The sex scene was in the comic, but they totally played it up in the movie. The comic was much less explicit about it. I think they shouldn't have changed that. I do like the change in the ending though, the squid just never really did it for me, framing Dr. Manhatten just makes more sense and sounds more believable.
I love how they handled the death of Mason. The flashbacks to his days of glory, the old man showing up just how awesome he still is... just wow, really
YOU ARE ALL FUCKING DUMB ASSES ....THAT SCENE WASNT TAKIN OUT....BUY THE MOVIE!!!DNT FUCKING WATCH IT ON FX OR SOME SHIT.....I SAW THAT SHIT ON HBO AND THAT SCENE IS THERE!
That said, the sex scenes are important for Dan's character. This is not just a Friday night hook-up. He was impotent until he put the owl suit back on. Being the owl was the defining moment of his life, something he would never admit after he quit. Putting the mask back on and rejoining the good fight made him a whole man again.
I gotta agree, they should've left this scene in theatrical release and cut the sex scene on the Archie short. In the comic said sex scene was only a page long, and the movie version was like five minutes. This scene with Hollis Mason is much more important, since it marks the death of the one true hero in Watchmen.
^^YES!! And the Punch sound effects in this movie (well, in my opinion at least) are WAAYY more effective and realistic sounding than the punch sound effects that they used to use in old movies...Ya know? The ones that used to sound like this....
WHAA-PERK!! <<<Say it fast, then you'll know what I mean
Everyone bitches on youtube so much, god! We can all just agree that the movie should have been 2 hours longer so the whole comic could have been converted to a film. Amirite?
2:32 I know!!! god, the sex scenes were just dumb. they were in the comic book. I'm currently reading it and boy did they leave out a lot of important stuff.
i love the exprassion of the bad guy at 0:40 his like "wtf" and than got a puch to the face! this scene is so well done it should have been in the first version of the movie. The Directors Cut of WATCHMEN kicks ass!
well thats one of the three things i wished they hadn't left out in the film (the other two being dr manhattan exploring mars to see the sights like mount olympus and the giant squid ending but hey i understand the film was long already and they could only fit so much in)
The problem with this cut is that it doesn't fit in with the rest of the story that they did show unless they had more cuts related. But if this was the only cut related to Hollis then it has to be cut
I'm straight and I didn't like the slow mo sex scene. It was very unnecessary. This scene should have replaced it. It also would have suit the "UNRATED" a bit more.
@richieblackheart I guess that's why they deleted this scene. Zach Snyder or someone noticed all of those glaring plot holesbut I don't think Veidt has any concern for hollis mason he didn't know anything about the conspiracy or cared since he was retired
Well I'm lukewarm on him being killed while he does go down like a "G" there's just something that bothers me with this maybe it's those dummies though and old man could bust into a prison and yes I know he had the skills but after retiring for several years those skills get rusty
@ramjet94 Veidt payed them to off Mason. Thats my theory anyway. I doubt a gang of street thugs would even be that stupid to think a guy in his 70's (at least) could perform a jailbreak. And I dont think they would be suicidal enough to go up against a guy they knew has just broken into a prison during a riot and beat the shit out of numerous angry cons and armed guards either.
I was hesitant to see this scene because I hated seeing the poor guy get killed in the comic. But dang. If I had known he was going to be that awesome, I would have written the editor personally to ask him to keep it in.
@1971mav yes. i'm totally homosexual when i don't want to see a naked man's butt in a soft-core porno in a supposed theatrical movie with friends and family.
@bananamansam friends and family? you do know this movie was rated R for a reason right? That sex scene was straight from the comic and i was glad it was left in the movie, this movie was a masterpiece in my opinion, If you had read the Graphic Novel before watching the movie you would know.
@FatalThrive Yeah. you're kind of missing the point here. This scene, the death of Hollis Mason, was kind of a big deal. I guess you would have missed that in the ten minutes you probably flipped through the comic, stopping to fap at the sex scene you're so in love with. Not to mention the reversed engineered squid from another dimension cloned from a dead psychic's brain that actually killed all of new york probably went over your head a little.
@bananamansam Well Responded and very slick. I hate people who try to act like they've loved the series their whole lives, this guy who is in love with this sex scene is defiantly somebody who jumped on the bandwagon because of the film. And was it me or every time i watch this i get chills down my spin when Hollis stops the first punch by grabbing the guys fist?
@bananamansam The sexscene´s just an impression of the extasy they feel of beeing "heroes" again... it is quite important, even though they could have just... made it shorter xD But that´s the way the director makes his movies, explicit violence and sex. I really think this scene should´ve been kept in (Holli Mason scene´s)
@FatalThrive That scene wasn't lifted from the Graphic Novel. The scene in the Novel is just both of them naked, and then implied. You don't see a damn thing.
This is possibly one of the greatest written scenes in film history, the end is sad when he is about to be hit by the trophy. The music just is so godly. I love this movie
Wish this was in the film, its why watchmen so good, more realistic, human emotes rather than superman or spiderman being upset and not beating the shit out of a baddie
@dpman282 lol true. but Rorschach's the kinda guy who takes you in an ally and slaughters you. He never really excessively beats someone in front of a crowd.
Man, I missed the scene from the comic right at the end where the first silk spectre kisses the photograph of the minutemen. Thought it was a shame they didn't have that in the movie, kinda beautiful. But it totally redeemed itself with this scene.
The old hero, reliving the glory days, one last time.
Imo the sex scenes were too romantic, should have been more real more raw like real sex, in watchmen there is a theme to portray things in a sort of black real way, like humid dark streets of new york way. The sex scenes was like spiderman with maryjane but with more nudity it was not intense and didnt belong with the rest of essence of the film... I would have opted to get both the scenes in and redo the sex scenes but rougher with a less geeky nite owl and a more submissive silk specter
There are so many awesome scenes. A lot of them could have been let out, but they're all so awesome. But like the directer said, nobody wants to watch a 10 hour movie.
Therefore, thanks for sharing these deleted scenes in hd :)
HM`s deleted scene puzzled me the most. I can see why others were cut for time & pace but this was just dumb. When I watched it in the theater I wondered why they left it out. I`m just glad they actually filmed it & we get to see it at all.
i just watched the watchmen directors cut with a friend, and we were saying the same thing. WTF why is this not in the theatrical movie its one of the best parts
Thank you for uploading this for everyone to view. I have a question though; Do you know where I could find an online video clip of "The Retired Guys", where Dan is reminiscing with Hollis about the past?
By definition the directors cut is how the director wanted it. The theatrical release is what we see after the editor has trimmed it down some so it doesn't go on too long and so it 'flows' right.
It certainly completes the circle of former superheroes falling to their demise. I always thought they left something untouched, now I know what it was.
its sad when the munitemen picture broke .all of them exept for mothman and silk spectre are dead.i wish they could have shown captian metropilis death.they left out soooo much in this movie
I think it's a bit of a tribute to Night Owl 1 that they thought an old man like him was responsible for breaking Rorschach out of jail rather than his younger protege.
No such thing as an unneeded sex scene. Besides, maybe it wasn't the director that wanted the scene cut out, maybe it was the studio that wanted it out, there are a lot of hands, other than a director that get involved in whats seen in a movie. At least we're getting Director cuts and deleted scene sections with movies now, unlike back in the days of vhs.
Man they should have kept that! What's up with the way the guy's faces change whenever he hits them? Is that supposed to be flashbacks from when he was Night Owl? I never read anything...
That's what I thought. A prequel movie from the times of the minutemen and their adventures would be awesome, although I don't know if anything was ever told about it in the books/comics...and supposedly the creator doesn't want movies
Yeah, Alan Moore hates hollywood so no movie would ever get his blessing, even if it were perfectly recreated, though I'm not too sure about a Minutemen movie. The purpose of The Watchmen was to show the changing political and social climate in comparison to a time that admittedly would look hokey and ridiculous. I'm sure that Zac Snyder would find some way to make it bad ass, but still, Watchmen should just stay as it is.
Alan Moore WAS planning on making a prequel to Watchmen based on the lives of the Minutemen, showing their golden-age attitudes and how the differ from the more modern superhero. But, sadly, Alan Moore left DC after they screwed him over, and now there's little hope for any prequel any time soon.
I agree with adding these scenes in the movie but not at the expense of anything else. Besides, when's the last time you seen a sex scene in a movie based on comic book heroes? Wolverine had plently of opportunities but the PG-13 rating spoiled that. However, Titanic was rated PG-13 but that included nudity. What gives?
It certainly drives the point Rorschach makes about costumed heroes always dying violently. I found it amusing that he actually restrains NiteOwl, maybe worried that his old compatriot was going over the edge as he did with the kidnapping case.
The fact of the matter is, it's a great scene. A bunch of dumb thugs mistake a crimefighter for an old hero, and the man puts up a great fight for his age. At the very least, he's eased into death by visions of what once was, and Nite Owl II's reaction is great. It's an old man powertripping for a few seconds before being killed by a group of 5 young gang members.
I'm rather glad this scene was deleted. This old man did nothing but fight for justice and to make others feel safe and he's killed for it. What bull is that?
That's not the point. Its just the way this scene is edited I think is awesome. The way he sees the thugs as supervillains, he gives everything he got and still put up a good fight. But the cruel truth is that he's just an ordinary guy with ideals and don't have the power to change anything. He's death is heroic and pathetic at the same time. That's what i think is brilliant. You have to be able to catch the second degree in this film.
You way missed the point with that scene...yes it did have the effect of making you uncompfortable.....but it was Hollis Masons last heroic stand......and in all honesty...I think its one of the truely touching and inspiring moments in the film/novel!The Knot Tops did kill Hollis Mason for a reason....a kinda pathetic reason....but it showed an old man rising above them.
even so i kind of wish alan moore had written int oa novel where nite owl 2 finds the bastards responsible and kills them, makes them suffer for what they did
I agree...the sex scenes were way too played up, we could have gotten the point that the two were lovers without that. These two scenes really are crucial in explaining how Dan, even as Nite Owl who tries to maintain a sense of decency and justice can allow himself to feel the justice of retribution...just like Rorschach.
The sex scene was in the comic, but they totally played it up in the movie. The comic was much less explicit about it. I think they shouldn't have changed that. I do like the change in the ending though, the squid just never really did it for me, framing Dr. Manhatten just makes more sense and sounds more believable.

there's a lot they cut out. I highly recommend seeing the Directors Cut, it changes the whole mood of the movie in my opinion.

the fight scene should have been longer and involved him killing a couple knot tops. =)

I think it's a bit of a tribute to Night Owl 1 that they thought an old man like him was responsible for breaking Rorschach out of jail rather than his younger protege.

"Intermezzo", from Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana

It's sounds like an homage to a movie or something. Maybe raging Bull. I'm not sure.

No such thing as an unneeded sex scene. Besides, maybe it wasn't the director that wanted the scene cut out, maybe it was the studio that wanted it out, there are a lot of hands, other than a director that get involved in whats seen in a movie. At least we're getting Director cuts and deleted scene sections with movies now, unlike back in the days of vhs.

Man they should have kept that! What's up with the way the guy's faces change whenever he hits them? Is that supposed to be flashbacks from when he was Night Owl? I never read anything...

Yes, those are all villains from the minutemen.
Diedin2seconds 2 years ago
That's what I thought. A prequel movie from the times of the minutemen and their adventures would be awesome, although I don't know if anything was ever told about it in the books/comics...and supposedly the creator doesn't want movies
YRQRM0 2 years ago
pretty sure that there was a comic book of Minutemen not sure though.
Diedin2seconds 2 years ago
Yeah, Alan Moore hates hollywood so no movie would ever get his blessing, even if it were perfectly recreated, though I'm not too sure about a Minutemen movie. The purpose of The Watchmen was to show the changing political and social climate in comparison to a time that admittedly would look hokey and ridiculous. I'm sure that Zac Snyder would find some way to make it bad ass, but still, Watchmen should just stay as it is.
NotLightYagami 2 years ago
the closest thing to a prequel is Watchmen: Under The Hood, its on DVD.
JoeNostalgiaReturns 2 years ago
Alan Moore WAS planning on making a prequel to Watchmen based on the lives of the Minutemen, showing their golden-age attitudes and how the differ from the more modern superhero. But, sadly, Alan Moore left DC after they screwed him over, and now there's little hope for any prequel any time soon.

man you were so right about that at the end. They should have kept this scene in. Why it was taken out was beyond me.
qdogg5 2 years ago
I agree with adding these scenes in the movie but not at the expense of anything else. Besides, when's the last time you seen a sex scene in a movie based on comic book heroes? Wolverine had plently of opportunities but the PG-13 rating spoiled that. However, Titanic was rated PG-13 but that included nudity. What gives?
3baxcb 2 years ago
Titantic had what they called "artistic nudity". Wolverine was total crap anyway, a sex scene wouldn't have saved that movie.

At least he got to go out with one last fight under his belt- He knew he had no chance, but notice the smile when he landed that first punch.

It certainly drives the point Rorschach makes about costumed heroes always dying violently. I found it amusing that he actually restrains NiteOwl, maybe worried that his old compatriot was going over the edge as he did with the kidnapping case.

Director's Cut
bananamansam 2 years ago
The fact of the matter is, it's a great scene. A bunch of dumb thugs mistake a crimefighter for an old hero, and the man puts up a great fight for his age. At the very least, he's eased into death by visions of what once was, and Nite Owl II's reaction is great. It's an old man powertripping for a few seconds before being killed by a group of 5 young gang members.

I did. That doesn't stop me from hating the scene. Just because it has a point to make doesn't make it any less detestable.

...I have no response for an answer like this.
Except, would you consider a bunch of men killing your grandfather for no particularly good reason, brilliant?
SirLeopoldXXIII 2 years ago
That's not the point. Its just the way this scene is edited I think is awesome. The way he sees the thugs as supervillains, he gives everything he got and still put up a good fight. But the cruel truth is that he's just an ordinary guy with ideals and don't have the power to change anything. He's death is heroic and pathetic at the same time. That's what i think is brilliant. You have to be able to catch the second degree in this film.
FroggyQC23 2 years ago 5
You way missed the point with that scene...yes it did have the effect of making you uncompfortable.....but it was Hollis Masons last heroic stand......and in all honesty...I think its one of the truely touching and inspiring moments in the film/novel!The Knot Tops did kill Hollis Mason for a reason....a kinda pathetic reason....but it showed an old man rising above them.

I agree...the sex scenes were way too played up, we could have gotten the point that the two were lovers without that. These two scenes really are crucial in explaining how Dan, even as Nite Owl who tries to maintain a sense of decency and justice can allow himself to feel the justice of retribution...just like Rorschach.
