Blue Thunder (1983) - these releases contain one additional scene not included on the DVD/Blu-ray versions.

More than one scene: 😃

If you mean that one shot that’s shown earlier then your right.

Do all the LDs contain the extended version? I thought it was just the pan and scan releases?

Where did you hear that it was only the Pan & Scan releases?

Another entry for your list is Explorers. The 80s home video releases were re-edited by Dante apparently and they include scenes that are not present in the DVD-Blu-ray theatrical version.

Thanks, did all the VHS releases from the 80’s and 90’0s contain this scene?

To clarify, that scene is from the theatrical cut, which has only ever been released on VHS (CIC) in PAL European countries and that was during the 80s/90s. The theatrical cut airs on UK TV fairly regularly.

Explorers UK VHS

Explorers UK VHS II

The current worldwide DVD release by Paramount uses the Dante re-edited “Special Home Version” that was released in the US on LD, VHS and Beta during the 80s.

See below for a thorough discussion of the differences. 😃

Regarding Blue Thunder, I looked into purchasing the US NTSC W/S LD a while back but the one I saw for sale on eBay appeared to have the theatrical running time. This is why I suspected that only the early pan and scan versions contain the additional scenes.

Another entry for your list is, The Charge of the Light Brigade (1968).

All current DVDs use the U.S. cut, which is shorter by 7 minutes. There was a 1992 UK VHS release that featured the original full length version. Whenever it airs on TV, I’ve recorded it, in the hope that the full length version might turn up but nothing so far.

OK, added.

Is the 1992 UK VHS of The Charge of the Light Brigade the longest version available?

Found an upgrade of the European version of Explorers (1985) on LD.

Christine on one of its VHS (or possibly laserdisc) releases it has an extended version which spliced back in many of the deleted scenes which are provided separately on DVD

I know this one is DVD but The Devil’s Advocate has only one home video release that is of the theatrical version due to a lawsuit involving a sculpture from the movie. Only 125,000 DVD copies were made which are extremely OOP now as all other versions are edited to remove the sculpture for the majority of the movie.

Pingu At The Wedding Party (1997). It’s a TV special but the official home video release claims it’s a “feature”, so, uh, yeah. There exists a rare 5 minute cut (the original was about 25 minutes) made of completely new footage. The only trace of it? A low quality video recorded from a VHS. https://youtu.be/dpCtfu3KjPU

If anyone still subscribes to this thread, I have a request to make when it comes to lost deleted scenes. This is for Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

The DVD release contains an abridged version with commentary from Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, and if you insert the DVD into your PC, it contains a link to a now defunct hidden website on the Warner Bros site that shows all the deleted scenes in their full form.

User squeakyboots13 uploaded those scenes onto YouTube, but the video quality is very low, which he says is how they were presented.

I’m not entirely sure if there is a preservation of these scenes in standard definition or even high definition out there, but if there is, could someone here provide me a link to them?

The name’s Lawson. Noah Lawson.

Does anyone know which of The Godfather laserdisc versions contain exclusive additional footage?

I know the fan edit the Chronological Epic from modernknife used shots from a laserdisc release but I don’t know which one(s).

That, I cannot answer, but I do know that according to a Paramount insider, the 1980 home video releases of The Godfather and Part II contain footage - albeit brief, that is absent from all subsequent home video releases: due to the studio’s careless treatment of the negatives during the mid 80s whilst they were preparing a new transfer.

Source: http://godfathermuseum.blogspot.com/2015/03/screen-shots-and-technical-errata.html

The first transfers were done in 1980 for VHS, CED, and Laserdisc. The original negatives had been used to strike new prints as Parts 1 and 2 were re-issued several times throughout the 70’s and so by the time that they had already been run through the ringer. So even on those first home video releases the print looked like shit. They made a transfer from the negatives onto U-Matic tape.

Paramount was reissuing most of their catalog and Part I and II needed a new transfer… They couldn’t find the interpositive [a first-gen dupe of the original negative] so they glued the negative back together with chewing gum and scotch tape. Only a slight exaggeration. And they complete fucking ruined the negative in the process.

So that’s why you have more visual information in the first-gen releases, simply put the dissolve doesn’t completely mask the image like it does in the second gen transfer. I would guesstimate that for every scene with a dissolve, you’re missing about three feet of footage [about 2 seconds of runtime]. That footage is gone. For good. And the Restoration edition comes from those same botched negatives. They’re only preserved on those first gen home video releases.

I wonder if the new restoration was able to restore the original dissolves. I mean, according to the official press release:

The monumental effort included the following:

Over 300 cartons of film were scrutinized to find the best possible resolution for every frame of all three films.
Over 4,000 hours were spent repairing film stains, tears, and other anomalies in the negatives.
Over 1,000 hours were spent on rigorous color correction to ensure the high dynamic range tools were respectful of the original vision of Coppola and cinematographer Gordon Willis.
In addition to the 5.1 audio approved by Walter Murch in 2007, the original mono tracks on The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II have been restored.

“Fortress” prision break movie starring Christopher Lambert has an unrated cut only releaeed on Vhs and Laserdisc. There is extra gore that was cut out of the DVD and subsequent releases. It’s around 8 seconds cut not much but still it’s a bit censored and unreleased in modern format.

Although your qualification criteria regarding TV cuts when it comes to “Angelheart” It’s the complete reverse. Although the film was censored for TV the cut supervised by Alan Parker to remove nudity could be considered superior in that it it has unique footage that helps explain the story better. The TV broadcast version has never been released. So this one can’t go on your list but I’d like to log it as a unique cut.

These films have had some of the deleted scenes released on DVD/Blu-ray, but I’m not sure to what extent

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978) - DVD/Blu-ray here and here listed as having deleted scenes, but I’m not sure if these are the same ones from the Australian release.
Barbarian Queen (1980) - Shout! Factory released the unrated material on the Double Feature DVD/Blu-ray and an Integral version released on German DVD/Blu-ray, but I"m not sure to what extent these scenes were released
https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=1870781

Sea of Love (1995) - DVD/Blu-ray here
and here are three deleted scenes totaling 6 minutes. The three additional scenes add up to only 8 minutes, so I’m wondering if it’s only two.

If anyone has any of these DVD/Blu-ray’s and can verify these releases, please feel free to share them here.

One particular VHS for Sea of Love (that I posted to myspleen) has an extended version that’s never been released.

The TV version included two of the three additional scenes from the VHS. One is of Frank Miller falsely arresting a bodyguard and the other is when his ex-girlfriend comes to see him at the station; so I’m wondering if those are the scenes included on the DVD/Blu-ray as Deleted Scenes.

Voyage of the Damned (a true story about Jews trying to escape the holocaust on a trans-Atlantic boat ride, and not having much luck sadly) apparently has a single release from 1980 with a version almost half an hour longer.

Adding this one. I think the same version is also on Laserdisc
