Bizarre scenes that had to be removed from tv shows

Intro
every movie he has to undergo an editing
process to refine it down to something
that tells a story Mad Max Fury Road
director George Miller famously shot 480
hours of footage that his wife edited
down to a two-hour film not every movie
has to cut so much of course and some
edits are done to appease centers and
Studios rather than just tighten up a
story that said every so often a scene
has to be removed from a film for a
truly perplexing reason and it can
either be to the betterment or the
detriment of the final product
10. Tang girl deleted a kangaroo mutant
Tank Girl Deleted A Kangaroo Mutant Sex Scene
sex scene you might not remember the
1994 Sci-Fi Action comedy Tank Girl
based on a comic book of the same name
starring Lori Petty in the title role
and iced tea is a kangaroo man but it
was a weird one the comic was a true
underground Punk inspired trip of a
story but the adaptation did not achieve
the same aesthetic at all the vagaries
of Hollywood Productions got in the way
and made something still weird but less
appealing to the fan base and non-fans
alike it has a cult following these days
but as is often the case that's code for
the fact that not many people like it
one of the big hurdles for the movie is
the fact that in the source material 10
girl has a sexual relationship with Ice
T's character and including human and
not quite human sex is always risky in a
film the director wanted to go all in on
the comics absurd and overt sexuality
but the film bulked and edited the movie
behind her back that means a kangaroo
man sex scene was dropped despite the
fact that the production spent a few
thousand dollars to make a prosthetic
kangaroo penis for the scene arguably if
anyone had read the comics they would
have known own all of this stuff would
be in the movie and they probably read
the script too maybe just seeing it in
the footage proved to be too much Number
Nine Disney removed a scene from the
Disney Removed A Scene From "The Program" After Someone Died
program after someone died Sports movies
are usually a niche thing but every year
one or two come out that seem to do well
in 1993 Disney was the pairing company
behind the college football movie The
Program critics didn't like it but
audiences seem to appreciate it more but
storyline aside the movie is mostly
famous these days for one specific scene
the movie starring James Khan and Halle
Berry was a dramatic and Grimlock of
college football the famous scene
involved one of the players laying down
on a busy highway reading a magazine
right on the center line as cars sped by
him that sounds stupid maybe but
innocuous enough for a movie right well
the problem was that kids started doing
it in real life two teenage boys were
badly injured and one ended up dying as
a result of trying to recreate the scene
Disney responded by immediately editing
the scene from the film while it was
still in theaters about a month after it
premiered later releases of the film on
DVD Blu-ray and streaming are all devoid
of the scene as well which has been
almost from existence number eight The
Big Bang Theory pilot dropped a scene
"The Big Bang Theory" Pilot Dropped A Scene For Syndication
for syndication heading to the small
screen The Big Bang Theory was one of
the most popular sitcoms of the 2000s
and the awkward Ultra nerd characters
really struck a chord with some
audiences such that it lasted an
impressive 12 Seasons despite the
success there was one scene that was
dropped from the show's pilot episode on
subsequent airings of the show despite
it being available for audiences to view
for a short time the show's Creator
Chuck law axed a scene from that first
episode in which the characters of
Sheldon and Leonard find themselves at a
Sperm Bank you can still find the scene
online and there's nothing intrinsically
unusual about it compared to the rest of
the series at least not on the surface
but if you're a fan of the show and
hadn't seen that scene before it would
definitely strike you as out of
character for Sheldon to be in a sperm
bag the character that the show turns
him into would never have gone to such a
place at all so it made sense to remove
the scene after the fact 7. Ed O'Neill
was edited from a movie because
audiences laughed at him Ed O'Neill Rose
to fame as Al Bundy on Married with
Children a role that clearly defined him
for a good part of his career it wasn't
until Modern Family a full 12 years
later that he found another major role
in film or TV that wasn't lack of trying
either Al Bundy really ruined his shot
at being taken seriously as an actor a
fact that was best displayed on The
Cutting Room floor of the movie Flight
of the Intruder Flight of the Intruder
was a 1991 action film made of what was
arguably the height of O'Neill's famous
Al Bundy his role in the movie wasn't
even a big one just a quick scene he
wasn't even being credited with but
audiences in test screenings laughed
when he showed up on scene because to
them Al Bundy had just appeared out of
nowhere there was such a problem that
the scene had to be deleted and then
re-shot with a different actor 6. box
FOX Cut Scenes From "The Predator" That Featured A Sex Offender
cut scenes from The Predator that
featured a sex offender Shane black is
not the most prolific filmmaker but he
does make a splash with his movies
Black's first film as director was Kiss
Kiss Bang Bang and he went on to direct
Iron Man 3 in the Predator while also
writing some beloved Classics like the
Monster Squad and Lethal Weapon Black's
work on the Predator was not
particularly well received critically
but the movie did receive press for
reasons that no one especially Fox the
studio behind the film wanted black
casted actor in the movie named Steven
Wilder strigal previously striggle had
been in blacked Iron Man 3 and the nice
guys he never played a major role in the
film and was cast because he and black
were buddies in real life he was also a
sex offender in the movie he had a very
short scene where he tried to hit on
Olivia Munn's character in Austin just a
minute or two it was man herself who
discovered the actor's history and then
told the studio strigal as it turned out
had pled guilty to trying to lure a 14
year old girl on the internet black was
aware of struggle's past as he had been
when he cast him in those other films
and claimed he was just trying to help
out a friend Fox for their part cut ties
with struggle immediately and deleted
his scene 5. deleted frames make the
Deleted Frames Make The "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" Villain Look Like He Eats A Bug
Raiders of the Lost Ark villain look
like he eats a bug Indiana Jones and the
Raiders of the Lost Ark is a hugely
popular film that's still a standout
classic even today one of the more
Infamous scenes in the film features the
villainous Bella played by Paul Freeman
talking to Harrison Ford's Jones in the
scene a fly lands on Bella's lip and
then seems to crawl into his mouth you
don't see it fly out again and it seems
like a character or rather the actor
actually ate the bug in reality a fly
did land on Freeman's face and director
Steven Spielberg looked at it as an
opportunity the couple of frames of
footage were deleted from the final
scene just enough to hide the fact that
the flight flew away and instead it
makes it look like he eats it The Sound
team for the movie even included a more
noticeable buzzing in the scene as well
to really Hammer the effect home as
something of a joke on the unseenly
character the poor several minutes were
cut from Rain Man when it was shown on
airplanes in the movie Rain Man Dustin
Hoffman autistic character shares a
wealth of random knowledge with his
brother in various scenes but one of the
more memorable ones includes the two of
them at an airport with Hoffman rattling
off statistics about airplane crashes as
his brother tries to get him on a Plane
the movie would go on to be very popular
one of Tom Cruise's biggest hits of the
80s and as was common for any popular
movie of the time it was commonly shown
in in-flight entertainment on planes but
Noah wants to be on a plane listening to
someone explain how often plane crashes
kill people so 15 Airlines ended up
editing the movie to remove the scene so
no one on board would get stressed out
as they watched it not showing them in
the airport does alter the narrative to
a fairly significant degree since it
explains why the characters had to drive
and not fly and the director wasn't
happy about it a lot of context is lost
and later scenes make no sense but
apparently Airlines were more worried
about keeping passengers docile than
fully engaged in the plot Number Three
doctor Strangelove was supposed to end
"Dr. Strangelove" Was Supposed To End With A Pie Fight
with a pie fight Stanley Coupe brings
talk to Strange Love is considered one
of the greatest historical films ever
and it's a classic of the black comedy
genre so it's weird to imagine that the
was another ending that went completely
slapstick and included a pie fight
Kubrick shot the ending scene in which
everyone on set ended up covering
custard he even had a photographer on
set taking pictures which can be found
online but the director ended up not
liking the scene feeling it was out of
place in the greater picture it was
aired for test audiences right around
the time of JFK's assassination as well
and that seemed to have made the whole
thing hit differently he cut the scene
we rode the film's ending and the pie
scene has lived on in infamy having been
aired once in 1999. LaToya Jackson scene
and Bruno was cut when her brother died
Sasha Baron Cohen is not a man known for
having much attacked and subtlety on
camera but we have to remember that
mostly the characters he plays not the
man himself behind the scenes he clearly
has a different mindset as witnessed by
the scene he deleted from his 2009 movie
Bruno Bruno is another of Cohen's
characters who'd like Borat blurs the
line between reality and fantasy in this
case Bruno is an Austrian fashion
journalist who is very openly gay and
inappropriate most of the time there was
to be a scene in the film featuring
Bruno taking Latoya Jackson's bone and
getting her brother Michael's phone
number on the day the movie was set to
Premiere Michael Jackson died in
response to the death the studio cut the
scene very quickly and never restored it
to subsequent releases though it was
available to watch as a special feature
on the DVD release 1. the reason Yukon
Cornelius licks his pickaxe got cut in
1965. you've probably seen the 964
stop-motion Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer movie because they seem to have
aired it literally every year since 1964
multiple times on multiple channels it's
considered a holiday classic and
features the story of the eponymous
reindeer along with some friends
including a fellow named Yukon Cornelius
since 964 audiences have been perplexed
by one aspect of the film relating to
the prospect character of Cornelius the
man is constantly licking the end of his
pickaxe and in the context of the film
it makes no sense whatsoever but that's
only because we lost the scene that
explains it in 1965 there was apparently
a write-in campaign for people who had
watched the movie when it aired the
previous year they wanted more misfit
toys Jules bass one of the producers of
the film recalled that they the movie
and that meant the loss of something
called The Peppermint scene it turns out
in the original broadcast Yukon
Cornelius discovers a peppermint mine
after that he keeps licking his pickaxe
because there's peppermint on it but
with the loss of the scene he just seems
like a bit of a weirdo
