Title: Obtained a Deleted Scene
Post by: phantom stranger on Fri, 2 Apr 2010, 02:23
So last month I was in California for a wedding near Los Angeles. Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet Angelina Jolie, lol. However, at the wedding I met a guy who does distribution for WB.

As you can imagine, he got an earful about what a big Batman fan I am and how I collect anything related to the Burton movies. He laughed and that was that. He added me on facebook but we never talked since then.

Anyways, the other week he sent me a message through facebook telling me he has something I might find interesting. Apparently, he has a workprint of '89 with some unreleased scenes! For various reasons, he won't send me a copy of the whole thing but he graciously hooked me up with some of the footage.  I actually recognized a bit of it from the DVD but the rest is new! Anyways, I watched it a million times and finally got around to uploading it to youtube. As for the other scenes? I'm working on it...

Phantom, there were a couple of nice outtakes of Gordon and Dent, but I'm afraid that the bulk of that clip had nothing to do with Batman or Grissom and was in fact taken from the same year's Tango and Cash which also featured Jack Palance.

And I thought my April Fool's Day jokes were bad...  ;)
I love the idea there. Hope you can do some more.

It took me a few hours to put that together and you guys debunked it in minutes.

Oh well, there's always next year...  ;D

It's no longer April Fool's in the UK so forgive my gullibility.  Having stated that, there were a few seconds of unreleased outtakes in that clip, so I'm not entirely sure that it was a joke.

Nice try.

You know that day that I once told you about, when BMO would no longer need phantom stranger?

It's coming.

You mean the stuff with Gordon and Dent? That was on the special edition.

Really?  I must have missed that stuff.  Presumably you mean the making-of doc.

I only found this thread after April Fool's Day but (and no offense) I found it a little hard to believe.  I was about to get on here and tell you that you'd been suckered.  The Tango & Cash/"Grissom" meeting didn't match the look and tone of B89.  But hey, all in good fun.

Oh come on, Palance is playing the exact same character he did in '89. It's not that much of a stretch.

I'm just surprised so many people have heard of this movie...

We're the video rental generation.  The "I waited to see it on cable" generation.  We've all seen Tango & Cash.

Jack: "Carl, can't we send somebody else?  The fumes in that place..."

Grissom: "Jack...I crap bigger than you!"

I remember seeing "Tango and Cash" in the theater on January 13, 1990.  How do I remember that?  I hardly went to the movies as a kid, so going to the theater was always a real treat.  My mom is a big Kurt Russell fan, so we bought a newspaper to check show times and in the Style and Arts section they printed the lyrics to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" with a brief description of the events included in the song.  I kept that paper for the longest time too.  Not sure what happened to it exactly.

Being an April Fool's joke aside, this is actually pretty cool to watch and imagine as a deleted Batman scene. Good job editing this.
