it was a deleted scene. also, maybe people forget these things, but it was common for many people to watch these old movies on TV, where they were heavily edited.

A lot of stuff gets filmed and then cut, so it might just be that. You might be on a director's cut DVD somewhere! (Though way less likely for old stuff, where the removed material may no longer even exist.)

Was going to say this. They edited that part out.

This tiny scene ruins the movie, IMHO. I have a personal edit which simply cuts out the scene where they discover that the camera ran for hours, and it vastly improves it.

Remember those shows are edited, though.

I wish they released a realtime cut of this. I feel like some of the quirks have been obscured with sped up footage.

Director's cut all the way :)

Does anyone have the original clip used? Curious to see it as reference for how much was altered

duxup • May 5, 2025 • View on HN

Is it censored or just a different version that was edited for runtime or other reasons?

Is there a version without the edits? Because I found this practically unwatchable; it kept cutting away just as things started to get interesting.
