A cut scene from the shining

[daisyrandone08]

finally came across this scene..I'm glad kubrick cut it out lol

Can't believe the 3hr version of this film hasn't been released in the uk.

I watched this on the g4 channel where they place uncut movies and tv shows a couple of nights ago and it was the first time I have ever seen this scene

Kubrick removed 30 minutes from the film after it debuted to mixed reviews in the US and had it released in Europe in the shortened form. The 2 1/2 hour version is the one that has always been released in the US. It has this scene, four more with Halloren, a scene with Danny and a doctor, multiple scenes during the tour of the hotel and later of the three in the hotel. There are 20 shortened or deleted scenes all together. There's also an extended ending that just recently played in New York

yeah, I think it was right to drop this scene

[jasonsbrain2]

This scene was in the original American release. I remember seeing it in the theatre when it first came out. I read that Kubrik later cut some other scenes out for the UK release...

this probabaly cut from the UK version. that version is liek 10 minutes shorter

This is not in the UK Kubrick Collectors Edition DVD boxset, I just watched it..... but is perhaps in the blu ray version at least. The scene is visceral and surreal but unnecessary ultimately so was deleted. Also deleted were the conversation with the nurse about Danny after his first shining episode, and Halloran walking in to the rangers office to make a phone call. They just slowed down the pace, though the nurse scene was very interesting implying abuse of Danny by the father!

[yazzman13]

[Trolllkarl]

[legendofbirdbridge]

@Trolllkarl well you have obviously seen an un edited version the scene was not in the official release.

@Trolllkarl

Originally it was cut for the European release as well as the scene with the Dog man. It's also cut from television to save time. But your right, it's not a deleted scene.

[snakelemon]

@Trolllkarl it is, because there are two releases, the international release and the us-release (24 minutes longer)^^ and you saw the us-release, kubrick left the scenes out for the european version, coz he thought, they wouldn't need added scenes to understand the story.
