in The Wizard of Oz, as well as the missing scenes from Gone With the Wind that were permanently altered in the 1954 reissue.

I saw Jaws in the UK on it's release around 12 times. in those days we would duck down behind our chairs and await the next showing. Now I distinctly remember the scene at the autopsy of the first victim when Hooper first arrives being a little longer. He actually lifts the girls arm out of the plastic box and explains what and why he believes it was a shark attack. However, in every copy of the movie I have ever bought, including blu-ray etc has no missing or cut scene ofthis included. The scene now has a nasty edited peice of dialogue which you can tell has been cut poorly. does anyone else remember this?

No way in Heaven or Hell we'll ever see it, but I'd most like to see the near-four hour long director's cut of Dune. Frank Herbert solidly endorsed THAT cut, but the studio screwed with it so much that now David Lynch claims to have forgotten the ENTIRE filming. I still think the two-hour cut is a great movie (the three hour TV "Alan Smithee" cut only made it worse), but Lynch is THE most visionary and ideosyncratic film maker of our time. To see the Dune that he REALLY made would be incredible!

Small criticism: This is so well researched, written, edited, and produced, you don't need a music bed running under the whole thing. I found it distracting from what you were saying. Most of the music is a short repeating loop. Even if it wasn't, 11 minutes is really long to have an unbroken bed. Just fade it out after you get going, fade it back up for your out. Thanks!

I want to see the half hour of footage they had filmed with Buddy Ebsen as the Tin Man before he got sick. They reshot all the scenes with Jack Haley. Buddy can still be heard singing on two of the We're Off To See The Wizards as it was going to be too costly to go back and rerecord the vocals. The only reason they did it for If I Only Had A Heart was because they changed the dance sequence up to fit Jack Haley.

Did you use footage of The Angry Video Game Nerds movie collection in the start there?

Absolutely love this type of content.

After watching this video, I found my old wizard of oz vhs. On the back it says ‘this limited edition is capped off by an extraordinary compilation of film clips and reconstructed musical numbers. Featured are Ray Bolger’s scarecrow dance sequence (cut from film), the dress rehearsal film and complete soundtrack of the excised ‘the jitterbug’ production number’ it also goes on saying it includes the original recording of ‘if I only had a heart’, the original trailer and rare film clip of Judy garland accepting her 1939 Oscar. It says that it runs for 113 minutes

Stanley Kubrick got a Razzie nomination for The Shining. If that doesn't prove that these award shows are complete bollocks, I don't know what does.

When I was growing up, I realized that my video tape copy of Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer was different from the one my daycare had. Idk why, or which one was newer.

I know Waterworld has a lot of extra footage that essentially makes the movie much better for it, it's just long. I think I saw a restored version they used on TV at one point and I was like wait where these shots come from? Also the extended release of dances with Wolves is inspiring to say the least. If you have never seen it please try to find the extended DVDS they released and you will find the movie a far better picture then the original already was. A lot of movies I have seen through the years when they hit TV had added footage so they could fill an hour with commercials and such. When you mix those in with the original and take out commercials it's almost always a real treat to watch.

I love your videos. They're epic. You learn a lot from them and I love the clips you use to emphasize your point.

The Magnificent Ambersons, no contest.

Metropolis is another one with missing footage. Also the "Man Who Laughs" was missing scenes and its original soundtrack. I watched "The Man Who Laughs" a few years back on KZfaq and the person had to use the "Batman 89" soundtrack since it didn't have one. It was good though. Would be curious to see the original one though as its my favourite silent film.

Their is also new rare footage of the shining. All it shows is Wendy carrying Danny, but every single other copy of the scene was burned by Kubrick. It’s currently on auction, as well as jacks burgundy jacket, and is going for a few thousand dollars.

Not to mention the bit of unseen Wizard of Oz footage of Buddy Ebsen playing Tinman and Dorothy in her blond wig. It'd be pretty cool to see how Buddy played Tinman before the accident and re-casting.

I'd love to see the excised "Flash Gordon" dream sequence from "A Christmas Story". It's been talked about and even the actors from the sequence are in the mentioned in the credits.

What about the sixth greatest British movie of all time, the "Citizen Kane of horror movies", The Wicker Man(original 1973)???? Amazing movie with an astonishing story. Sir Christopher Lee considered it his favorite and finest work. After the film was finished, the new studio owners wanted to to show they didnt give a shit about their predecessors film, so they edited the crap out of it and tried to bury it. When it came out, the acclaim was virtually unanimous; One of the Greatest pictures ever filmed. When Christopher Lee and the producers tried to restore the original film cuts (Lee "it would have been ten times as good"), they found the original film negatives had been LITERALLY buried, and ended up in the pylons that support the newly constructed M4 Motorway! WiTF?????

I saw the original "The Godfather". It included a visit to old Genko's hospital room, on the night of Connie's wedding. Dark, foreboding and sounding like an old Italian's room, the scene funneled my mood into dread. The authentic atmosphere of that film hit me hard. I could smell my grandmother's house when I watched it. Personally, the scene was valuable to me. Maybe they cut it cause it didn't move the plot along.

This is probably my favorite new and coming KZfaq channel. Keep up the good work!

You overlooked "Lost Horizons", which has been so hacked up and lost that what you can see doesn't make much sense. I think I saw a full audio version but with several missing visual scenes on PBS several years ago.

Back to the Future, Eric Stoltz footage!

Brilliant channel you have here, I just stumbled upon it. After a few viewings of your content a subscription was warranted.

Your videos are insane man. Good job, you've earned yourself a subscriber.

The movie Kate and Leopold wasn't as significant as these movies but I saw it when it first came out and they changed it. Between the time the movie was originally released and the release of the DVD the relationship between Leopold (Hugh Jackman) and Stuart (Liev Schreiber) was changed from genetic (ancestor and descendent) to chance meeting. The fact that Stuart and Kate were previously in a relationship was thought to be incestuous by the studio so they cut the scene where Stuart spoke about his ancestor being the man he followed through time. I liked the revelation, it made the movie more of a destiny than a fluke.

Von Stroheim's "Greed" was far longer than the version we have. Most of the cut scenes were lost.

Fantastic video. One thing you left out (and forgive me if someone else mentioned it in the prior comments, which I didn't have time to wade through): There is, in the trailer for 'The Magnificent Ambersons', a very brief, two-blink-long shot from what was almost certainly the original final scene, with Joseph Cotten and Agnes Moorehead. It's the only trace of the lost footage extant.

Also Steve Baron's original cut of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), is missing a ton of footage, that I saw in an original theatrical screening on it's opening day. Some of this has been documented and screenshots exist, but I know I saw many of these scenes, because I vividly remember seeing them BEFORE I ever used the internet or even heard about any other cuts and scenes existing. Many of the cut scenes that i've heard or seen or read about, I know i've watched long before.

Also, if I'm not mistaken I seem to remember Han Solo shot first
