i don't know if this counts but.... the first time i saw the Blues Brothers it was on TV, it cut out; Elwood quitting his job at the GLUE factory and The boys parking the blues mobile next to the generator/transformer/sub station. Two scenes that are pretty integral to the plot, so when i was older and bought the DVD and saw these scenes it kinda made more sense.

In Return of the Jedi.. when things started going the rebels way on the forest moon, why didn’t The Emperor order the Death Star to fire on the planet? In a deleted scene this actually happened, but an officer (the one that meets Vader in the docking bay at the start of the film) stationed at the cannon control refused to follow that order because of the imperials stationed on the moon. The notion that the Death Star was actually positioned to fire on the sanctuary moon of Endor (Endor itself is a gas giant planet that somehow is perpetually out of frame in the movie) was a pretty obvious one even with the scene being cut. The Death Star was actively shooting at Rebel capital ships during the battle (which would have had its superlaser aimed away from the moon), but after the station's destruction you can see from the explosion remnants that the station was aimed AT the moon when it went boom. The pattern of the explosion as seen from the moon's surface was identical to the pattern seen from the distance facing the superlaser as it exploded.

At the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, how did Indy know not to look when the Ark was opened? There was an illustrated image in a book earlier in the film where Marcus Brody comments about the power of the Ark with several people dying around it but it’s not made clear that just simply looking at the open Ark will kill you. There was an extended scene shot with the wise man who tells Indy about the height of the Staff. He goes on to tell Indy and Sallah not to touch the Ark or to look at the contents when it’s opened. This explains why they take care to carry the Ark using two poles and not actually touching the Ark itself. I’ve never seen the scene (I don’t even know if the extended scene has made any of the various home releases over the years) but I don’t think his explanation could have taken up that much time, so we’re left with a small plot hole. And then there’s how Indy managed to get in the Sub as it dived. And of course the most famous deleted scene from that film which the changed scene resulted in one of the coolest moments in movie history. Regarding the surviving the submerging of the sub, I don't recall them actually saying that it did submerge. I know modern subs move faster submerged but I don't believe that was the case for the old German subs. They probably only submerged when they had to.

Apparently they threw out a bunch of scenes that would have made the 2nd Fantastic Beasts make sense.
I mean it would have still sucked, but there would be less plot holes I guess.

Huh, I never picked up on this being "missing" when I saw the movie and when I still watch it because the dogma of "looking upon God/God's power" is basically supposed to kill people. I guess I figured that is exactly what was going on. The Nazi's looked at God/God's Power and BOOM! Face melting goodness. Sounds like the deleted scene basically was saying the same thing.

The reason Sheriff Strickland has zero presence during the finale of “Back to the Future III”?
In a deleted scene he confronts Mad Dog Tannen and his gang on their way Hill Valley on the day of the duel.. Tannen through intimidation and outnumbering the sheriff and his young son manage to get Stickland to back down and ride away, but while riding away Tannen shoots him in the back, Tannen and his gang then make their way to Hill Valley, and with his dying words Sheriff Strickland says to his son.. “Remember son, Discipline”
This gives backstory on why Principal Strickland is well strict and a hardass.
But it does create a paradox… if Marty never went back in time to 1885, he would never have a run in with Mad Dog’s gang, the duel would not happen, and Sheriff Strickland would not try and stop it… oh I guess you could say … well it was originally Doc Brown in Marty’s situation.. but same deal,

Including stuff like this would have made the fictional world feel more like an actual world and not a collection of set pieces filled with archetypes.

Yeah, I guess it is a small plot hole... but I think you can probably get away with it due to the biblical notations of people touching/opening it and dying. But going from that to "don't even look in the direction" is somewhat of a stretch.

In a deleted scene this actually happened, but an officer (the one that meets Vader in the docking bay at the start of the film) stationed at the cannon control refused to follow that order because of the imperials stationed on the moon. The battle really didn't start going the Alliance's way until the Emperor was killed by Vader. The only time the Forest Moon would've made for a advantageous target was the very small timeframe between the shield generator's destruction and the Emperor's death. At that time, not only was the Emperor using his Battle Meditation power to further coordinate Imperial forces during the space battle, but also focused on Luke's slow torture and death by Force Lightning. He probably wasn't even aware the shield generator was destroyed because of his fixation on Luke's defiance of the Dark Side.
With the Emperor's death and Vader's incapacitation, it would've been up to probably Moff Jerjerrod to give the order to fire the superlaser as the commanding officer on the DS-2. But with the Battle Meditation suddenly going away, the Imperial Navy lost its composure and the Alliance was able to take advantage of the disarray. Before they really had time to regain their composure, it was too late.
Now if the Emperor survived, I could see him ordering the destruction of the Forest Moon after taking care of Luke and possibly Vader.

Indy had a giant book filled with Ark lore. I imagine the "don't look at that shit" warning was in there somewhere.

One of the most infamous is ID4, they do explain how his MacBook can give the alien ship a virus. Do I remember it? Nope. I think it’s something like Mac stole the alien tech in the first place.

The Godfather Part II
Although it’s not in a deleted scene but a deleted scene would explain. In the one of the flash back scenes Vito and his crew go out into the street to admire the Genco Olive Oil storefront.. and a unidentified crew member pushes everyone off the road possibly saving their lives from being hit by a car. Well in a deleted scene this crew member is revealed to be a young Hyman Roth.. one of the main thorns in the side in the present day scenes, hence why the family have been reluctant to take him out earlier.

Bulletproof (1996) had deleted scenes in the TV version that never should have been omitted in the first place. One of the primary examples I can think of is towards the end when it was revealed that Damon Wayans's character's girlfriend was the mole. In the TV version, after Adam Sandler's character takes off, Damon Wayans's character's captain shows up with other cops and punches him in the face. It was then shown that the girlfriend was the mole and was taken away. After that, Damon Wayans and the captain character talk about the files that the villain had and also about letting Adam Sandler's character walk.
I had later read that Ernest Dickerson (the director of that film) mentioned in an interview about the problems when editing the film.
Also, Problem Child (the first film) had a sequence with Ben (John Ritter) stealing the jerkass neighbor's car and then running over a neighbor's roses. In the TV version, there was a scene earlier with Ben and Flo being confronted by said neighbor, who was an old lady and also a bitch, about their cat ruining her roses.

Those who read the comic The Crow May remember a scene where Eric encounters a skeleton in a cow out outfit that taunts him. There were scenes filmed for the movie where the skeleton cowboy appears to guide Eric, urging him to focus on his mission of revenge. When Eric goes to save the orphan girl the skeleton cowboy tells him his mission is already complete and it’s time to go, but Eric refuses. This is why Eric suddenly loses his healing powers.

In the deleted scene Funboy wakes up and attacks Eric with the straight razor Darla dropped. When Eric is next seen his shirt has slashes in it and he has the black electrical tape wrapped around his stomach, forearms, and hands that we see for the rest of the movie as the wounds Funboy inflicted with the razor won't heal. The Skull Cowboy explains that by helping the living he went off-mission, and he only has his powers as long as he stays on the mission and until the mission is over.

The fun part about all of these scenes is that the movie is still complete without them. Why did he lose his healing, the Crow got shot. Why was he wearing tape, he is a goth being weird. Until I read about these scenes a few years ago I never thought about any of that stuff.
