On certain channels, they now skip past the scene where James Caan puts the flower pot on his head and goes “ching chong ching”
Seriously?? No wonder I dont watch movies on TV due to the ads.
***James Caan puts the flower pot on his head and goes “ching chong ching”***
I remember seeing THE WAR WAGON on TV back in 1976 out of Tulsa OK. When it came to the part where “Indian” Howard Keel says..”Dumb Indians!” the sound is cut off leaving dead air for a second. This happened several times.
I remember several other movies on TV that suddenly had “dead spots” or the screen went black for a few seconds. Others were butchered to remove violence they were almost laughable. Think of THE MAN WHO LOVED CAT DANCING in which Burt Reynolds shoots the bad guy, once, and he falls with four bullet holes in him.
The first showing of Charlton Heston in THE WAR LORD was so butchered it was nothing like the movie in the theater. And don’t get me started on the first TV showing of ON HER MAJESTIE’S SECRET SERVICE! They actually started it in the middle of the film, then reverted to the start. They showed it over two weeks.
