What did they have to remove to get an R rating?
It says in the alternate versions section that some stuff was removed for an R. What is the missing footage?
shareCurrently looking at the workprint. So far there's:
*A longer version of the Monster battling the dogs with more dialouge and moaning as Victor tires to convince the ship mates to leave and extra shots of the Creature killing the dogs brutally.
*The scene where Victor visits his mother's grave is moved to after he proposes to Elizabeth as well as some alternate dialouge when Elizabeth is trying to get him to go outside, before the storm sequence.
*The lecture scene is longer with more dialouge and pauses from Cleese.
*Victor's encounter with Cleese's character before he shows his work is slighty extended and indicates Victor wasn't the only one who questioned what he's looking for.
*The scene with the reanimated monkey's paw has alternate angles and a longer conversation bewteen Victor and his professor as he feels more interested in this study and wants to help him.
*The converstation at dinner has some longer shots and more lines on questioning the idea of reanimating a dead body. Following that is a entire sequence where they try to reanimate an old lady's dead dog that is in half, but fails.
*The hanging of the patient that killed the professor is longer as we see him get hanged rather than partly.
*A scene where Elizabeth is writting a letter to Victor and worries about him greatly as she mentions he talks less of his professor.
*Before he gives life to his creation, Victor writes in his journal about the "small of rotting flesh in the city" and that he must "stike now."
(More to come soon.)
