I read that headline in Peter Griffin's voice.

You know how I know that was fake?
Nobody plays backgammon any more submitter.

That was ME, bullshiattermitter, and it was euchre, and it was Kate Winslet.

Other than that your facts are flawless.

T.rex: You see this on IMDB all the time... People asking why film-makers cut a particular scene on home video which existed in the theatrical cut... when in reality, the shot never ever existed, but is implied, thus the audience member fills in the blanks with his imagination, which eventually get mistaken for a memory.

Like the scene in Pulp Fiction where Vincent is talking to himself in the bathroom and Elvis looks over his shoulder and tells him what to do?

More like nobody would never do anything nude with Christina Hendricks.

There are times when there will be a scene or quote in a movie trailer that doesn't show up in the theatrical (or extended/director's cut) release. But that actually happens, and might contribute to why people might mistaken it for being in the movie.

There are also some very weird versions of some movies going around, that people might have seen once on television or something, and have never seen since, either in dvd or theatrical, and that contributes to the memories being real. For instance, there is a foreign version of Donner's Superman, with extra scenes in it like Supes talking to his dad in his fortress of solitude after his first public flight (rescuing lois lane, foiling catburglar and boat heist, rescuing cat from tree), and these scenes are nowhere to be found in any modern releases.

/still remember Spike saying "oh shiat" in the original Transformers animated movie
//friends didn't believe me and thought i was lying, which was compounded when movie came out on TV and it was cut.
///it was restored in the dvd release. AH-HAH!

I don't need an article to tell me about this phenomenon, subby. I've been married to some women who have the whole false memory creation thing down to an art form.

Best example for me is Blazing saddles...

The parts with : candygram for Mongo... then the well....

For years... every time I watched the movie... "where the hell is that part??"

VHS released... it's still not there...

then the DVD... still not there....

then the anniversary DVD version ..."I am NOT insane dagnabit!"


They had to cut so much from the film for the TV version that extra scenes were needed, so in the TV version Sheriff Bart does a lot of things to Mongo, not just the exploding Candygram. Mel Brooks hated having to do those scenes, which is why they are not dvd extras.

In "The Godfather" sex scenes were trimmed down. My parents took me to the original theatrical release, and knowing little about sex, I wondered what those strange little noises were. The dvd doesn't have the scenes with those noises.

From imdb:

The TV release has five extra scenes that weren't in the theatrical release:
When Sheriff Bart is trying to capture Mongo, after he delivers the "CandyGram for Mongo", it then shows a "draw on the dummy sheriff" game that fires a cannon at Mongo, and then a scene Bart convinces Mongo to go diving down a well for Spanish Doubloons and Bart stops pumping air to the diving suit because it's time for his lunch break.
Bart and Jim run away from Hedley Lamarr and his gang whilst wearing the KKK outfits. They run into some Born-again Christians having a baptism/picnic and join in.
Lily Von Shtupp (Madeline Kahn) gives a brief spoken introduction to the saloon crowd before beginning her song.
Governor Le Petomaine (Mel Brooks) arrives in the fake Rock Ridge a few moments before the final showdown, in a stagecoach with a flashing red light on the back, makes a joke about losing the "blue collar vote" and does a skit in the town where he impersonates Harpo Marx.
When the dynamite fails to explode, Lily Von Schtuup says with some German rambling that it didn't work. When nobody knows what she said the guy that speaks frontier gibberish tries to translate. Those around him hit him with their hats.
