It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World! - ALL Deleted/Extended Scenes 

Even the sound effects of that crappy plane were hilarious. Best comedy movie ever made.

One can still get the main point that is dwarfed by the comedy of it all: The insanity and ridiculousness of greed.

There will never be a movie ever again like the original this movie is a true classic in every way!!!!!!!!!!..

I remember back in December '63 the owner of the local theater in Norwalk Ohio ran this movie and it was FREE to everyone who waned to come and watch it. Those were the days folks..

13:45 As of 2024, Barrie Chase (playing Sylvester's dancing girlfriend) is the only actor still alive. [ info: Eddie Rosson, who played the young boy who led Phil Silver's character astray, died at age 38. ]

My favorite movie of all time!

Luv it....this was like a time capsule from (1963)....the background, cars, stores, etc.......!!

And Sid Caesar said in his autobiography - when he was using the sledgehammer on the door HE DID break through, so the stagehands had to reinforce it.

The scenes of police surveillance puts such a different perspective on it, it seriously changes the story.

Top cat and choo choo in the wrecked gas station

The gas station was sitting on land that belonged to a friend of Stanley Kramler. He talked his friend into using the land for the movie. A week later the owner and his wife drove by and saw the gas station on his property and believed it was there permanently...next time he drove by the gas station was destroyed.

if they released a dvd that included every bit of known footage and audio ever found and known to exist I'd totally buy it.

I saw the original release of this in New York in Cinerama. One of the 5 funniest movies ever made.

That's my grandfather's Shell station @ 4:12! That is so cool! I've seen this movie many times, but had no idea they shot anything in downtown 29 Palms.

These shorts don't do the movie justice, a wonderful classic that i always recommended watching

I did see an airing years back that included many of the deleted scenes in place, and it seems to hold the story together more, and completed the plot a bit further.

I grew up with the Laserdisc version of this movie and it was all I knew. When I later saw it on TV and DVD, I was thoroughly confused by all the missing parts.

ONe very interesting gem regarding the radio voices - a few of them are unmistakenly voiced by Walter Matthaw.

When this movie was first released I thought it was the fourth in a series, and I wondered how I had managed to miss "It's a Mad World", "It's a Mad, Mad World" and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World".

This is my favourite comedy of all time. Its brilliant, very funny movie

Hey Chief I took your hat to the dry cleaners and they say it's Rooned! 🤣

It depicts the America I longed to go to as a kid growing up in grey, dull Manchester UK. I finally got there in 1999. Too bad it had changed unrecognisably. The 1950’s and 1960’s were the best decades in living memory

What is the most iconic films of all time the stars you could ever imagine. They were all absolutely hilarious in their characters my favorite was Jonathan Winters😂❤

Ever since I saw the deleted phone conversation between Capt. Culpepper and Buster Keaton, I've thought it was wrong to have taken it out.

It's amazing how many entertainers were in this film❤️

The deleted shots from the gas station destruction scene really make the police in this film sink to a new low, as they’re actually watching the chaos the whole time and never lift a finger to stop Jonathan Winters and save those poor mechanics.

" Did you all hear what Moma said!?!"

Every time I see this movie and see the scene at the Pike in Long Beach, it brings back memories being a kid there riding the Cyclone Racer Roller Coaster. Such a great amusement park.

Love this movie 🍿 never gets old. Brilliant. Could have been longer, they made Kramer shorten it.

1963 Academy Awards nominees for best supporting actress: PATTY DUKE (winner) The Miracle Worker MARY BADHAM To Kill a Mockingbird SHIRLEY KNIGHT Sweet Bird of Youth ANGELA LANSBURY The Manchurian Candidate THELMA RITTER Birdman of Alcatraz Ethel Merman certainly deserved a nomination and IMHO deserved the Oscar.

Can you imagine the hullabaloo over casting this film? Every agent in Hollywood must have been on it. Who got the big parts, and who small, who just a cameo? Some of it was dictated by availability, but the egos involved must have seen the number of their lines/centrality to the plot as a proxy for their popularity and reputation.

Thanks for posting this!- only have the older standard DVD release that doesn't include this. Ethel Merman as usual had the audacity to fire "shut ups" at everyone with her OWN big mouth.

You can buy the movie with the 202-minute extended version sold by the Criterion Collection.

The RU-vid ads every minute are a pain in that ass. F* RU-vid

I believe it was 1972 when I saw this movie at a theater. I had been out of the hospital for three days after having my appendix out. Imagine laughing so hard with stitches in your side. Makes me feel old, I was 16.

Merman steals the picture.

The chickens coming out of the cockpit…😂😅

As a 10-year-old in the mid-70s I would tape record movies off TV with my Panasonic cassette recorder, dutifully pausing it during commercials. I would go to sleep listening to them. This one required several cassettes! Like Hitchcock and the Bond movies, it was so exciting to anticipate the ABC Sunday Night Movie so that I could capture my faves!

The guy in the smashed gas station is wearing gloves because one hand is broken. You can see the bump of the cast on the left hand under the sleeve.

heh. I sat through 3 1/2 hours to see one of Buster Keaton's last performances. And so here I am now. This film is so quirky, part of it's appeal is the sheer endurance of watching it. Surely these few scenes were cut as a token gesture- notwithstanding that these scenes are all relevant to narrative continuity. Eg, in the Criterion version, Sylvester is an unemployed lay-about driving an expensive sports car. Does anybody know if any car chase footage was edited? Perhaps before 1963, car chases represented too much production cost.

I tried showing this movie to my fiancé at the time, she wasn’t interested. Needless to say, we did not get married.

Would've been a (4-hour/+) movie with every scene....😅...!!

Can you imagine the jokes behind the scenes? What a great time to be on a movie set

If these priceless scenes had been included, the movie would have been even better.

Stan Freberg has said they cut his lines out …

I absolutely love this movie. We load on devices to play in the car on road trips.

This ties up a lot of loose ends. Til now I never knew that the girl Sylvester was with was married to someone else, or that he took HER car

Widescreen format trivia: Original CINEMASCOPE* 1953 to 1957 approx. 2.55:1 - First release THE ROBE PANAVISION 1957 to the present - 2.35:1 ULTRA PANAVISION* 2.76:1 - BEN HUR, It’s a Mad Mad World, Mutiny on the Bounty, Khartoum, Battle of the Bulge, The Greatest Story Ever Told, How the West Was Won (3 camera Cinerama). *All movies in these formats had 3 separate tracks for dialogue L/Centre/R, a novelty sadly done away with when all dialogue began to be fixed to a central point.

My Dad told me a story about this film he went to see it with his brother my Uncle Allen and he laughed so much he was begging my please make then stop his side’s hurts so much from laughing it was for me as a kid In Sydney to see all those wonderful American cars if the sixties I still watch it on dvd it’s my favourite comedy love it.❤

There is other missing scenes not included here. Many scenes were found in Culver city during a demolition. A safe was discovered with numerous reels full of trims. The one that stands out is where Don Knotts forces himself into a cafe phone booth occupied by Reta Shaw. She loses her temper is starts strangling Knotts with the phone cord. Hope we gather all together one day

Made the year I was born. I love this movie and watch it every once in a while. I got some 20 and 30 year olds to watch it and they hated it.

I know people are saying the phone call scene with Jimmy/Buster Keaton should have been left in, but I see why they cut it. I think leaving it out makes it more impactful when Culpepper/Spencer Tracy steals the money since we don't know for certain that he will do it.

I hope they made extended edition versions to have a full laugh 😆

Some of the deleted scenes I am glad were deleted, as they were lame, and not important enough to add another 30+ minutes needed. Some little snippets and dialogue would have been good to add. The arguing scene at the side of the road devolved into unintelligible shouting, so I'm glad that was deleted. But I am pleased to see these other deleted scenes, good and bad after 59 years when first seeing the film in Jan. 1964.

Thanks for posting! So awesome!!!

Funniest movie ever made.

“ you’re in no danger they don’t know you “

I have seen a version where they added back in edited sxenes and even still phots firm scene cut but had the audio playing. Thats the best version for me. My alltime favoite movie and i watch in dozens of times a year 😅

Thank you for Posting this.. I really enjoyed it!

My all time faverite movie

Mad mad mad mad...was around 4 hours long..was pared down by Kramer in a directors cut and then again at the studios insistence. This movie features virtually the who is who of comedy in the 20th century up to that time..Keaton Ben Blue..as such Kramer had to realize that this assembly of talent probably would never occur again. The performances were priceless. So it seems unlikely that the cut footage would have been tossed. It seems like it was found in that safe in Culver City. I saw this movie when i was about 11 years old during its first run in 1962. I never laughed as hard..I do think the ending chase of Culpepper culimating with the building was forced and a bit of a let down. Other than that genius.

This is great. Thanks for uploading this.

It’s a thank, thank, thank, thank, you!

Thank you for posting

Cuts are a fact of life in comedy. There's an old story regarding the producer of the Marx Brothers' "A Night at the Opera," where he was watching the rushes and in the famous state room scene on the ship, he yelled out "CUT," saying that prolonging a hysterical scene will ruin it. I know this will be sacrilege to some here, but I find the movie pacing a lot better when watching at home if I skip over the entire hardware scene. It's just too long without any laughs and the inaction stops the movie dead in its tracks. Some of the service station destruction can also go, much as I revere Jonathan Winters.

1:26 seems to establish a fair prediction of how these characters will proceed. By cutting this scene out, it takes a little longer to establish that everyone is in it for themselves (except the 2 wives who seem to be the only sane ones in the bunch). Good choice for pacing.

What will it be like if "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" has two versions? One would've been the original 210 version and the theatrical version.

They were all fantastic. But the energy and timing seems lightly off when you view what Stanley knew was top grade, and every cut wasn't a charm. He knew it. Nobody's fault. That's show biz.

They should've left Buster Keaton's scenes in it.

Fantastic scenes that should have been in the picture! This film and Seven Days in May could have and should have won Best Picture of 1963, because Tom Jones is not nearly as good, and that's a fact!!!!!

That's some hardware store!!

Okay, so now I see that the girl Sylvsester was with was married and that was her hubby's car he took, not his own. Let's hope her hubby wasn't a Simpson type.

I had read somewhere online that Phil Silvers character Otto was a out of work business man. That might explain why he was so greedy. And he tells them at the gas station the Ford car is one of the fleet. So he must have been successful to have several cars before he lost his job.

Mid ‘90’s had a lot of comedic talent and was fun to consider the new casting. Today: forget it.

17:03 Check out those three Star Wars robot heads.

sometimes the extended or deleted scenes may even add extra context

Thanks very much appreciate your efforts.

Zany crazy - Phil Silvers, Buddy Hackett, Jonathan Winters, Milton Birll, Spencer Tracy and a cast of similarly talented stars…. The two gas station attendants would later find fame (Not sure about fortune) doing cartoon character voices for Hanna-Barbarra studios, such as Boo-Boo Bear

More dance footage of Sylvester and his girlfriend that SHOULD have been included 13:41-14:00! Sylvester in those scenes is one definition of "enjoying life and living in the moment"! He's a legend in my mind!

To be honest it doesn’t look like many important scenes were lost. Still wish they were not cut

@23:52 -- Berle split his pants. I never noticed that before.

Gawd, I love this movie! ❤️❤️❤️

Get the blu ray version it is brilliant.

"un monde fou,fou,fou", c'est le titre français. J'avais bien rigolé.

Barrie Chase!

It's very cool to see these scenes, but I never felt it was any atrocity to have them edited out. Not particularly great scenes.

They cut out scenes of Barrie Chase in a bikini? Well that was a mistake.

Would this be the WHOLE film if this was added to all known cuts?

“Hit him again…oh I couldn’t..!” I do have to say that I wish they had left that in..😂

One of the best films ever just so good all round 😂😂😂

"MAMA!!!!!!!!"

What a fantastic movie 👍🤣🤣

Fills in most of the gaps 😮😅😊

This is great but you're missing one of my favorite scene intros. It's when Phil Silvers says "You all get a lot of action out here? Why don't you more closer to the city? You'll do more business." And then Jonathan Winters peddles in on the bike. Years ago I rented the first DVD release and it included even more footage on the second bonus disc including Edie Adams falling over the bench without sound. I'm glad to see the audio still existed and could be reinstated. There was also more Twin Beach footage including Benji and Dink praying "Now I lay me down to sleep" while flying the plane. I wish I would've bought that version. Maybe it was a transfer of the Laser Disc version? I've never seen the Laser Disc version though. Also, there appears to have been 2 different masters made for this movie. The one with the green intertitles has been the one used for years from the 1991 partially restored home video version 'til the Criterion Blu Ray release which is from the master released to the public originally. I don't know that the green intertitle version was ever released until the 1991 home video release. I liked that master better, truthfully, because I preferred the green intertitles over the red plus the colors were better. Things that are green in the public release are blue on this master like Mr. Finches jeep or Pikes moving van. Also some people had blue eyes in that version. Plus this bluer version had a happier more pleasant feel to it because of this. Unfortunately the green intertitle version's master supposedly succumbed to vinegar syndrome before a high definition transfer was made from it. If the movie had been rereleased to theaters in 1991 then film transfers would have been made but it was only transfered to standard definition home video. So a theatrical transfer supposedly from Australia had to be used for the Criterion release. I think this outtake footage came from the edited red intertitle version as the Pike's and Finches vehicles are green. A noticeable difference when they reinserted the footage in the 1991 partially restored version with the green intertitles.

Funniest film ever...saw this as a teenager...laughed so hard i nearly had a fit and kick the bucket !!!

I can’t believe they took out 1:10-1:14. Just hilarious.

Funny how it isnt til you watch a movie years later and realize who actors you didnt know at the time you first watched it, like the two cops who show up to the accident scene were Rico from the Untouchables and Mr. Roper from Three's Company

Peter Faulk wanted to drive off and leave Cid Ceasar. A cop wouldn't let him. They had a big argument. It was hilarious. I wish someone could find that scene!

i have the laserdisc edition

Indeed. I have the 1991 Laserdisc, too... and was QUITE annoyed that the BluRay Criterion seemed, in all their research for "elements," never to have noticed the 1991 LASERDISC! There are even AUDIO clips on the Laserdisc that Criterion seemed to lack (and added subtitles to cover the missing audio)! Kinda shameful... and EMBARRASSING... of/for Criterion, if you ask me.
