Random Deleted Scenes That Would've Changed the Whole Movie (21 items)

(#11) The Amazing Spider-Man 2
- Marc Webb
Who wants to be confused during a superhero movie? Spidey filmmakers got out of a whole lot of explaining when they deleted an odd scene in which Peter Parker visited his father's grave. The weirdness came when Peter found out that his dear old dad was actually alive and had been keeping an eye on him.

When it comes to plot lines, sometimes, less really is more.
(#20) Knocked Up
- Judd Apatow
The split is pretty even on whether this scene should have been included in the final cut of the 2007 comedy. On the one hand, it's funny. On the other hand, maybe it's not funny. It just depends on your perspective of Jonah's Brokeback Mountain rant.

However, if the goal of any great comedy is to provide a plethora of quotable lines for generations to come, then this scene probably should have stayed in the film.
(#1) Beetlejuice
- Tim Burton
While the ending was never filmed, the original conception of Beetlejuice had a much darker ending. Despite the fact the film touched on ghosts and the afterlife, Beetlejuice was far more campy cult classic than horror film. However, that may not have been the case if the writers had their way.

Originally, Winona Ryder's Lydia did not make it out of the movie alive. In the original ending, Lydia was set ablaze intentionally, so she could live with her newfound ghost friends.
(#2) First Blood
- Ted Kotcheff
Imagine if First Blood had stuck with its original ending, which was taken directly from the source material of the book. If it had, there would be no Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III, or Rambo. Why?

Well, in the book of the same name, written by David Morrell, John Rambo defeats the bad guy and then takes his own life.
(#4) Little Shop of Horrors
- Frank Oz
Sometimes, even when producers spend a staggering amount of money on a scene, it still needs to be cut. This is exactly what happened for the ending of the comedy musical's original 23-minute finale. The $5 million third act featured Audrey Jr. chomping down on her owner and wreaking plant havoc on the world.

That conclusion was replaced with the happy ending of Seymour exterminating the plant and living happily ever after.
(#5) Clerks
- Kevin Smith
Poor Dante. He wasn't even supposed to be at work that day. Thankfully, Kevin Smith deleted the original ending, which had Dante being slain.
