Deleted/Alternate Scenes


Can someone please post a description of the deleted/alternate scenes on the DVD? Thank you.

Deleted Scenes (SD, 24 minutes) - 'Wall Street' already clocks in at well over two hours, so almost all of these cuts were certainly wise. Expanded upon are Bud's early nightlife escapades, along with added background on his workplace interactions with some of the nicer characters. Easily the best reason to watch these scenes is for an extended version of Douglas' famous "Greed is good" speech, which is worth the price of admission on its own. Stone offers optional commentary for all the scenes, which are presented in poor-quality SD video.

Next are Deleted Scenes (22:25), which are more significant for "who" and "how" than "what". Who? Penn Jillette (of comedy magician team Penn & Teller) appears as a perturbed client of Bud's. How? Stone films one scene with a camera strapped to Charlie Sheen's body fixed on the actor as he chews the fat with his co-workers. The collection also includes outtakes and alternate takes of Stone filming his tiny cameo and Douglas repeatedly delivering his rolled-down-window dialogue. Aside from an alternate ending (that affords Hannah's character some film-closing redemption), there isn't much of consequence to the content, which is presented in a rough, worn state. If Wikipedia is correct, there are a lot more deleted scenes that aren't included here, as part of a 160-minute early cut from which the film was pared. Stone doesn't say either way, in his optional commentary.
