Easy Money - 1983 - Deleted Boxing Scene? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

cloggedmind · 04-19-2021, 02:41 PM

Anyone care to share? This bit where Monty has a nightmare at a boxing match was added for cable airings and not present in the theatrical presentation.

Not on domestic vhs, Beta, laserdisc, dvd or Bluray.

Anyone?

Have you seen this traded in the past? I might have it, but I need to check a tape.

It was on DailyMotion back when they were good, y'know? Just the deleted scene, not the whole movie. Internets research suggests the extended cut made it to a Greek vhs release with an English soundtrack and all, but which tape? The genius who supposedly had it conveniently couldn't share the barcode or other info.

I had it taped off HBO on a vhs (in glorious slp mode!) with Tim Conway's "The Long Shot". That tape long ago absconded/disappeared after an umpteenth moving house.

Funny, I always thought this one would be easier to track down than it is.

Ya I think I have seen that..... They did the same to STAR TREK - The motion picture .. In 1983 they made a TV version and added a bunch of stuff that isnt it the original.... (Which makes it not quite as good really) - I got a copy of the original but it wasnt easy to get lemme tell ya! (Mostly the 1983 one is out there)

The one Star Trek change that bugs me is the addition of the faces during the mind meld in part VI. I think Nick Meyer insisted that the change be made as he figured casual viewers wouldn't remember who the characters were by name at the end of the film? But it cuts into the tension and is mostly a distraction that looks like a network movie promo. And, it is the de-facto version, now.

Looks like I do have this. Recorded from HBO in 1985. Complete with all the promos leading up to the next movie. I'll try to get it transferred in the next week or two.

Wow your lucky you have it in analogue my friend

Nice. Thanks for the link! Saved. Won't be "lost" by me again! LOL

I'll take a copy when it's available.

Thanks,

Would love to have the whole film intact, but the clip will do if not. Fills in the space nicely, and makes me feel less like I’m remembering something that didn’t happen: or something like that!

Zoinks · 05-15-2021, 07:55 PM

I'm just waiting on blank discs to arrive. It might not even be rare by the time they get here, but that's alright, too.

KRW · 05-15-2021, 08:24 PM

I'd love to trade for it. Give me a PM.

If I remember, the 1992 VHS of the movie by budget label Promotional Concept Group was sourced from a 16mm copy and it may have been a TV edit. It might be intact on that version.

I wonder if my copy has the same promos as yours if it was recorded in April or May 1985.
