Directors Cut
Is it worth watching?
shareYes, it’s much better than the theatrical cut. It’s the only cut I watch when watching this movie
shareNot sure if he means the Producer's Cut but the actual Director's Cut is nothing special. It's basically the workprint of the theatrical cut after they did the reshoots and before final editing. The extended/alternate scenes basically consist of the following:
1. After baby gives birth and during Tommy's monologue, the baby is in an incubator in the lab room seen at the end instead of the ceremony room.
2. Jamie's death scene on the farm machinery has more blood.
3. Wynn and Loomis conversation at the end in Smith's Grove before Loomis gets knocked out is extended. Wynn makes it clear he's been interested in Michael's evil to study it and replicate it through another baby. This frankly makes more sense than in the final cut, so I have no clue why this was trimmed to be half-assed and confusing.
4. The doctors in the hallway have alternate lines, one in which sheds light on what the procedure is they're working on (to stop progeny disorders)
5. When Kara looks at the tank of stillborn babies she says "Babies".
6. At the very end, instead of Loomis screaming when we see Michael's mask on the floor he says "It's over Michael, it's finally over". A rather calm send off for Loomis, but makes no sense at all.
You can watch all of these on YouTube.
Which one is the cut where Loomis yells at the sheriff for not protecting Jamie after she gets killed?
shareThat's the early Rough Cut, the workprint of the Producer's Cut before its own final editing.
shareAnything else missing from the Producer’s Cut?
shareDepends, what do you know about the Rough Cut? I'll list the differences I know.
1. Michael walking down the hall of Smith's Grove in the beginning when he's doing after Jamie.
2. During the marking of the baby in the ceremonial room after he's born, some of Donald's line is spliced in with some random dude's voice who says the rest of it for some reason.
3. Extended scene between Wynn and Loomis at Loomis' house when Wynn goes to grab a bottle of scotch from Loomis' shelf. I discovered this one the other day.
4. Extended scene between Wynn and Loomis at the sanitarium early on when they talk about Jamie. Loomis has more lines that's ten seconds longer where he says he knew she'd return alive one day and whoever brought her out again brought Michael back with them. Also discovered this the other day.
5. Loomis and Debra's conversation is extended more. Loomis has more lines where he says "Michael Myers stabbed his sister to death when he was six years old" and "I knew what he was, but never knew why".
6. When Barry is in the wrong van and on the phone, there's a wide shot of Michael popping up from behind in the darkness, which is rather an effective shot because you see him coming and he just doesn't come up out of nowhere like in both finished versions.
7. The sheriff and Loomis conformation at the hospital after Jamie dies that you know of.
8. When Wynn grab Loomis' arm at the end, it doesn't show the Thorn tattoo appearing on him since this effect wasn't made yet.
YouTube search "Halloween 6 Rough Cut Rare Scenes" and you'll find a playlist full of them. One scene however is in the P-Cut which is Loomis getting his gun which doesn't count.
