In case you're wondering, the Jacob's ladder scene he didn't want to mention was a scene of male-on-male rape, I don't blame the studio one bit for not wanting to show that.
I did see Metropolis 19 years ago at a screening in Hartford after its 2001 restoration, and SOME of the lost scenes were found. It was really cool to watch on a big screen
I'd to see a video of 'media that is lost forever' or something like that. There are many tragic cases of these throughout history, you could include a few more 'recent' (relatively speaking) cases of lost forever media but still I'd love to see the concept come to fruition.
the only example I know would be of those deleted scenes from A Christmas Story; Peter Billingsley hisself stated that admin completely erased those for good.... it can be heartbreaking really
There's so much stuff that's gone forever. Just sticking to film, TV, video games, and the internet, there's more lost media than you'd expect. If you added on books and plays it would likely mean that most media is lost. Over 90% of silent films are lost (this percentage is debatable with numbers ranging from 80-95, most commonly stated as 90% of all silent films from before 1929). A lot of early television is lost. Many famous news broadcasts were recorded over. Many early TV shows were purged. The famous one most people talk about is Doctor Who, but it is hardly the only show that is lost. The NFL doesn't even have all of the super bowls. And the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade lost a lot of its recordings. Then there is media that exists but often in archaic formats that are increasingly difficult to share. The Mary Martin production of Peter Pan exists but is fundamentally lost by virtue of refusal to re-release it and the only home release, a vhs, having been so successfully designed that I have never seen the color version cracked and released as a DVD. The black and white one was. But the color one will eventually be lost when the vhs versions stop working. There's also the cartoons that never got home media release. We have episodes of them, descriptions, but not the whole show. It makes it even harder when the loss is because the studios just won't let us have it.
@@the4tierbridge I'm sure that would be interesting to look at. I'm not an expert by any means on that. But I know my aunt was on a TV show back in the 50's or 60's and the film is long lost, but voice reels exist but NBC has nothing to play them on.
Test footage of the cut Oz song Jitterbug is still in faded form on RU-vid, as well as audio of a dark reprise of Over The Rainbow while Dorothy is trapped in the Witch's castle. Also, surprised there was nothing about the lost Event Horizon scenes or the full 8-hour cut of Greed, since those are like, the holy grail of missing movie bits.
I would definitely like to see the original cut of Event Horizon. I'm not a fan of horror, but it's a really interesting movie with excellent art direction, and I'd like to know what the original vision was
Also, another deleted scene from The Wizard of Oz, there was a parade and celebration in Emerald City which had a reprise of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. Only a few seconds of footage of that scene survives in the trailer.
the deleted scenes were found in a salt mine bc that mine uses its gigantic amount of space to let companies store archives and shit, ive been there and seen a bit of it its pretty cool
So true, although I wonder if he likes being compared? This channel is shaping up to have more tightly themed content than blameitonjorge so I'm excited to see where it goes.
Honestly, one of the scenes I wanna know the most about is The Joker Scene, like how could only 1 Scene be that bad for a Film like The Joker and why don't they wanna talk about it?
My guess is some graphic nudity or sexuality. It's not that those are worse than anything else in the film, but they could probably have a bigger effect on the rating than violence.
media lost intentionally The day the clown cried God's behaving badly The ending of the shinning Media where the person making it wanted it to be covered up or destroyed.
The clown that cried may actually finally get released by 2024 or later by the American Library of Congress as per Jerry Lewis specifications. It is his cut of the movie.
The Salt mines in Kansas are now storage facilities for long term use. The salt actually keeps the air dry, being underground keeps them cool. Apparently, there are tons of Hollywood artifacts and film reels there.
If the director themselves cut something, I'm fine with that. But the studio meddling, the fear of an NC-17, making sure their precious fucking runtime lets them squeeze as many theater showings in a day as possible, fuck all of it. Hell, studios are so obsessed with making money by hurting movies that they seem to not understand they can hold onto all that material and release an uncut version along with the theatrical version on home video.
The Triumphal Return to Emerald City, or just the Reprise of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead, is the most tragic loss of the lost deleted scenes from The Wizard of Oz, the entire soundtrack for that scene survives, only a few seconds of footage of that scene survive in the trailer. The only deleted scene from The Wizard of Oz that remains completely intact is the Scarecrow dance
Great video! Though a brief correction on The Mummy: Going off of memory, only roughly half the visions of Helen's (Zita Johann's) past lives were cut. Part way through the film, there's a scene where she meets Ardeth Bay / Imhotep (Boris Karloff) at his house, where he shows her a vision of his life, and snippets of her past lives. The visions of her lives were taken (at least partially) from a sequence that was shot for the leadup to the climax, where, at the museum where Princess Anck-su-namun's mummy was on display, he shows her her previous reincarnations. And through an amazing story teller -- Watch the making of doc "Mummy Dearest" to hear Gregory W. Mank tell stories and anecdotes she had told him -- Zita Johann doesn't seem to be the most reliable of narrators, and the sequence was cut and combined with the house sequence likely due to just pacing reasons or because it was felt the sequence would be redundant.
I kind of tripped over your channel by chance on my home page. I'm loving it so far, and can't wait to watch more. The videos I've seen thus far have been really well researched and varied. Great job!
If Disney ever released the uncut version of The Black Cauldron, it would probably find more of an audience than the one we ended up with. I'd sure as hell pay to see it.
I always remember the deleted ending on Butterfly Effect, which i believe was removed due to responses from test audiences, but i think it can still be found on RU-vid today.
Here's another scene that you can add to the list. It's not a famous movie, but still missing. The movie Gangster Squad from 2013 has a missing theatre scene cut from it. It was going to be in it, but because of what happened in 2012, it was removed. I thought it would have been added in as a deleted scene in the Blu-ray release or something, but as far as my knowledge goes, it has not been released. Another you can technically add is the Harrison Ford cameo scene in E.T. It was released in the Laserdisc version of the movie, yet has not been released with any other version of the movie since...
What a nice compilation of lost deleted scenes. I hope we find more deleted scenes in the future. By the way, the Horned King sounds fucking awesome in the black cauldron, really best voice performance by the late John Hurt.
I’d love to see a video about more lost horror scenes such as Friday the 13th and Child’s Play. Although not horror films, Hocus Pocus and Casper are also notable examples of Halloween themed films with lost deleted scenes.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly wasn't originally spoken in Italian. Sergio Leone said that it was essentially a silent film that had everyone's lines dubbed over for each language.
There’s definitely has to be deleted scenes for The Lovely Bones that have been filmed but never released, outside of snippets in the trailer and commercials. One in particular was the original version of the killer’s death. When the test audience saw it they wanted him to die more brutally as he falls down the cliff.
Spoilers for Avengers: Age of Ultron: There exists a lost alternate ending to Avengers: Age of Ultron, in Pietro Maximoff survives his gunshot wounds and joins the Avengers alongside Wanda. According to Joss Whedon, this scene was filmed in case Disney didn’t allow him to kill off Pietro at the end. Since Pietro *was* killed in the final cut, this alternate ending has been ultimately lost, and Marvel Studios has never released it to the public (and likely never will).
Consider collabing with PlaguedMoth. I think you guys could do an interesting video on gore lost media. It would be awesome to see two of my favorite “star on the rise” creators working together
@@silversparks4372 Graphic sexual activity during the climactic orgy sequence; The death of Annette (Clementine Ford); the originally scripted scene showed her having her throat slowly pushed onto a pane of glass. The scene was filmed and very brutal, done all in one graphic cut. However, it was later replaced with her character's head split open in the front door. That scene was still trimmed heavily; in unrated versions the top of her head erupts and a splash of blood flies across the doorjamb. Rod (Jesse Bradford)'s death had more blood. Timmy (Keram Malicki-Sánchez)'s death was an on-screen kill that featured gruesome spurting blood. A character's death involving a male character's throat being slashed open at the climatic orgy was nixed for time and MPAA constraints. Looks like according to IMDB it wasn't necessarily related to Columbine, it was just the filmmakers trying to get an R-rating as the film had to be submitted at least five times to finally get one.
One movie with a lot of deleted scenes is The Blues Brothers, which was originally intended to be much longer (possibly over three hours) and include extended versions of songs and extra scenes.
I'd love a Fantastic Four Directors Cut because I feel like Fox screwed over Josh Trank and he had a very unique vision for them that would have been very interesting.
If you go to the Christmas Story house in Cleveland OH you can visit the house that they use as a museum. In one of the rooms they show a costume and a description about the scene. You can even ask the guide about it, it's pretty cool.
Could you do a part 2? I highly recommend looking into Pink Floyd The Wall 1982 deleted scenes. There's one that has young Pink standing on abandoned railroad tracks with a teacher puppet looking down on him. There is only 2 pictures of this deleted lost scene.
The metropolis film in Argentina was known about for years before they went and secured a copy of it, there are also other takes of various scenes which exist but have never been released
In Sam Peckinpahs The Wild Bunch, seems as if there is still footage missing from the scene where the pursuers finds the body of the wounded man killed by Bishop, as there are some stills suggesting that.
Why would the lost 2001 A Space Odyssey footage be in a salt mine let alone someone actually finding it in one? Sounds like a myth but I wouldn't know.
Hmm I think the only one in this list that might be found is probably the joker cut honestly or the suicide squad but I think I’ll be more excited if the joker cut releases
this may be off topic and a little tmi but your vids are really fucking relaxing and are really soothing when im getting the brain zaps from being off my meds
