I think Spielberg had deleted scenes with commentary on the Close Encounters DVD, so........you never now.
You know i have a story similat to this. I one of my great grandfathers is from yugoslavia and when hitler took ooooooooooover his country he was drafted against his will into his army,so was the rest of his company, and he was ordered to shoot a jewish man,My great grandfather refused(because he wasnt a racist or anything,he was just a nice man with morals,and knew no ones life is worth more than anothers life)and was about to get shot when his whole company backed him up.And they wouldnt shoot the whole company.LVskywalker said:I would love to see Sallah's execution scene. I remember Spielberg saying, that it would have been the most emotional scene in the whole movie, and that the young german soldier (a german tourist) did a wonderful acting job.
Hopefully they'll be released on DVD sometime.
At least I remember a quote about Spielberg's style of shooting, I guess it's from the bonus material on the DVD and it's the editor Michael Kahn uttering it - I paraphrase:Indy's Fist said:Is there any reason why the deleated scenes were not on any of the DVD releases? I for one would love to see them as well as some alternate scenes.
martinland said:'There are no "deleted" scenes as Steven is very economical with setups. All scenes scripted are in the film, there are a couple of trimmed shots here and there and that's about it.'
Maybe it has been this way since Raiders?
Crack that whip said:I think it's more of a Lucasfilm thing; note the absence of long-craved deleted scenes from the DVD releases of the original Star Wars movies
Sakis said:No, he will call it "Ultimate Edition".
ProfessorChaos said:All these scenes were in the comcis and/or novels of the films, but not in the films themselves. Were they deleted scenes, I wonder? Here is what I recall...
1. Temple of Doom - Shorty sees guard awaken from Black Sleep:
When he is brought to the mines after being captured, Short Round sees a guard burn his leg and awaken from the Black Sleep of Kali. He is dragged off by other guards, and this reveals how Short Round learns it is pain that can awaken someone from Kali's spell. Which is why he burns Indy, way later on.
2. Temple of Doom - Willy gets captured by Chatter Lal:
Willy Scott and Short Round go back through the cave as Indy is going to try and get the Shankara Stones. Willy makes her way back to her room in the palace and runs into Chatter Lal, whom she tells how she just saw some guy get boiled in lava while she is complaining. Chatter Lal then says to her: "Yes, Miss Scott... we did!" and he takes her prisoner. Short Round is captured by Thugee guards at this point, and Indy gets captured shortly after this occurs.
3. Raiders - Indy clings to the periscope on the U-Boat:
Indy was clinging to the periscope of the Nazi U-Boat while it was on it's way to the island. It never submerged, which explained how Indy survived the trip.
4. Raiders - Marion kisses Indy at the bar:
Indy is about to leave the bar and returns. Marion says to him: "I still don't know if I can trust you. You said you'd come back last time." Indy says: "And so, I have." to which she replies: "Yeah. Come Here." So, he complains at her tone, saying: "Bossy, aren't you?" and she says: "That's right. Give me a kiss. It's time I started calling the shots in this relationship." She kisses Indy, then tells him: "Leave the money here.", at which point Indy walks out of the bar.
5. Raiders - Marion explains Abner's death:
When Indy initially asks her about Abner, Marion explains that he was killed in an avalanche when a snowstorm hit. Indy is very shocked to hear this detail.
6. Raiders - The Imam explains the perils of the Ark:
When he is examining the Headpiece to the Staff of Ra, the Imam explains to Indy and Sallah that they must never touch the Ark directly nor look upon it's contents, for to do so is death. This is how Indy knows to keep his eyes shut at the end... and, why he and Sallah use the poles to lift the Ark in the Well.
When Sallah first sees the Ark, he reaches out to touch it. Indy has to stop him before he does, and he mentions the Imam's warning to not ever touch it.
7. Last Crusade - Donovan's men kidnap Indy:
Indy is walking outside the college. Donovan's men pull up in the car and tell him to come with them. They pull out a gun, forcing Indy to come along.
8. Last Crusade - Sallah smacks a camel:
While Marcus and Sallah are trying to get away at the train station, Sallah smacks a camel, causing it to spit on the Nazis. Sallah then fights the Nazis.
9. Last Crusade - Indy punches a guard:
After Hitler autographs the Grail Diary, Indy has to punch a guard who shows up and questions what he is doing there. Indy then steals the guard's uniform.
10. Last Crusade - Death of the Flying Ace:
The World War I Flying Ace who is trying to impress people on the Zeppelin is, along with some Gestapo agents, killed when they try to get another of the planes flying to try and catch Indy and his father when they escape on the plane. The drunken Flying Ace accidentally causes his own plane to crash.
I can't help but wonder if this is true. It would seem a definite possibility that the footage that ended up on the cutting room floor was simply disposed of. That said, being one who loves to speculate about some aspects of Indy's background, I'd love to see any lost scenes that happened to be preserved, even though it would mean shelling out more cash to Uncle George and Company.NoCamels said:Not to rain on anyone's parade, but there's always the possibility that any deleted scenes no longer exist. Nobody thought of keeping them around for DVD releases back in the '80s.
Dewy9 said:I always wanted to see the part of the Marshall College chase where they end up on the football field. I have no idea if this was ever filmed, but it would be cool to see.
NoCamels said:(If you weren't into unicorns, Tom Cruise, or fantasy in the '80s, don't feel too bad about missing Legend. Unless you want to see Tim Curry as the evil demonic Darkness, or you have to see every movie directed by Ridley Scott.)
