- It’s never easy to delete scenes from a movie that seem important, especially when a lot of hard work and hard-earned money was put into filming them. However, edits always have to be made, and sometimes it’s the expensive scenes that have to go.
Maybe the studio thought the original ending was too dark, or maybe a subplot didn’t fit in, but these deleted scenes ended up costing the movies a lot of money.
From the lengthy original ending of a beloved musical to the legendary Wizard of Oz scene that we’ll probably never see, here are some of the most expensive deleted scenes ever filmed.

What other costly deleted scenes do you think should've made this list?
Looper I would guess all the deleted and unused scenes from the LOTRs films cost quite a bit.
The Abyss maybe. They cut like 30 minutes off that film. And that was some really nice CGI scenes, must have cost a fortune.
the alt ending from I am Legend
Ritchard Donnar's Superman II. Basically 70% of the movie was shot. When they started all over, only using a fraction of his footage.
Know Your Video Games that's not entirely true, They had to get the amount of scenes done by Richard Lester to over 50% of the total, that way Lester could be credited as director, and Donner could be removed. They used a lot more than just a fraction of Donner's shots.
The back to the Future reshoot was money well spent... the best decision they ever made.
One of the best decisions in filmmaking history! That said, Eric Stoltz absolutely ROCKED the film, "Mask" (and I think did a better job than Michael J Fox would have, in the same role).
voicetube yes, dead on point...
i worked on the superman returns krypton sequence. It was a rough day when that was canned.
I was lucky enough to do some extra work once and it was so enjoyable! I cou,d really get into doing films and TV stuff. And I mean doing anything on the set. Thats what I found really interesting and enjoyable. The overall atmosphere. Id be happy running coffee around or something...
The Alternate World War Z Act would have actually made the movie decent.
abeness studios Alway f... up
The only thing WWZ about the movie was the title.
abeness it was a good movie, maybe not by the books standards but by movie standards it was fine
abeness Cool but it basically creates an entirely new movie with in a movie.
It would have been a complete departure from that story that they created. Those reshoot they did pro boy saved that movie from being a complete failure.
Can we all agree that the world war z alternate ending sounds way more enjoyable
Yeah it does sound enjoyable
LawlorBrotherStudios doea it sound cooler, yes. More Enjoyable, idk?
LawlorBrotherStudios But we can all agree the movie was pretty eh
LawlorBrotherStudios yeah, I'm curious to watch it. Knew there was a reason why Matthew fox accepted such a minor role
The alternate ending wouldn't have brought the film any closer to the book, which is INCREDIBLE. All made-up b.s.
Eric Stoltz did look wrong in those scenes, he looked way too serious.
I agree don't think the film would have been anywhere near as good if they continued with Stoltz
I think that was the main issue, he was too serious and they wanted a lighter Marty too carry the film.
but imagine you are the actor who is being cut because you are not funny enough and later see the huge success the movie has.
Honestly I feel bad for the guy, knowing that they would shut down production after 5 weeks of filming because of he wasn't good enough for the part, that sucks
I imagine being trapped in the past and knowing that if you don't do things right, you will be erased from existence would make a character look and act very serious.
More on the Jitterbug sequence: It wasn't just deleted for time -- Victor Fleming, while editing, felt that an upbeat dance number undermined the mood of that section of the movie, which is the darkest part of the film. But he NEGLECTED to take out a line where the Wicked Witch tells the head flying monkey that she's "sent a nasty little insect to take the fight out of them", aka the Jitterbug. (It's supposed to be a magical spell that makes people dance against their will until they're exhausted.)
Now I need to see that Superman Returns scene.
Reversing the "Great Scott" and "This is heavy" lines was a stroke of genius.
You guys give a blast at job with every vid u upload. THX!!!!!
"great Scott"
"I know, this is heavy"
THE. PERFECT. TRILOGY.
In a multiverse somewhere, alternate versions of ourselves are probably complaining, "Ah, man. World War Z(ed) would have been SOOO much better if they had the character go to the medical facility instead!"
Mark Zink what a horrible universe that they would think that.
no more like: "thank god they didnt go with that ex machina cure bullshit! That didnt have anything to do with the book!"
Thanks for the accurate spelling of Z
That alternate scene for World War Z would've made it so much better
Matthew Fox got paid and was never in the film . Since he was cut out .LOL
Wrong. Matthew Fox played one of the main military Parajumpers in the movie.
Hell no it sounds dumb as hell and the theatrical ending was so intense
No, it sounds like the classic useless and baseless drama that lazy writers use to heighten the suspense and stress level of the readers in order to create a memorable read. It's not enjoyable, it's not interesting, it doesn't bring anything new. It's poor writing and poor entertainment. I don't often commend the editing choices, but this is clearly one of the better ones.
But I'm not surprised by your comment. Not only could it be argued that thiw version is more in line with the book, there are always a few simple minded folk that think that since the deleted scene is harder to watch (trust me, it's a gruelling read), then it must be better. The mistake these people make is they don't think about reader (well, viewer) enjoyment and added value. These kind of debates could be avoided if writers weren't such lazy pieces of shite. If I wanted to see this kind of "real world" drama, I would read biographies, not fucking zombie flicks.
You can not begin to believe how weird the original Little Shop of Horrors was and the impression it made on my young childhood mind in the 60s. It would show up on TV shows with local hosts that showed scifi movies late Friday nights.
They should have kept the original Little Shop of Horrors ending. It's so much better.
for all those who don't know but wanted too (i saw a bunch in the comments) the background music is "BlueFoxMusic - Shake It Loose"
2:11 - Extrayn-yoo-us? No. Extrayn-ee-us.
I can’t see Eric Stoltz being funny as he says, “Flux capacitor... fluxing”. Re-filming with Fox probably saved the franchise.
Great Scott!
Disappointed World War Z cut Russia out
D Bogz I like the movie the Russia cut would have made it great
Not really... A bit of zombie smashing (quite default) and then a love drama bit sounds just like lazy writers, not that the actual ending was great anyway, it just isn't a good film...
Read the book. MUCH better. Movie sucked!
I agree 100%. Russia (and China) factored very strongly in the book. The movie was so different from the book, you could argue they only used the title and the concept of zombies at all.
Hollywood doesn't like Russia, exept if it there is a bad russians.
That Michael J. Fox decision was the best
Apocalypse Now Plantation Scene, before it was added to the Redux. Apparently it costed a lot of money, but it didn't end up in the final cut
I was going to mention this one! Glad to see someone else knew about this.
In fact there were a lot of scenes that aren't even included in the redux. The workprint is on youtube, so go check it out for some extra brando and Hopper
"costed".
yes - not only did Coppola, Milius etc get so much wrong about the US in Vietnam, they'd done it for the French in Vietnam as well
I think Apocalypse Now is one of those rare cases where the theatrical cut is better than the director's cut. The additional scenes in Redux are garbage.
You had me at "extranuous."
I was an extra in X-MEN Origins/Wolverine.For 2 days they filmed an extensive American Civil War scene wh
ich was cut from the beginning of the movie.
A little bit of the Jitterbug sequence was also on the VHS release which had some interviews and stuff at the beginning of the movie.
In the theatrical print of Wizard, the witch even alludes to the Jitterbugs, but not by name. Didn't they think anyone would notice?
I once spent the time watching all three Star Wars Prequels that had all of the deleted scenes included, and all of the Jar Jar Binks scenes deleted (and that "sand" scene was also deleted). Good movies became great movies. I'm surprised Looper never mentioned them.
Its always nice to hear Dex's voice in these.
I honestly liked World War Z, it might have been better with the Russian action sequences but the movie was still great nonetheless.
VH3 Hazy ‘great’ are you serious?! It was fucking terrible! I’ve read the book and believe me I was so disappointed with the pile of poo that the movie was. My biggest gripe was that it bore zero ZERO resemblance to the book it was supposed to be based on?!?
Sounds like the World War Z anding (and trilogy!) would have been pretty sweet!
Can you spoil it for me? I will not read the book and im interested in the topic.
The book and the movie have almost nothing in common, aside from the world building. The movie starts with the premise of the story, creates the Brad Pitt character to be its center, and writes a story specifically about him set in the world created by the book.
I would encourage you to read the book. You wouldn't have to worry about spoilers from the movie.
only clicked on this vid because i KNEW Little Shop of Horrors was gonna be here. Its my favourite movie of all time and i luckily have a directors cut with the original ending
Funny things is WWZ was outstanding because of the theatrical third scene after an explosive action set-up. It gave the movie sophistication and gravitas, that only accentuated the entertainment value of the gore. The happy ending was far more plausible and full filling, but they can still do sequels - tons of story to tell.
had to go look up that Little Shop of Horrors Original Ending ! epic
I just wanna know,was or will there be a movie with Bishop arriving from the future like he was at the first start of DAYS OF FUTURE PAST??
I was in some of the deleted scenes from WWZ, I spent two weeks working on it and the whole lot were cut, I was gutted.
Original ending of Little Shop is so incredible. Can't believe they changed it.
Yea, Frank Oz hated changing it, but he knew it had to be done. With a play at the end of the play all the cast comes out and bows as the audience applauds you know everyone is okay, but a movie just goes to credits. For that and other reasons, movies and plays are a totally different audience. I read that Geffen was so mad about having to change the ending that he sat on the footage for years. Even the one released in 2012 is not the best quality copy of the footage, because Geffen still has it and refuses to give it to Warner Bros. because he's bitter that they changed the ending in the first place.
The most expensive scene from Unbreakable involved hundreds of extras and a rented carnival Elijah visits as a child, rides the teapots and gets injured. It was cut.
The first version of World War Z sounded great to me! Actually interesting and unpredictable.
Watching this is MUCH better than clicking 50 times to read 12 lines of text in a Facebook post.
Yugoslav movie "The Battle of Neretva". The scene was the demolition of an actual railway bridge. Due to excessive smoke, the footage was poor so they re-built the demolished bridge and blew it up again, but in spite of efforts to reduce smoke the footage was again poor. In the end they used a scale model for the footage that did make it to the film.
I remember the Wayne Kramer film Crossing Over drew controversy because Sean Penn had taken a $5 million dollar salary, then asked all his scenes to be cut afterwards, but kept the money
Love this guys voice, it better fits in comedy
In other words, test audiences suck and ruin cinema.
M8,it was a test audience that Fox trusted with its opinion of Alien 3.And the audience apparently consisted of a bunch of college kid fashionistas that knew fuck all about the hopes the fans of the series had for that film,considering what Scott and Cameron did with the first two...Look how A3 turned out.
Don't forget the producers who gut movies before they're even screened because they get cold feet about this or that. It's 100% asinine.
You can't blame Alien 3 on test audiences, that movie was doomed from the start. It's not even a terrible movie (woeful early CG work aside) it's just a terrible sequel. Producers went with a complete departure from the previous movie with a bizarre wooden planet of monks and the alien reimagined as a literal demon from hell in Vincent Wards Alien 3 script. Ward was also set to direct and the sets were already under construction and casting underway when the studio bottled it, fired ward, dumped his script and hired Fincher to start shooting as scheduled despite the fact they had no script. The sets were reworked for the prison planet and the monks as prisoners. It's worth noting that Ripley survived Wards script despite having an Alien inside her.
COmpletely missed the point of I Am Legend and turned it into a generic crap all in one move.
maybe costly, but we got the MUCH better ROGUE cut
The non-stop music is exhausting.
Jeeze!! I'm really glad the third act was deleted.. Although, considering that that's kind of an unfavorable ending it feels like they should have seen it coming that they'd need to change it.
I'm pretty sure the dress rehearsal for the Wizard of Oz "jitterbug" scene was not "caught on video." Not in 1939. More likely caught on film.
Correct, it was the man's Home Movie camera. That is why it is from the Back, look at the Trees, with men inside.
So glad somebody else caught that.
awesome info. loved world war z....i'm glad they reshot it though
If anyone is interested, then the soldier in the video thumbnail is Daniella Kertesz playing "Segen" in World War Z.
It seems to me there are more than a few entire films that had to be scrapped before completion, and it hardly gets more expensive than that!
Dark Blood being a good example as it's star River Phoenix died during shooting and it was impossible to get around what they hadn't filmed yet. Years later they did eventually cobble together a version to release but it was more or less just a shell of a movie with whole missing scenes replaced with narration explaining what was supposed to have happened.
Rogue One had an alternate ending that was cut, you can see parts of these scenes in the trailers. That must have been expensive.
Nice video
The coolest take away I got from this video... Tom Hanks was in an episode of Family Ties.
I like the music!
4:10 - That's 8mm footage - video cameras wasn't really invented in 1938 when it was shot. :D
I only just found out about this one: the sinking dining room scene, chase and gunfight from Titanic. Very expensive I'm sure!
One glaring omission, Harvey Keitel as Captain Willard in Apocalypse Now... replaced after three months of principle photography
Stolz Did make it into one shot in the soda shop scene, an over his shoulder shot of Biff.
You left out a big one. The "automated sentry" sequence of Cameron's "Aliens".
The world war Z cut ending would have actually made more sense and even possibly set up a decent sequel.
The Rogue Cut of DoFP is so much better than the Theatrical version.
So it sounds like a bunch of times producers turned a good/maybe great ending to a film into something happy because a few people pulled aside for a "test audience" didn't like it. That's formulaic art for you.
i thought the extended scene of recruiting the dead army in LoTR3 would have made the list. all those skulls spilling out like a waterfall. and/or the destruction of the shire scenes.
The end of Gangster Squad after the theater shooting (during Dark Knight Rises). They had to reshoot because of parallels between the film and the real life tragedy.
So World War Z could of actually been a decent film and could of had sequels running from the decent variant of the film..?
Then they released the shit we were greeted with...
Hollywood confuses me.
Could "have"! English is not my mother tongue, yet this "could of" leaves me puzzled.
It is because that is what people hear. It is from the contraction "could've" which people apparently don't know and write "could of" instead. I blame the American education system. This is probably one of the most rampant grammar mistakes I see, you can find someone using "of" instead of making a contraction as it should be in pretty much every comment section these days.
I understand why it sounds similar when you say it. But when you write it? As I said, I am a foreigner to english, but it sticks out so obviously wrong to me. The question is: Do these people know it's wrong and use it anyway because of lazyness? Or do they genuinely think that's how it is spelled?
I am wondering now how many strange mistakes I do each day using my own language without knowing it while foreigners would be able to pick it up ...
A lot of people think that 'could of' is correct. I also see a lot of 'you were been offered' instead of 'you were being offered'. A lot of mobile phone style text speak seems to lead to a fair amount of bad writing too.
Believe it or not I tried writing 'could've' but my phone decided being grammatically incorrect with 'could of' was the best wording to use xD.
Although I can't rule out myself misspelling it, I'm notoriously bad with not noticing my phones auto correct :P
I prefer the original ending of Little Shop of Horrors. That's why I love seeing the play on stage.
Matthew Fox was still in the theatrical. He was one of the soldiers that rescued them on the helicopters towards the beginning.
Dex is back again
"Composer Harold Arlen captured the dress rehearsal on video"
Did he upload it to TH-cam the day after and then email all of his friends about it?
Wow. That one scene could have turned that Superman movie around, and it didn't even have to be the opening. They could have easily put in a scene with him telling Lois all about his journey, which would have been an amazing callback later when he witnesses Luther building a new continent that was far too similar to the barren waste of his home world. That movie had such great potential, and failed so hard.
From 3:56 to 4:00 just visualize these two dancing on this video music background , Look at them closely while listening to the soundtrack , Awesome !
How is it a 'deleted scene' if the final third to World War Z was never even shot? Deleted scenes are cut footage, not alternative plots.
True
But they had to do some reshoots because they changed the ending which costed them money obviously
It was shot. That's why they did reshoots and not just a rewrite.
Deleted from the script. The idea that a deleted scene only counts after they've shot it only comes from moviemakers only putting those on the DVD since people find it boring to watch storyboard slides.
Yeah, but... the title of the video is "The Most Expensive Deleted Scenes Filmed".
They had "video" when the Wizard of Oz was made? I did not know that.
Dorothy and friends look like they're square dancing, not doing the jitterbug (which is indeed shown the non-Oz, black & white cut).
I dont know why everybody dislike the Superman Returns Movie, and I think that the cut out intro would have been better.
BUT I like the new Superman :D
He says the Wizard of Oz jitterbug rehearsal was shot "on video", but there was no "video" in 1939 (let alone "video tape"). FYI, NTSC video started in 1941 and the first (very bulky) video recorder was made in 1956.
Harold Arlin did not capture the gitterbug scene in the WIZARD OF OZ on VIDEO. He FILMED the sequence in 16mm. Video, of course did not exist at that time.
Good to see Macaulay Culkin still getting work.
"Happy ending" for worldwar Z is just the dumbest thing ever, that's like wanting a Lovecraft horror with a happy ending, it just doesn't work.
day z cut explains matthew fox's random little (uncreddited i think) 5 second cameo
"Before Warner Brothers decided to reboot the Superman franchise YET AGAIN in 2013." It was literally the first time, unless you count the 52 TV series or 1949 Film serial. Out of all the superhero franchises rebooted, I think the one that started it all deserved a chance.
I'm so glad they didn't follow the original method to deal with the zombies in World War Z. The discovery of the solution in the movie was more exciting and Eureka-ish than the one in the book.
I have always wondered if they hired Stolz for back to the future, just to do two things, first to start on the starting date so as not to lose the crew and other cast members, and to "force" MJF to maybe take lesser money for his role
"Lone Pines Mall."
Marty hit the other tree in transport.
The Stoltz scenes look like the released scenes with his face photoshopped in.
Bole Perishon: I'm afraid they actually looked that bad in real life, lmfao.
You left out the original opening to "Raise The Titanic" which cost around 10 million dollars. It was a re-creation of the sinking of the ship. This was filmed & already completed in post production before it was decided to cut it from the theatrical release.
The Wizard of Oz movie still scares me to this day..
Rolando Torres I understood this reference 😉
lasarith2 well I don't
Nerdprodigy. Captain America -the Avengers movie)
It's good that OZ scares you a bit, it means you have the ability to see. I did a series dealing with the Occult and much of it has to do with the Wizard Of Oz, and where, "OZ" truly originated from. Here is the link if you are interested :

velocity73R really man , you are messed up , find something better to do in your lifetime
The original ending of Little Shop of Horrors(1986) cost millions to make yet it did not make the final cut due to negative test screen reactions...
Let me put it this way:
Days of future past is carbon, the Rogue Cut is a diamond. No joke, the movie gets that better.
True it made it better
Agreed. Sad they didn't do the same with World War Z.
days of the future past ,should be the last movie of that universe, It has a perfect send off to LOGAN.
The logan movies,lacked so many key characters for a proper send off
Why the heck they do Logan though. Could have just kill Wolverine in the Days of the Future Past.
The parallel scene with young and old Erik performing their break-ins was fantastic.
You forgot the Harvey Keitell false start on Apocalypse Now".
I'm sure some of the deleted scenes for LOTR were pretty expensive, though they did make it into the extended versions so I'm not sure if that counts.
I actually prefer the Rogue Cut.
The major deletion from World War Z helps explain the bizarre credit Matthew Fox received on the finished film. I really like Matt, but he was seen in a couple of glimpses, maybe spoke the words "get in," and that was it! So apparently, his principal role as the cuckolder of Brad Pitt got left on the cutting room floor, but they gave him the credit in any event.
Famous last words, "Test audiences hated it!"
I think you missed the tsunami scene cut from The Abyss by Cameron.
Wow, that Little Shop quote continues to go on to explain that the reaction cards only gave a 13% recommend while they needed a 55% to release. Ouch.
and you know this how? nice video though
left out was the original king kong lost scene where the humans fall off the log running away from kong and were eaten by giant spiders. grossed out test audiences and many walked out
Superman Reuters was NOT a one off, it was meant as a new entry to go along with the originals...
Jesus. The original ending of World War Z was even more estranged from the book than the new one.
