After watching the film again recently, Benny is really a bigger asshole than I saw before. He's basically O'Bannon Jr., the bully and the guy who always wants to fight.
Lots of interesting discussions, but I agree with cutting most of them. They would have just slowed the movie down even more. I do wish they'd left the scenes of narc'ing on Mitch and the two kids with attitude outside the rec center in.
These scenes would have dragged the movie out, there were very few long dialogue scenes in the movie other than the nerd car. A lot of these scenes like they were trying way to hard.
I think it’s absolutely ironic that the scene where the females were talking about how football runs their town and everything revolves around the boys and women are just put on standby got deleted lol
these scenes make me realize that the film is honestly tailored to its closest perfection. its concise without needing all this explanation. The girls bathroom scene is one of favorite and i feel like it represents the essence of the conversation without being so blatant and direct. i love it.
Yeah I actually kinda love how they just don’t really explain a lot of stuff in the film. You’re just left to draw conclusions from what you can see, as you would in a real situation. In many ways it’s kind of a fly on the wall capturing all these different groups of friends.
What makes this movie absolute perfection is how easy it flows and how realistic it is. No over the top crazy events happening just simple life literally my favorite movie of all time
The only way to have done a sequel would have been 4 years later when Mitch and that group were seniors. Keep the cycle going. That would hav been fun.
The additional scene with Pink and Mitch in the car, and Pink asking about his sister shows that it's not only good guy stuff going on from Pink. He also was just being nice to get to the sister :)
Oh please he didn't need to use Mitch just to get to Jodi. They knew each other well enough anyway and the end of the deleted girls bathroom scene may imply that she too was interested in him.
This is perhaps my favorite movie. The one thing I noticed is that the deleted scenes addressed some of the issues of the era but it would have made it a more "serious" vibe.
I know. Me too. We did spend our high school years like it was some preamble to time when we'll be so much happier in college. Then so much happier when we make money. Then so much happier after the divorce. Of when...etc, etc. We never realize that right THEN would be a good as it gets.
I love getting glimpses of the interpersonal relations of all these characters. In this scene at 9:13 Don is obviously cool with all of these guys. O'Bannon seems to dislike the other stoners and Slater seems to dislike the other jocks. Ben and Pickford seem to be friends despite their different social circles. the film shows all of this in less than a minute.
Amazing film. So much more than just a party film. Vietnam ended a couple years ago, it was Texas in the year of the centennial. Even O'Banion finds redemption in the one deleted scene where he comes back after changing clothes and seems a lot more chill and humble and realizes what a jerk he was being.
I could always use some more Dazed but I'm glad they cut some of these scenes out, it would had missed with the easy going fun comedy aspect of the movie.
Having grown up in east Texas in the 70's and 80's - everything in this movie was so familiar!!! We even had a couple of guys like McConaughey lurking around...
You know it's funny? I grew up in east Texas too. I graduated '04 and I thought the same thing about it being familiar. We were still doing all the same stupid shit in the 00's that they were doing in the 70's. The early 00's was the last little bit before personal electronics turned everyone to zombies. Sent from my android for the win!
@@billvickers9149 You're so right. I graduated in '06 and we did the same shit. I really feel blessed to be on that tail end, before the world really changed. I mean, I remember social media and personal electronics being around, but it hadn't taken over the world yet. Especially in our little corner of Texas (West Texas for me).
I'm gonna say, having graduated in the early '10s, this shit is a whole other language. It's alien, that's not even recognizable without a whole layer of context from people there. Everything from the wild west to the early 80s seems like the same time period.
Parker Posey is so talented man. She was so convincing and even though Darla wasn't in the film all that much, she was one of the most fascinating characters.
They’re not pushing 60, oldest one is 51 and majority are 45-50, they’re just middle aged now. But yeah I was born 3 years after this movie came out and I’m now older than they were here, I wish I grew up in that generation instead
@@nathanmasters7952 They are definitely pushing 60. My mom was a senior in 1976, same time these kids are supposed to be seniors as well and she is 60. She wasn't talking about the literal actors.
I was a senior in 76 in Texas....we didn't care about whipping freshman ....they had some school gag for them that lasted about 30 mins and that was it. We did have some guy that we thought graduated in 71 that worked as a stocker in the grocery store i worked at. Come to find out he was kicked out 2 months before he was suppose to graduate. He was creepy....had a Dodge van with huge ass speakers and shag carpet always hitting on 16-17 year old girls. In the movie there was no Led Zeppelin...they were huge for us stoners. The price of cigarettes was correct and beer was 168 to 199 a six pack. There was lots of enduro motorcycles ..they did not show that.....in the parking lot there was about 100 plus motorbikes at our school. I had 72 orange Gremlin with a 6 cyl and 3 speed ....plus a 74 Yamaha RD350 and a 73 Suzuki TS185 I would ride to school ...It was like watching my senior year pretty much spot on...
I respectfully disagree, because in most cases, these scenes waste time explaining things that viewers either can figure out for themselves, or more likely still wouldn't get even if the scenes were there. Plus 25 minutes of additional filler would slow the pacing of this excellent movie considerably. Of course if it were at least and option on the DVD to watch with the deleted scenes people could choose for themselves, though most of these don't appear to have completely made it through post-production judging by the quality and lack of soundtrack.
Yeah I don't know. I wouldn't include the scene of Benny O'Donnell making racist remarks about the Asian girls and giving that patriotic monologue. He is already a major asshole in the film, that scene and the one where he bullies those kids with Melvin would leave a bad taste to a (mostly) feel-good comedy. I think he was supposed to be a bigger dick than O'Bannion, who I've always considered to be more of a cartoony character, one of those "love to hate" antagonists. Implications that Benny is being abused by his dad and being a racist cunt just don't fit the tone of the movie. Also, O'Bannion picking on Slater about drugs is funny when you hear it once, if these deleted scenes were in the film, the same line would be there three times, so it would get old pretty quick.
There's a good deleted scene where O'Banion comes back after the paint incident and he seems alot more humbled and chilled out and realizes what a jerk he was being and how it was supposed to be in good fun.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 I don’t know if he became more humble. In that deleted scene he bullys another kid to get away from the keg and he’s already planning on getting those freshmen back.
It seems like Mitch got in with alot of the older kids after the initial paddling though. Don was seen clowning around with him outside the liquor store. Pickford seemed to like him. And Pink too
@vancelubben5300 The Black dude was cool with him too, let Mitch keep his change and gave him a beer. Melvin was nice in the movie, but these deleted scenes make him seem more like a bully with Benny and OBannio
I kind of think it doesn’t make a whole lotta sense considering every episode the men on the island spent their time finding ways to get off the island where the women basically lounged about with the the exception of Gilligan destroying every plan but he did try
A sequel would never be the same. This was the summer before senior year. Truly an amazing time especially pre 9/11. I am class of 2000 and I got to have a truly great childhood and teenage years.
Sea of York It was still pretty understood. Their role was just turned from a major plot point to "look we stole these" and, of course, a couple of acid heads would paint them.
I love the scene where O'Bannion is telling Pink and the guys about Carl's mom - did everyone notice what Pink says as he's leaving?... "catch you later!" Lol, poor Slater.
They filmed this at my middle school here in Austin texas.we were actually in school while they were filming.my teacher is also in it at the beginning when they were in woodshop, Mr mcfarlen..shout outs to bedichek middle school 🙏🙏💪
I think Cole Hauser was underrated. To me, he’s the only one who comes off authentically and real. Especially in that truck scene with Affleck. You can tell Affleck is trying to act while Hauser is just natural
I kinda wish the whole movie were in this quality. It'd be like a '70s B-movie. Love seeing my old middle school Bedichek. I hated that fuckin school, but glad it lives on, filmed during the time I went there.
So realistic, the stoner considers helping lift the statue but ultimately decides against wasting the effort and sits back down with a wry smile on his face lol
The scene wit Mitch and pink in the car shoulda stayed... I never understood what pink was bitchin about as the high school football hero but it makes sense now, to many rules and authority and I know how that feels from workin.. plus it showed he had other motives in takin Mitch along askin about his sister.
The coach didn't care about him he only cares about his next district title. If the coach genuinely cared he wouldn't have been so judgemental of Pink's friends (his REAL friends).
the scenes individually weren't much, collectively as part of a bigger whole, it would be awesome. its like apocalypse now: redux, it adds new scenes and fleshes out the others. i definitely would want a deeper look into that day
I know lot of people hate o'bannion the bully. But his energetic presence has been a blessing to the movie. And am really happy to see o'bannion back after he was attacked with paint.
Tony and sabrina too underrated they have so much chemistry and this scene rlly shows it. not to mention their kiss scene which is probably my fav onscreen kiss they’re just too cute it’s so realistic
This has been my favourite movie for years.. and I was born in 95 so it’s not like I can even relate, I was born in the wrong generation.. everything about this movie is what I love, especially the music and the cars! And far out they could’ve fixed the exhaust leak on the cop car before filming!
You could tell anyway but these scenes really establish Benny as a damaged hot-head. The only time you see it in the movie is at the party while talking to Randall. The scene where he can't get the beer open should have stayed. It was well acted by all and shows that he's just a 17yo kid that thinks he knows it all. He can't even open a beer at times. It's good that most of this was cut though.
Yes I agree. Based on these deleted scenes, you can see that Benny has more depth to him as a fictional character and some backstory. O'Bannion more of a one-dimensional typical bully-jock, but Benny seems to enjoy beating freshmen because he's been abused himself (the "This is gonna hurt you more than me" line), he's somewhat more intelligent than O'Bannion, but has these sociopathic tendencies. I had never seen that scene before where "OB Badass" shows up at the moontower. I had heard about it but didn't know it was actually filmed. The final cut makes it seem as Benny is done with the paddling at least for a while, but that scene shows that even when they're out partying, he's going on about "getting them later". These scenes are very interesting for us diehard D&C fans, but I'm glad they were left out. The final-cut Benny is much more tolerable this way.
I like how that aspect is revisited when Don reveals the trunk full of beer to the girls. (About 49 min. in) He is so distracted he can’t open his beer.
I don’t know. I kind of like how they took those scenes out. The movie already had O’Bannion as the hot head, having Benny would’ve been a tad redundant. I also thought the talk he had with Randall near the end wasn’t really hot-headed. More of a guy who wanted best for himself and his friends.
Even the movie's final cut I find Benny worse than Obannion: Egging on Clint to beat up Mike, getting angry at Don for giving a beer to a freshman they just beat the shit out of,
These scenes would have made it an entirely different move. Darker and cynical. The editor did a fantastic job of cutting out the BS imho, to make it the more light hearted, fun movie we know.
I remember watching this like two years ago and couldn’t even finish it because it was boring to me the fact that there wasn’t a real plot line, but I just watched it again the other night and I can say this movie is now one of my favorite movies. So beautifully shot. Really true to the time period and the dialogue and interactions are so real. ❤️
The same thing happened to me! I turned it off 10 mins in, came back to it maybe a week or two later, and now it's my absolute favorite movie of all time. 😂
If you ask many of my friends, this movie was very loosely based on us(our group) We all drove classic cars in high school and would essentially take over when we showed up. We also hung out at The OK Hotel in Seattle and the many other music venues.
Same 😊 Saw this movie in theater in the U district I was 17 and drove a 71 mustang muscle car, my best friend drove a Camaro. Her brother was a drug dealer, our friends were stoners and threw house parties every weekend. we even seemed to dress similar even though it was ‘94 Seattle. My first time singing on stage was OK hotel ‘95
I can see why a lot of these scenes were deleted. However they are cool to watch as it shows more about characters that only had a few lines or characters that were Shown but had maby a line or 2. This is the best High School party movie of all time. Everything is very subtle in this movie because it doesnt have any over arcing story.
@@aimeejutz4992 that is cheap damn those days must of ruled. Where im from they used to sell it in an ounce nicknamed oz for about $250 all skunk weed a good 15+ years ago. These days you will be lucky to get it for $300-350. Quater pound=4 ounces lol the difference is huge.
I'm glad they deleted pretty much all of this. The only one I didn't mind was the talk about how playing football was fun in middle school but in high school it doesn't feel as fun. The actor who played Mitch didn't really say anything interesting but Jason London is just so damn good.
I feel like some of the scenes woupd set stuff up, like j always wondered how they knew about the baseball game or what the girls were doing since they randomly show up.
I just got so deep in thought and analyzed tf out of this... At first at 4:24 I was like DAMN, so open about the racism! But immediately after I was like "ahh. I get it. It's the early 70s. The Vietnam war had JUST ended". My parents were teenagers in the 70s. My dad tells me stories of watching the TV to hear the lottery of birthdates of who was getting drafted. My dads date was never called. That war effected EVERYONE back then. Teens were getting sent off to die in the war. Teenage girls and women's boyfriends/husbands were being killed. Parents were losing their sons to the war. Kids were losing dads. Kids and teens today have no idea how scary of a time this was. They were freakin DRAFTED. Basically kidnapped by the govt to go fight in the war. They had no say so. Kids from the 80s and 90s (I'm an 80s baby, 90s kid/preteen) dont even know what it was like to live during a time like that, but our parents did live through it. Our parents were the ones getting drafted and fighting in it.
Definitely. I remember that still pretty much being a lot of peoples views as a kid in the early/mid 80s. Because their we're still so many Nam vets who were relatively young. 35 and under. Along with all the relatives/loved ones of people who died fighting.
Yeah, and you know who else was affected? The Vietnamese who had their daughters raped, and had (from their point of view) a bunch of yahoos bringing death and destruction all over their cities and countrysides.
13:23 was the scene that wasn't in the script that Joey and Parker wanted to have for themselves, absent of stereotypical girl talk (boys, parties, etc.) Also, fun nod to Jaws (which was released one year prior this movie was based) at 23:40 Man I miss time before smart phones and doing this kind of thing and just doing wild stuff was how you enjoyed yourselves.
This explains some things in the movie that I missed because I thought I wasn’t paying enough attention. I love the Welcome Back Kotter references. I think the Gimmee Drugs thing is a reference to an episode of Kotter too and I remember people going around saying that.
I agree all these majorily stoner-talk scenes should still be left out of the full cut, but an extended special edition edited-in version wouldnt be bad, honestly. Just a different vibe to it, man.
@@EmdooeyHe was supposed to have a much bigger role but was a total prick on set apparently as you allude to; they cut a lot of him out / didn’t include him as planned, because of all that. McConaughey on the other hand, was so cool and charismatic all round they gave him a bigger role, and set him on the way to stardom. Goes to show you need to be careful of behaviour on set - especially if it’s your first big role - as it may come back to haunt you. Pickford’s actor was a bit of a Cunt in real life and it maybe cost him a career; McConaughey so cool and chilled he gets more lines, and bigger role that set him up to eventually goes on to become a big star (his performance in true detective is masterful), whereas the Pickford actor has done nothing that I can remember after. (You can even pick up on McConaughey calling him ‘Prickford’ instead of Pickford, in the pool-room scene…….love that subtly - Matthew probably echoing what everyone thought of him on set there 🙌. Fucking brilliant)
Interesting 'cut' scenes. Now with 20/20 hindsight I can pick up things that did not exist back then. Like, nobody called anybody "geeks." That epithet hadn't yet been invented. Same for the girl putting on 'wand' style lipgloss - nope. We had Bonne Bell Lipsmackers and roller ball lipgloss. Just minor things, but when you lived through it, you know what's real and what's not. Loved this movie, brought back so many of my own memories!

is there some sort of bacstory i'm missing or are you just saying he's a natural?
@@NotDingse probably saying he was just a natural dbag
UFBear15 oh wow, is that like a known thing?
@@NotDingse Yes he's a known asshole.
The hallway scene of benny and don should've been in the movie 100%
Definitely my favorite movie of the 90’s, these scenes are great
The crazy thing I was born in the year this was set in and graduated when it was released
Born in 1976 although I graduated in 1994.
The deleted scenes really show how much of a sociopath Benny was. Arguably worse than obannion.
There's a good deleted scene where O'Banion comes back after the paint incident and he seems alot more humbled and chilled out and realizes what a jerk he was being and how it was supposed to be in good fun.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 I don’t know if he became more humble. In that deleted scene he bullys another kid to get away from the keg and he’s already planning on getting those freshmen back.
It seems like Mitch got in with alot of the older kids after the initial paddling though. Don was seen clowning around with him outside the liquor store. Pickford seemed to like him. And Pink too
@vancelubben5300 The Black dude was cool with him too, let Mitch keep his change and gave him a beer. Melvin was nice in the movie, but these deleted scenes make him seem more like a bully with Benny and OBannio
Gilligan island theory absolutely kills me every time I🤣
I kind of think it doesn’t make a whole lotta sense considering every episode the men on the island spent their time finding ways to get off the island where the women basically lounged about with the the exception of Gilligan destroying every plan but he did try
It's like an alternate version of the movie. Like a tv show.
WhiteyMcWhiteWhite i think part of that is the lack of soundtrack music
7:24 “Slater! give me some drugs man!!” Ughhhhh” love that bit
Richard Linklater’s iconic project .. this movie deserved like so many sequels with the same cast .. Truly Epic !
A sequel would never be the same. This was the summer before senior year. Truly an amazing time especially pre 9/11. I am class of 2000 and I got to have a truly great childhood and teenage years.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 now that you said this. I agree with you :)
I didn't realize until this moment how inexplicable the statue-painting scene was without those establishing and final scenes
Sea of York
It was still pretty understood. Their role was just turned from a major plot point to "look we stole these" and, of course, a couple of acid heads would paint them.
Its like Dazed and Confused part 2
Son~Rize Actually Linklater already did a sort of sequel called Everybody Wants Some
@@rockhero2274 good ass movie
@@rockhero2274 it was a spiritual sequel not an actual one.
The scene with the two girls sitting on the trunk of the car was hilarious.
Parker posey is hilarious.
I love the scene where O'Bannion is telling Pink and the guys about Carl's mom - did everyone notice what Pink says as he's leaving?... "catch you later!" Lol, poor Slater.
They filmed this at my middle school here in Austin texas.we were actually in school while they were filming.my teacher is also in it at the beginning when they were in woodshop, Mr mcfarlen..shout outs to bedichek middle school
🙏🙏💪
I live 2 minutes away from that school
@@dariog36th same🔥
I think Cole Hauser was underrated. To me, he’s the only one who comes off authentically and real. Especially in that truck scene with Affleck. You can tell Affleck is trying to act while Hauser is just natural
you could tell ben was natural friends with Cole considering he cast him in good will hunting
Cole is really good on Yellowstone
Parker Posey is a brilliant improv actress.
I kinda wish the whole movie were in this quality. It'd be like a '70s B-movie. Love seeing my old middle school Bedichek. I hated that fuckin school, but glad it lives on, filmed during the time I went there.
So realistic, the stoner considers helping lift the statue but ultimately decides against wasting the effort and sits back down with a wry smile on his face lol
The scene wit Mitch and pink in the car shoulda stayed... I never understood what pink was bitchin about as the high school football hero but it makes sense now, to many rules and authority and I know how that feels from workin.. plus it showed he had other motives in takin Mitch along askin about his sister.
The coach didn't care about him he only cares about his next district title. If the coach genuinely cared he wouldn't have been so judgemental of Pink's friends (his REAL friends).
the scenes individually weren't much, collectively as part of a bigger whole, it would be awesome. its like apocalypse now: redux, it adds new scenes and fleshes out the others. i definitely would want a deeper look into that day
I know lot of people hate o'bannion the bully. But his energetic presence has been a blessing to the movie. And am really happy to see o'bannion back after he was attacked with paint.
Lol yeah they should have kept that one in, I hate he just left movie after he got paint dumped on him
Been Dazed and Confused for so long it’s not true. Wanted a woman never bargained for you.....
Great song.
Tony and sabrina too underrated they have so much chemistry and this scene rlly shows it. not to mention their kiss scene which is probably my fav onscreen kiss they’re just too cute it’s so realistic
Too bad he's openly gay in real life and claimed he was sexually abused by Kevin Spacey when he was younger.
i really wanna watch a cut of the movie with all these scenes put back in
Jason London was so fucking handsome ❤️ love him
This has been my favourite movie for years.. and I was born in 95 so it’s not like I can even relate, I was born in the wrong generation.. everything about this movie is what I love, especially the music and the cars! And far out they could’ve fixed the exhaust leak on the cop car before filming!
Michelle and Kevin deserve more parts
Yesssss
You could tell anyway but these scenes really establish Benny as a damaged hot-head. The only time you see it in the movie is at the party while talking to Randall.
The scene where he can't get the beer open should have stayed. It was well acted by all and shows that he's just a 17yo kid that thinks he knows it all. He can't even open a beer at times.
It's good that most of this was cut though.
Yes I agree. Based on these deleted scenes, you can see that Benny has more depth to him as a fictional character and some backstory. O'Bannion more of a one-dimensional typical bully-jock, but Benny seems to enjoy beating freshmen because he's been abused himself (the "This is gonna hurt you more than me" line), he's somewhat more intelligent than O'Bannion, but has these sociopathic tendencies.
I had never seen that scene before where "OB Badass" shows up at the moontower. I had heard about it but didn't know it was actually filmed. The final cut makes it seem as Benny is done with the paddling at least for a while, but that scene shows that even when they're out partying, he's going on about "getting them later". These scenes are very interesting for us diehard D&C fans, but I'm glad they were left out. The final-cut Benny is much more tolerable this way.
I like how that aspect is revisited when Don reveals the trunk full of beer to the girls. (About 49 min. in) He is so distracted he can’t open his beer.
I don’t know. I kind of like how they took those scenes out. The movie already had O’Bannion as the hot head, having Benny would’ve been a tad redundant. I also thought the talk he had with Randall near the end wasn’t really hot-headed. More of a guy who wanted best for himself and his friends.
@Eddie R God, please shut the fuck up you fake tough guy piece of shit.
Even the movie's final cut I find Benny worse than Obannion: Egging on Clint to beat up Mike, getting angry at Don for giving a beer to a freshman they just beat the shit out of,
These scenes would have made it an entirely different move. Darker and cynical. The editor did a fantastic job of cutting out the BS imho, to make it the more light hearted, fun movie we know.
Just remember the final product would have added music and sound fx to these scenes
I think I like them like this…. Quiet, reflective moments
4:35 I swear to god, Floyd is my dream boy.
I remember watching this like two years ago and couldn’t even finish it because it was boring to me the fact that there wasn’t a real plot line, but I just watched it again the other night and I can say this movie is now one of my favorite movies. So beautifully shot. Really true to the time period and the dialogue and interactions are so real. ❤️
The same thing happened to me! I turned it off 10 mins in, came back to it maybe a week or two later, and now it's my absolute favorite movie of all time. 😂
@@sarakf410 so just state of mind i guess
If you ask many of my friends, this movie was very loosely based on us(our group) We all drove classic cars in high school and would essentially take over when we showed up. We also hung out at The OK Hotel in Seattle and the many other music venues.
Same 😊 Saw this movie in theater in the U district I was 17 and drove a 71 mustang muscle car, my best friend drove a Camaro. Her brother was a drug dealer, our friends were stoners and threw house parties every weekend. we even seemed to dress similar even though it was ‘94 Seattle. My first time singing on stage was OK hotel ‘95
A timeless classic I watch it atleast 10 times a year
I can see why a lot of these scenes were deleted. However they are cool to watch as it shows more about characters that only had a few lines or characters that were Shown but had maby a line or 2. This is the best High School party movie of all time. Everything is very subtle in this movie because it doesnt have any over arcing story.
I was 13, the summer of 76, It was a great time. Music rocked weed was cheap, q.p. was only 85 bucks. Great memories loved this film!
Whats q.p?
@@dannie2712 quarter pound of weed! Not ditch weed either! There was a white tonne of "cheese" too!! Dirt cheap! Cheese= hashish 🤫
*shite
@@aimeejutz4992 that is cheap damn those days must of ruled. Where im from they used to sell it in an ounce nicknamed oz for about $250 all skunk weed a good 15+ years ago. These days you will be lucky to get it for $300-350.
Quater pound=4 ounces lol the difference is huge.
19:36 Should've kept the tony & sabrina scene. God, so beautiful. This scene has more chemistry than any other film I've ever seen.
It's very Linklater, isn't it?
Ikr! Their relationship was so interesting to see grow.
these scenes makes me like Pink even more.
who ever put this on. thank you big boss
Some really great character development in this movie!
I'm glad they deleted pretty much all of this. The only one I didn't mind was the talk about how playing football was fun in middle school but in high school it doesn't feel as fun. The actor who played Mitch didn't really say anything interesting but Jason London is just so damn good.
Agreed, no Director's Cut needed as it would detract from an already great movie.
You’re a dumbass bro! Some of these scenes are funny and historical.
I don't think I've ever been more in agreement with a youtube comment, Seth! Perfectly said!
Yes but in the car Pink says guys _____ before the game and stuff. And Mitch replies that’s gross. What did Pink say?
I feel like some of the scenes woupd set stuff up, like j always wondered how they knew about the baseball game or what the girls were doing since they randomly show up.
I just got so deep in thought and analyzed tf out of this...
At first at 4:24 I was like DAMN, so open about the racism! But immediately after I was like "ahh. I get it. It's the early 70s. The Vietnam war had JUST ended". My parents were teenagers in the 70s. My dad tells me stories of watching the TV to hear the lottery of birthdates of who was getting drafted. My dads date was never called. That war effected EVERYONE back then. Teens were getting sent off to die in the war. Teenage girls and women's boyfriends/husbands were being killed. Parents were losing their sons to the war. Kids were losing dads. Kids and teens today have no idea how scary of a time this was. They were freakin DRAFTED. Basically kidnapped by the govt to go fight in the war. They had no say so. Kids from the 80s and 90s (I'm an 80s baby, 90s kid/preteen) dont even know what it was like to live during a time like that, but our parents did live through it. Our parents were the ones getting drafted and fighting in it.
Good insight. 👍🏻
My pops filled out my draft card this was the late 90’s in hawaii
I left him and the state
Definitely. I remember that still pretty much being a lot of peoples views as a kid in the early/mid 80s. Because their we're still so many Nam vets who were relatively young. 35 and under. Along with all the relatives/loved ones of people who died fighting.
Yeah, and you know who else was affected? The Vietnamese who had their daughters raped, and had (from their point of view) a bunch of yahoos bringing death and destruction all over their cities and countrysides.
im getting around their age and seriously this guys seems more mature than most people i know
Whats your snap?
13:23 was the scene that wasn't in the script that Joey and Parker wanted to have for themselves, absent of stereotypical girl talk (boys, parties, etc.)
Also, fun nod to Jaws (which was released one year prior this movie was based) at 23:40
Man I miss time before smart phones and doing this kind of thing and just doing wild stuff was how you enjoyed yourselves.
This explains some things in the movie that I missed because I thought I wasn’t paying enough attention. I love the Welcome Back Kotter references. I think the Gimmee Drugs thing is a reference to an episode of Kotter too and I remember people going around saying that.
Glad these scenes were removed, some painful articulations of meaning of life. Kudos to the editing!
not painful. truthful.
this is like getting closure
They banned hazing in my senior year... I had to take it but didn't get to dish it out. FAH-Q!
I agree all these majorily stoner-talk scenes should still be left out of the full cut, but an extended special edition edited-in version wouldnt be bad, honestly. Just a different vibe to it, man.
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!
This movie had me feeling like I could get away with all kinds of stuff back in the day.
Interesting to see these,there must be a lot more stuff though as Linklater talked about the first cut being 2 hours 45 mins or something like that...
So cool. Thanks for this it was great to see those characters again.
19:35 wonderful to get more of Christin Hinojosa
school days some of the best days of your life, but every day is school day...even more so when you leave school.
The Parker Posey and Joey Lauren Adams scene is the best
This movie captured this whole time period for me. It just needed a party band like the one I was In to get that last bit of verisimilitude.
I love this film. These deleted scenes are golden, thanks so much for uploading.
You just got to keep on livin man.. L.I.V.I.N
Adam Goldberg(Mike) went on to play Pvt Mellish in Saving Private Ryan with Giovanni Ribisi the brother of the red haired actress.
They really did Benny dirty, half his scenes got left on the cutting room floor
I just noticed this now. That black chevy C10 had a 1980’s steering wheel in it. ..lol still an awesome looking truck and movie 😁
This my favorite movie I love everything about it
Imagine, there's the movie, there's this and 40 minutes of unreleased footage.
Man..w/out all the music its kinda..weird..but Parker Posey still gets it 😍😍😍
Good old days these new generations have no clue
Those statues make so much sense now
Saturdays always felt like shit after Friday nights.
I think you’re doing it wrong then
Pickford was so cool in the movie, wish he had more scenes lol
Lol. The reason Pickford doesn’t have more scenes is because he was pretty much the opposite of cool in real life.😂
Em Dooey lol yes I’ve heard the actor (Shawn Andrews) was an asshole on set, and didn’t interact with the rest of the crew really
@@EmdooeyHe was supposed to have a much bigger role but was a total prick on set apparently as you allude to; they cut a lot of him out / didn’t include him as planned, because of all that.
McConaughey on the other hand, was so cool and charismatic all round they gave him a bigger role, and set him on the way to stardom.
Goes to show you need to be careful of behaviour on set - especially if it’s your first big role - as it may come back to haunt you.
Pickford’s actor was a bit of a Cunt in real life and it maybe cost him a career; McConaughey so cool and chilled he gets more lines, and bigger role that set him up to eventually goes on to become a big star (his performance in true detective is masterful), whereas the Pickford actor has done nothing that I can remember after.
(You can even pick up on McConaughey calling him ‘Prickford’ instead of Pickford, in the pool-room scene…….love that subtly - Matthew probably echoing what everyone thought of him on set there 🙌. Fucking brilliant)
Interesting 'cut' scenes. Now with 20/20 hindsight I can pick up things that did not exist back then. Like, nobody called anybody "geeks." That epithet hadn't yet been invented. Same for the girl putting on 'wand' style lipgloss - nope. We had Bonne Bell Lipsmackers and roller ball lipgloss. Just minor things, but when you lived through it, you know what's real and what's not. Loved this movie, brought back so many of my own memories!
LOL jesus these deleted scenes make the movie way more raunchy
