General Chamberlain, My HERO!
Sam Elliot and many others of the Cast did a great job representing our HEROs and Leaders of this Time Period.
General BUFORD is right, Politicans and others have no problem asking another man to die for them.

@Chubachus - "is there going to be a disturbance in our town?" Yeah, bad. Somewhere in gettysburg i'm sure there was a college girl in a theater department they could have recruited for that part instead. And the mayor guy was epically bad, but so too was the camera work. Sam did have a great retort, "when the shootin stops" haha

@galderton At 2:10 he is shacking his head, knowing he was terrible. :D

I can see why they deleted this scene

I agree that the townspeople are fairly bad actors. I wouldn't have minded this scene staying in though simply for the look of disgust on General Buford's face. Sam Elliot did a great job with this part.

These scenes are also on the LaserDisc version if you have one of those lying around.

this was on the vhs set that came with the gold tapes. I had the vhs box before this and it dosent have these scenes. Lets face it they are some sucky acting on the civilian parts and don't really add anything. The only civilian scene that they kept makes sense the girl asking the yankees i thought the war was down south.

poor acting

"Nothing the cavalry can't handle"
Aah, I love that guy
The guy that says "there are johnny rebs everywhere, everywhere," is the same guy in God's and Generals who greets Lee and Jackson in Fredericksburg after the battle... The mayor is TERRIBLE in this clip......

@galderton I heard he was a friend of Ron Maxwell's and Maxwell owed him a favor or two.

@Chubachus I hear that most of them are friends that Ron Maxwell owed favors to. He was in financial trouble over the years and a lot of people took him in and helped him out.

THANKS! I've never seen many of these scenes before. I still don't understand why they've never released a directors cut on DVD of this movie, I assume these scenes were in the VHS box set that had all that extra footage? Man I'd like to see this as it was originally cut...

@Willysmb44 There were at least 3 "cuts." The final cut was the theatrical release. The cut with these deleted scenes were in the VHS box set, like you thought. There was also a "first cut" that was over 6 hours long. I don't know if that first cut still exists but I hope they're doing something with the box set cut for the 150th anniversary of the battle.
