I'm 41 years old and this was one of my favorite movies growing up. 11/28/2022 is the first time seeing or even hearing about these deleted scenes. I thank you for posting.
Be cool if someone put these scenes back in the movie and added some cool 80s music in the background and had a super cut of the movie we could call it maybe not the directors could maybe we could call up the fan cut the super fan cut.
Yeah the chariot race was rather conventional and boring,the nerds winning based on physical fitness doesn’t make sense, unless there was some ingenious ploy they had, that was actually funny.
Lol that scene was so out of context and over the top, there's no need for that guy to even be there. There were a lot of ways to play the whole racial fish out of water element, which the movie did well, although I imagine it makes some soft people uncomfortable today. But they went with full on getting disowned by a family member. This movie was about 20 years late for a thing like that.
Yep she was much more attractive in those flicks. They really made her look as poor as possible in Nerds, lol. Interestingly she gave up acting completely after the 80s.
A friend of mine was an extra in the movie "Singles" in a scene where a band was playing, only it wasn't. The band only pretended to play, so the actors could speak their lines. The music was dubbed in later. My friend said it was surreal beyond belief, it was like she'd done gone deaf, because everyone was so quiet!
@@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid I like this scene as well and would’ve liked it if they left it in but then they’d either have to show the Vegas scenes or cut out Gilbert saying that they were going to Vegas. I’m glad that they didn’t use those Vegas scenes cuz those were awful lol I’m also curious about that Stan phone call scene! What does he owe that nerd money for?🤔
"Hair Pie" Sank you very much, lol I was just a kid when this movie came out and it was definitely my favorite movie for a while. Lol When Booger wanted to get their party rolling I had no idea what Reefer was but i knew whatever is was it made the party!! 😂😂
I feel like I'm 13 again, staying up late at a friend from church's house whose big brother had a friend spending the night too. We all 4 snuck into the living room to watch a movie and to our luck this movie started as soon as we turned on their old console TV. We hugged and giggled that we were going to get to watch an R rated movie (their parents were super strict)! I'll never forget it.
i love scenes where the ADR and other post-production things aren't added in yet. it's a lot of fun seeing some additional stuff even if it's clear why they were deleted.
The last deleted scene is interesting, but I liked it better the way they showed it in the film, where it looks like the Tri-Lambs came home after the Alpha Betas left after trashing the house.
So, here's a guess about the nerdy guy on the phone with Stan... there was a discarded subplot with Stan actually revealing himself to be nerdy when he was alone in his room (wearing glasses reading a book). My guess is this guy caught him in this state at some point and was extorting him to keep the secret.
And it comes full circle in one of the sequels that Stan "comes out of the closet" and admits that he was always secretly a nerd but was pressured to be the preppy jock a$$hole type instead
I related to this movie when I first saw it. I was around 12 or 13 and one of my schools biggest nerds. I got tears in my eyes at the end. We are the champions!!!!
@@sha11235haha...a much better race too...they used brains and science to overcome the odds. I think booger could have won the race w/o the pills, but wouldn't been as funny 😂
the scenes would be polished and sound track music added so its hard to say what would make the cut - but as they stand, all these scenes seem to detract from the awesomeness of the complete movie. This is one of my absolute favourite desert island movies - I think they made the right choice
@@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid perhaps. it's kinda like watching Star Wars deleted scenes, if you a kid during the first one in 1976 - you hold the original finished product with almost an untouchable regard haha - If Revenge of the Nerds added these scenes in 1984, I'd probably love them. IDK, my adult gut reaction differs from the kid, / teenager reactions Thanks for posting. I love this movie - it's my happy place to escape woke culture haha
Great examples of how to trim the fat. I'm watching it right now. These scenes would have lessened the film. I did roll my eyes at the steller "trumpet playing" in the film though. The bad trumpet playing fould have stayed
Actually, I'm glad they took the "shvartzer" scene out. As a Jew, I find it offensive on many levels. Jews that I know are not racists. And the word "shvartzer" means "black". Nothing more, nothing less. The common Jewish name "Schwartz" is the same word. And no Jewish person that I know would have had a tyrade about them joining a Black fraternity (especially if they explained the reasoning).
@@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid lol I picked on nerds sometimes in high school, but nothing major just messing with them, but I did like them more than the cocky jocks
@@brotheldan2009 right on, it was certain nerds that were cool, you could hang out with specific ones maybe my friends were ok with, i liked the fact that i could ask some questions once in a while and get a good answer lol, mostly comics and shit like that. the jocks were aholes hahahaha
My theory on the nerd on the phone, he was getting paid to do Stan's bookwork to keep him in college, but Stan wasn't really the bigshot he pretended to be.
That first scene is odd 😅 From a RotN wiki 🤓: "A deleted scene during the first film shows Stan in debt, and the creditor turns out to be Stan's brother, a nerd who is losing patience with Stan's non-payment. He calls the Alpha Beta house to collect, which intimidates Stan as this is in the middle of a jock party. Had this scene made the final cut, it would have better explained Stan's dislike of nerds. The creditor, who looked like an older version of Gilbert with a mustache, was played by Adam Frank."
i'd had a theory for a couple of years about the latent jewishness of "the nerds" as though the two things almost 90% overlap on a venn diagram. the deleted scene with (i'm pretty sure that michael lerner..... which is an added layer of awesome) cements that connection as explicit.
I actually think it would have been very useful to keep the stan brother conversation in because it makes sense why stan feel shameful after Gilbert's speech. His brother was a nerd and suffered like stan made others suffer too
Ok, these scenes didn't add. They detracted. And they pushed it over the edge a bit too much from a comedy to....something else. I'm happy these fell on the floor before I saw this in the theater when it came out.
John Goodman practically carried that movie. I learned so much from this movie. I consider it part of my childhood. The best part, hair pie. I learned what hair pie was.
@@nightowlchad I had a chance to meet Don Gibb (Ogre) in the early 2000's. It was an accidental meeting and we were at the same restaurant. He seemed like a pretty chill dude.
some of the dvds are platinum editions, which has special features not seen in the normal dvds you see , there are just regular releases and then the platinums. just sayin , thanks for watching
The racist uncle scene is super weird....also don’t like the convention scene where Bernie Casey asks to kick the nerds out. It doesn’t make sense with his character in the rest of the movie, how he’s always supportive of them. Good cuts.
A subtext of the movie was always trying to cast “nerds” as a protected group. The movie tried to draw a parallel between the plight of the nerds and Blacks during the civil rights movement of the 1960’s. I feel like that scene was the director trying to dig deeper into that narrative.
That's what I was trying to figure out. Maybe Stan pays the Nerd to do his school work and stuff to keep his GPA up to stay campus president or something.
Some of these sequences could of worked but also would of slowed the movie down. The vegas trip needed to be rounded off with Gilbert standing up to his racist Uncle which would of convinced him the 'Nerds' have character and integrity to UN who witnessed it. The final scene was handled better in the theatrical release. The Alphas man handling the nerd and vandalizing their home in front of them would of been to much. By having it happen off screen and the nerds discovering it the parity of emotions can be displayed. Gilbert who grows angry versus Lewis who falls into acceptance and despair.
I'm assuming there's a double secret Deleted Scene where they explain how the Nerds managed to win the chariot race, a completely physical challenge, against the Alpha Betas...
I'm guessing because Wormser was just a kid, so they had the lightest chariot to pull. Another possible reason was because the Mu's were doing most of the pulling. Some of them were supposed to be athletic as demonstrated in the arm-wrestling event when the one girl almost beat Ogre.

I thought the nerd on the phone was Gilbert wearing a fake mustache.
My eyes was blown 😳 too
I'm thinking the same thing.
Stunt double!I'm thinking maybe his big brother blackmailing him!And the reason he hates nerds😂
That was a weird subplot. Never made it into the movie release
It is the same actor as gilbert different hairstyle and a fake mustache...as a different character..
I never knew there were deleted scenes and I’ve been watching this film for over 35 years
All movies have deleted scenes, bc formats usually cause them to cut certain time parameters.
Glad these were cut. Especially the long single takes. Stops the movie cold.

Ok they should've kept the Lambda national Fraternity meeting in😂 classic
Seeing those guys in dashikis is hilarious, and for some reason I liked Booger the most.
One of the most epic movies of 1984, that includes the deleted scenes. Thanks for putting this on RUclips.

Nerds in the eighties, hipsters in the 2020's.
wow these deleted scenes were eye opening. I never knew gilbert had a trust fund or a racist uncle

Hard to believe Judy was Jordon in Real Genius. and Marcia in The Outsiders.
And Suzi in Valley Girl (1983)
Yep she was much more attractive in those flicks. They really made her look as poor as possible in Nerds, lol. Interestingly she gave up acting completely after the 80s.
Yeah, she really looked different in each of those roles.
Oh shit. She was marcia from the outsiders
I’m surprised she didn’t get super popular, she’s a versatile actress.
Watching the Alpha Betas dance to no music was something else.
those dance moves 😆

Explains the inconsistency of the Greek Games scoreboard at times.
Saw the movie at the theater. Tells you how old I am. Great movie.
The first deleted scene looks like Gilbert is on the phone talking to Stan.
i thought that was him too at first
Should have kept the Judy and Gilbert scene. It was touching to see them express themselves to one another
i have watched it so many times now, and it keeps getting better, i cant believe they cut that one, i really like it.

It was a rather long scene and was most likely removed for pacing purposes.
They did sort of have that anyway from what we saw.

Fun fact. The girl that played "Judy" in Nerds was Jordan in "Real Genius". Michelle Meyrink. I never knew that after all these years.
I will remember her as Suzi in Valley Girl and Leslie in The Joy Of Sex

Big deal, did he get in her pants?
The last deleted scene is interesting, but I liked it better the way they showed it in the film, where it looks like the Tri-Lambs came home after the Alpha Betas left after trashing the house.

Greatest movie line ever. Back in the 90's in highschool and college we used to say that to girls openly...🤣🤣
As a kid, I was so confused when Booger used the same line when they found that weed on the island, in part 2
