Most ridiculous TV edit of a movie?

[SweetZombieJesus]

Pulp Fiction usually gets pretty butchered on broadcast and cable TV, but the worst TV edit I've ever seen was House Party 3 (don't ask why I was watching House Party 3). Mickeyfickey in place of motherfucker? And motorscooter? What a bunch of mother father chinese dentists.

[disgruntella]

1. they did that to "do the right thing" too!

I originally saw that in the theater, then on cable -- can't remember the channel. It was "mickey-frickey" this and "mickey-frickey" that. My old roommate and I said that to each other for a year afterward. LAME!

2. How about the Caddyshack scene where Bill Murry is firing up the

huge doobie with Chevy Chase? Hilarious scene that got cut from network TV thanks to the Reagan "just say no" (to humor, apparently) policy.

3. "Deep Throat" was too heavily edited on the Disney Channel

:)I hope you are calmer then you were earlier and still employed.

4. Repo Man

The director did his own version for TV, it's a classic in its own right.

Melonfarmer. Classic.

5. M.A.S.H.

We used to crack up everytime they would play MASH on network TV. There was this recurring Sgt who kept saying god damned army or some such thing. On the network edit he constantly said glcch damned army. glcch damned army jeep.

6. When spicoli says what a "fuzzin' nerd" about Mr. Hand.

[tridim]

11. "Is he gonna flip? or is he gonna kill us?"

"First he's gonna flip, then he's gonna kill us"

Flip = Shit :)

7. anything on Bravo . . .

they butcher everything, but did a particularly egregious job with The Godfather and Godfather II . . .

9. The irony of it

I remember when the former TNN were doing those uncut and uncensored versions of the Godfather movies they'd blur out the boods, but not rest of the stuff. Odd, isn't it?

14. Then you're lucky

10. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

Not only could they not explain what the problem was between Laura and BOB/Leland -- since they couldn't show the incest scene -- they also had a scene where she walked into the girl's bathroom and then walked back out with a stupid expression on her face with no explanation since they cut out the part where she was snorting coke in the stall.

All in all, this film should NEVER appear on commercial tv...

12. Smokey And The Bandit.

I don't think there's any original dialog in any of the TV edits. How many times can a person hear "Oh fudge".

13. "Ah'll git you, you scumbuzzards!"

Really, making Jackie Gleason "say" scumbuzzard is just stupid. It's sonofabitch.

[MrScorpio]

15. When I saw the Fifth Element on UPN

I nearly flipped.

They screwed up one of my favorite movies BIG TYME!!

[Lady President]

16. My favorite edit

In the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off...

Original: "Sometimes you have to say 'what the fuck.' If you can't say it, you can't do it."

Edit: "Sometime you have to say 'what the hell.' If you can't say it , you can't do it." It doesn't make any sense. If you can't say hell, you can't do hell? How do you hell?


They should have skipped the entire line, but it makes me laugh everytime I hear it. :)

17. Wasn't that Risky Business?

Correct me if I'm wrong

[scarlet_owl]

18. Bull Flippin' Spit from "The Crow"

and Freakin' ash pole. I can't remember where I saw that one.

[SmileyBoy]

19. I think the Comedy Central version of "Half-Baked" was 28 minutes.

TNT cut a good third out of "Fargo", and a whole lot out of "White Men Can't Jump".

[opiate69]

20. Dogma...

I'm sorry, but there's just no damn way to clean Jay's lines up without them sounding like a 2nd grader was saying them.... then again, I guess a lot of them sounded that way to begin with...

[Paragon]

21. Do The Right Thing

Every "motherfucker" became "mikki fikki". Seriously.

[Gore1FL]

22. Johnny Dangerously

They removed "fargin" "Bastages" and "iceholes" from the verbage, but then show a newspaper witht he word "fargin" in it.

I don;t know who did the editing, but there was not one curse in there, and they cut crap out anyways in an illogical and inconsitent manner.

23. The Big Lebowski

I absolutely love watching The Big Lebowski on USA for one line and one line only:

"This is what happens, Larry. This is what happens when you FEED A STRANGER CHINESE FOOD!"
