These are the 11 Hollywood movies with explicit scenes that needed to be deleted

Many films that are super popular today would not have been like the final version that ended up in theaters.

Scripts that started one way and went in an unexpected direction; stories that went towards one genre and ended up flirting with a completely different one; scenes that had to be very relevant and which were excluded from the final cut because controversial or offensive. Here we will refer to this last aspect.

I am 11 films They had to contain some interpreted artistic moments and the production didn’t want to risk including them and losing money. The scenes or sequences we mention below were cut during editing, eliminated after the first trailer, or were simply ideas that were never filmed. We see.

It (2017)

When director Cary Fukunaga (responsible for the new Bond series and True Detective) was in charge of the project, the film based on the novel by Stephen King It would have had a different tone.

According to The Telegraph, Fukunaga was betting on high-flying, more atmospheric horror, and Warner was planning to go on the conventional side. This difference in ideas meant that the director gave way to the Argentine Andy Muschietti.

One of the most controversial scenes that Fukunaga wanted to record contained a highly charged scene of child sex as protagonists.

When the director showed the script to the parents of the film’s actors, they flatly refused.

The Avengers (2012)

It is said that Joss Whedon, director of the first Avengers, had to soften the scene in which Loki (Tom Hiddleston) stabs the officer Coulson (Clark Gregg). Plan I would have shown guts and lots of bloodand this did not convince the production.

The decision was logical considering that no film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has the level of violence that other films about Marvel characters that do not belong to that universe have, such as logan OR Dead Pool.

Robocop (1987)

Anyone who has seen Robocop knows that the film Paolo Verhoeven It’s a sea of ​​blood. Two of the most impressive scenes happen during the first half. Then, in the second, the story no longer offers anything similar.

We’re talking about the moment when an uncontrolled robot kills Mr. Kinney (Ken Page) and when the group of criminals attacks Murphy (Peter Weller), the protagonist, leaving him dying.

Both scenes were cut by two seconds so the film could get an “R” rating and be released commercially.

One had to do with Kinney fired and another with a shot of the protagonist’s head flying through the air. In any case, in that scene Verhoeven doesn’t skimp on the mutilations and manages to show only a second of the character’s destroyed arm (the shot would have been longer).

Anti-Gangster Force (2013)

It was 2012. The first trailer showed that the film would feature a terrible massacre inside a cinema. Shortly thereafter, fiction became reality: a man named James Holmes killed 12 people and injured 59 others in a Colorado movie theater. The case was known as the “Aurora Massacre.”

The trailer sequence was also the culmination of Anti-Gangster Force. To the Director Ruben FleischerHowever, he didn’t care and prioritized ethics over sales or quality. He decided to record it again out of respect for the relatives of the victims of the massacre and was satisfied with the result.

Gladiator (2000)

According to Tomatazos, in the moments before his fight against Máximo, a commander reportedly told Commodus (Joaquín Phoenix) that the “Spanish” was loyal to the emperor. This comment would cause the villain so much anger that he would order the execution of a slave.

The scene would have added something more to the rivalry between Commodus and Máximo throughout the film.

The Goonies (1985)

In the outcome of The Gooniesa character remembers one of the most dangerous adventures he has experienced throughout the story It had to do with a run-in with an octopus.

The truth is that the octopus he refers to never appears in any scene. The comment remains vague, floating in the video.

First, Richard Donner He thought about including that octopus scene and, in fact, shot a very expensive sequence there. She was a giant doll that didn’t look very believable. It didn’t make the final cut because the director thought it was awful.

Dr. Insólito or: how I learned not to worry and to love the bomb (1964)

The big mistake that ended in a last minute change was deciding to take Dr. Insólito’s first screening test on the day of the murder John F. Kennedy.

The Cold War comedy he filmed Stanley Kubrick It would end with a meeting at the Pentagon just as a nuclear war is about to break out. The curious thing was that the characters would dismiss the matter and stop the slaps.

Since the audience at the first screening did not like this satirical idea, Kubrick re-recorded the scene.

Divergent (2014)

It wouldn’t have been all sunshine and rainbows in the adaptation of the famous fantasy book saga. Beyond the fact that from the beginning it was a project aimed at a young audience, the director Neil Burger he decided that it would be appropriate to show it in the film a stab in the eye.

The director also recorded a scene in which the character of Ben Lamb she gets stabbed in the eye, but production decided it was too much and wouldn’t let it be included in the cut.

Titanic (1997)

Although it lasted about three hours, James Cameron He left several scenes from Titanic. One of them, probably the bloodiest, was not in the cut as a matter of preserving good image Leonardo Dicaprio.

The protagonist was seen arguing with Rose’s assistant (Kate Winslet) and ending up throwing him through a glass. The other was left with a bloody face.. They believed it was very violent compared to the tone used by the director.

Deadpool 2 (2018)

If we have already mentioned Deadpool it is because the film stars him Ryan Reynolds constantly borders on the edge of political correctness and “R” ratings.

He almost crosses the line in a post-credits scene in the sequel when sThe idea of ​​Deadpool traveling back in time and killing Adolf Hitler as a child was considered..

The screenwriter explained to CBR that they decided to omit him not because he killed Hitler but because it showed the murder of a child.

Back to the Future (1985)

Legend has it that the character played by Michele Fox had a line of dialogue that finally It wasn’t flat because it was homophobic..

At one point in the film, Marty had to say this Doctor Emmett Brown: “What if I went back to the future and ended up being… gay?” Luckily they didn’t include it.
