How Much Was Cut From The Whole Movie?

This is gonna be a long reply.


Roger's track record is kind of funny sometimes. I read various things about the whole FW thing. I heard something that he actually starting fighting with and throwing things at the people laughing at the screening. i read in Fango a few months back about what he did to Humanoids from the Deep. He actually went and shot the rape scenes and added them in without the director's knowledge and permission. She found out at the premiere screening as did Ann Turkel too and they were pissed.

That's cool you got to see the uncut version. Was there anything worthwile mentioning,Squonkamatic? I read something in a book about footage cut from movies onethime. It said Forbidden World had some cuts due to graphic violenece and a grisly rape scene of a female explorer by the main monster. It almost sounded like maybe they confused it with GOT. Or it could have been refering to the tentacle through the neck thing. Maybe you could shed some light on that.


In all I have heard about cuts to GOT were something in an evisceration scene (Jack Blessing's character?) and of course that little maggot rape scene. Felgrimdark's original post sounds very interesting and I would love to hear more as well. I think you get into a prett good amount of detail on here, I do see flame wars and f-words tossed around all the time.


Getting back to GOT. The scene had so many quick cuts and it was too damn short. It feels like it is missing something plus continituy seems off. One scene it lifts her to penetrate her, then next one you see the side leg shot while she is still moaning, the the breasts rubbing scene and it looks like she is being humped. the shots of her face show a tentacle around her neck but then in a few other scenes, theres nothing by her head. The continuity sort of picks up towards the end as the grabs the tentacles wrapping around her as she is raised up again then grabs the floor. But then her hand is clutching the maggots head, then her hand slips away and when it cuts to the final shot, shes grabbing it near the head again. The 2 things I know that have some difference are the old HK VCD and the 35mm red band trailer.


The HK VCD is probably the brightest version I seen yet. Its like they darkened it to hide the cheapness of the set. Some things I have noticed or other people who have seen it are it looks like a tentacle or something round between her legs in the first raise up scene besides the thong which we saw in NOTE. Also in the humping as her leg falls down scene, it looks like a patch of ripped white cloth covering her crotch area as it rubs against her. Someone also thought her leg on the other side is extended straight out while the one is bent against the side of the maggot. You also notice how cheap the maggot is as the hollow tentacles flatten under her.

The 35mm red band trailer I think has a different scene not used, perhaps one that felgrimdark mentioned he seen. In the side raising up scene, you don't see much of her ass, but if anyone remembers TMac a long time ago on his site had some pics from it up and you actually saw more thigh and her buttcheecks on the right side of the pic. The one large tentacle is on the ground in it and in the regular cut its above the ground. Plus you see her other arm extended up grabbing the worms head as her arm nearest to us grips the tentacle under her back. Do you still have that trailer or the pics from it ,TMac? I did pick up a little envelope of some clippings from the trailer from a place in Vegas and it did have some parts from the maggot scene. I was shocked at how much they used, its almost the whole scene! In the next few months getting a new pc and a scanner is in the budget. I will get a scanner with the 35mm kit and scan some of these in and post them if its possible. Like I've noticed in the breast rubbing scene you can actually see most of her face.

Before I sign off I do actually have 2 of the original shooting scripts from it. Grace Zabriske's and Jack Blessing's. The maggot scene is brief but almost has no sexual tone except her clothing being ripped open and hanging in tatters. The scene that was very sexual was Erin Moran's character's one. instead of being crushed in the tunnel, she is molested by alien hands and has her suit melted away by some fluid leaving her completely naked. Ironically enough, this scene is whited out in Grace's copy. LOL! One other difference I can think of off the top of my head, is the scene before the captain goes spelunking and gets killed. He stares at Dameia's chest and muses that they are "the grandest mammeries in the galaxy".

That would be cool if you could tell us about anything you saw, felgrimdark. Like any different angles, how much more explicit, body parts shown,etc... Like you mentioned in you other thread, like the prothsetic and such. And congrats on your retirement TMac. I saw that on your site a while back. Thanks for all the good years.

It's not the language but rather the discussion that was getting a little sexually explicit. While it may be tame to you or I,IMDB is really rigid about these things and will delete them without notice.

Glad you enjoy it. I created the group for those who were tired of the spamming in Taaffee's group to primary discuss GOT news and the impeding dvd release. I expanded coverage to include other movies, but Unfortunately all the talk has been only on GOT.:( As for the dvd, there are plans to include extras like commentary and bits. Don't know about deleted footage nor the release date yet. Keep checking fangoria.com dvd release schedule for it.
