Deleted Scenes-TV Version

Am I the only one who noticed deleted scenes in the TV version of this movie? I own the DVD, but caught the movie on BET awhile back, and noticed at least two scenes I'd never seen before, one with 'Pac & Tim walking down the hallway at the Soc. Services building (right after they got off the elevator), pretty long scene, don't remember what they talked about, and then they stopped for a bathroom break before going to bother the girls who weren't doing their job.

I've never saw these scenes talked about ANYWHERE online, I just want to know if anybody else saw this movie on TV, and saw these scenes. It's frustrating that the DVD was so bare-bones, as it's 'Pac's best movie by far.

And what's his best movie, Juice? That's not even a movie I would give a second glance to if 'Pac wasn't in it. I do get the feeling that's the movie you're gonna say, right, 'cause you seem predictable to me.

Gridlock'd had 'Pac playing AGAINST type (as the straight man), he had amazing chemistry with Tim Roth (They could've been the next Wesley & Woody), the story was actually interesting (which is more than I can say for Juice, Bullet, or Gang Related), and it had a great soundtrack.

Be real, you just didn't like it 'cause 'Pac wasn't playing a whacked-out gangsta, right? You'd rather have had him play Birdie from Above the Rim in every movie he was in, right?

Get outta here......

Spoon in Gridlock'd is Pac's best role, no doubt. But Juice is a good movie too.

Gang related was a good film too, if you're looking for 'against type' then this is the one, he was a cop for gods sake, juice was also a very good film, just not in the league of this one.

"Juice" was a decent film with an outstanding performance from Tupac where "Gridlock'd" is a solid film with excellent contributions from everyone.

I like Gang Related too but Gridlock'd is the better film.

Its funny how they weren't on the DVD.

Sometimes they pad movies on TV with extra scenes to reach a target length. Usually it's the other way around. but if it were a short movie, they might not have enough paid slots, or if it were an exceptionally long movie, they have to get it to the next half-hour mark.
