There is some deleted scenes on the new Blu-Ray but I think the Kurgen killing Yung Dol Kim is lost…
I suppose we should also add to the list.
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Steven Spielberg) - The theatrical cut has some bad language that was removed and also a scene in the bar fight …
In the original 1981 theatrical version of Raiders, there are a few additional seconds during the Raven Bar fight where the Giant Sherpa (played by Pat Roach) shoves Indy against several walls while one of the Nazi henchman laughs. This footage was deleted in all re-release prints and video releases.
It’s never been released in it’s theatrical form but again was on TV I think in P&S
Can anyone actually confirm this though?
It could be one of those rumours…
Fascinating. I wonder exactly why this was cut…
A guy told me recently that when he saw the film in theaters in 81 he saw a Nazi soldier hit in the head by the brick Indy pushed out to escape the Well of Souls. On the version I own I only see the soldier on the ground as they leave, but not him actually being hit in the head and dying. I’ve not been able to find this cut mentioned anywhere else so perhaps his memory is incorrect.
