16. The Apprentice
Star Wars: The Revenge Of The Sith (2005)
Nasty murderful scene of a Jedi being stabbed up by that rasping droid thing, General Grievous (why would you build a robot with asthma?)
Anyway, it’s worth watching for the total lack of chemistry between Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen (their secret hand signals are shonky as hell).
Gives you a warm glow at the thought of Anakin being all burned and crispy at the end.
17. Bumming Out
Ghostbusters (1984)
A Saturday Night Live-flavoured sketchy scene which presumably didn’t fit with the tone of the finished movie.
Shame, because Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd show their character-comedy chops as a pair of Central Park bums throwing back and forth about sport and politics.
18. Thar Be Monsters!
The Goonies (1985)
Now it makes sense! For everyone who grew up watching The Goonies and not understanding why the hell gadget boy Data blurted, "And the octopus was really scary!" at the close, here’s your answer.
Did they even have a continuity guy doing?

I could listen to Tarantino talk for hours.

Now this is what Lucas should be including in the six film Star Wars boxset they say he's been working on for the past couple of years. This does add a little more depth to the story and makes a great film that much better.

Not that T-3 was a good movie, because I pretty much like to pretend it ended after 2 (even if McG does make a good movie, i'll still gladly skip 3) but I disagree, that clip really is bad. It's a little too Paul Verhoeven, which doesn't really fit the theme of the movie. I can see why they left it off. Too bad they couldn't also leave off the bad maths and Arnold doing the talk to the hand thing. http://www.igp-scifi.com

Not that I think T3 is a good movie (because I don't) but that clip is truly awful. It screams Paul Verhoeven which doesn't really fit with the movie. The Star Wars one however is definitely badly needed, unlike, say the wobbly CGI Jabba. http://www.igp-scifi.com

You picked the wrong deleted scene from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." The one that truly should not have been excised is the one in which Raoul Duke drives up to a small country store run by Rance Howard. He finally discovers the American Dream he's been pursuing, and then ends up p**sing it away with his cynicism. It's the lynchpin of the entire story and I'll never figure out why it ended on the cutting room floor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f40Ye9CfgFo

I just wanted to say; well done, this is a genuinely great little feature! Unlike some of the rather "we need to update the site, how about a feature about.. err... movie trainers?!" ones I've seen in recent months :-P

The Kill Bill deleted scene doesn't look like all the effects are complete (the three men standing after being sliced seem to be missing spurting blood; the lead guy with an Aussie accent not yet re-dubbed). The scene is not amazing either. Easy to see why it was cut. And Vol.2 was weak as p**s.

IGP - point taken, but surely being a bit more Verhoeven would've been a good thing? Cartoonist - the scene is strong, but tbh I don't even remember it from the book. Maybe scratched as it was too similar to the cafe scene? Avoidz - well, the effects are supposed to be super-shonky, so it's hard to tell. Think we can probably agree it's better than the rest of Vol. 2 though, right? Padman - cheers! Mostly :)
