In a movie like this just one minute of a deleted scene is a crime because that doesn't let us enjoy all the time with these fascinating characters. And one minute is essential to understand them better. A real good movie is never too long...but Hollywood producers will never understand that...
I can't believe the deleted scenes are more than half the length of the original runtime. I'd live to see a 3 hour cut with all this footage spliced in.
These are all from first half of film there must be more out there somewhere to be discovered for the rest of the film, need a special anniversary dvd with them all.
@@vintagemovielover4511The 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray has all discovered deleted scenes. It is $15 at Target right now. That’s the source of the footage in this video.
I would too, it doesn't matter if it'd make the movie too long because it would still be very interesting to see the whole thing deleted scenes and all all tied together. I like Del, John Candy made him into a great character, but the extended airplane scenes sort of lead to me understanding a bit more Neil finally losing it with him later in the motel and commenting on his long pointless ramblings. 9:06 - even that old man is looking at Del like "when are you gonna shut the f*** up already!?" Lol
John Candy being a dignified classy Gentleman that he was I bet secretly hated playing this Fat Nasty Slob of a man because he probably felt like he was playing into insulting stereotypes for overweight people.
All of it? Even the part where he took off his shoes and socks and fanned his bare feet on the plane - he didn't actually show his left bare foot, just part of it
Out of everything, they should have included the part when Neal apologizes to Del because he felt that he really hurt him with that speech, and in return Del apologizes because he messed up the night for Neal. This would have been perfect for the story and shows why the next morning they are able to have breakfast together.
It would've been better if their apologies were left in there. And in fact, it looked like, after Del's response to Neil's rant "I'm the real article", Neil's facial expression indicated that he was now feeling a little remorse about the way he spoke to him (the music that started then also gave off that feeling). Neil didn't quite expect Dels response to his raving to be tugging at the heartstrings a little bit. He probably just expected Del to snap back at him like he was doing, or to just passive-aggressively not say much back. But the way Del actually responded made Neil feel sort of sorry for how he spoke to him. Also, because of the apology scene, their reaction was less angry about waking up cuddled together than it would've been if they fought the night before without apologizing. It was still no doubt uncomfortable for them either way, but they had less anger about it than they could've because they right away knew that they were half asleep and thought they were cuddling their wives, and that neither of them were gay. If either of them assumed they were, they definitely would've had an uglier more unsettled reaction, I mean, this was the 80s. Either way though, it was funny that they both chose to then immediately not verbally acknowledge what they accidentally did and instead talk about the latest Chicago Bears 🐻 game, "Bears all the way"
I agree completely! To be quite honest,all of this footage was fantastic and deserved to have been included. The deleted scenes of "Doobie" threatening Neil,and Del trying to reign him in and scold him like a mom was a riot and show how truly unstable the cab driver was. "Are you looking at my hair?" I've always wished that Steve Martin and John Candy would have done more films together. John Candy left us far too soon.
Obvious they edited a ton it explains some things you really didn't give much thought. I think Hughes knew you would figure it out. For instance the pizza kid robbing I figured he knew the front office guy. Probably did. But you didn't know they had an earlier contact. But all of a sudden this kid enters and steals their cash. it just makes more sense statistically when somebody breaks in they been there before. Or how'd the beer end up on the bed. What beer? But you didn't care.
I actually thought it was good the apology was left out. That happened too early in their relationship. The expression on Neil's face and his returning to bed were enough.
It now makes sense that the motel thief was the pizza delivery guy. They should have left that part in. They also should have left the part in where Del was in the bathroom because that explained why the bathroom was a mess when Neal stepped out of the shower. Some of these deleted scenes answer questions I’ve had.
On the plane, the old man sitting at the window next to Candy and Martin, is the character on Seinfeld when Jerry volunteers to hang out with a senior citizen.
Paul Hirsch edited this movie. It is said that an editor makes a bad director look good, and a good director look great, and a great director look like a genius. Hirsch is a genius and makes John Hughes look like the master he was. This footage is edited deleted scenes. You have to imagine Hirsch looking at pure, raw footage from each camera set-up and assembling the shots and scenes so as to invoke interest, emotion, empathy, sympathy and solidarity with the characters and their situations. The motel scenes alone are a master class in editing. Like Bob Seger sang, "what to leave in, what to leave out." Paul Hirsch wrote his autobiography in 2019 call 'A Long Time Ago, In A Cutting Room, Far, Far, Away . . . ' about his experiences working with and editing films for great directors such as Brian DePalma, George Lucas, Irvin Kirshner and John Hughes. Well worth picking up.
The scene when they step into the room. The tense music starts, pans the room, cuts to them looking at one another. No words, but big laugh. “You wanna take a shower?”…
@@kevinneal2575 Ira Newborn's utterly brilliant, eclectic score of tense, easy-going and fun instrumental symphonic, quirky synth, blues, and funky rhythmic calypso-pop, gives the movie its sonic charm.
Yeah, except Del was being a real prick with him, much more so than he was to anyone the rest of the movie. The theatrical cut made Del in general come across as a really nice understanding guy, but this pizza guy scene changed the view of Del's character a little
There’s more deleted scenes that’ve yet to be discovered, such as; - Extended phone conversation scenes between Neil and his wife - A sub-plot where Neil’s wife thinks he’s cheating on him with Del (whom she thinks is a woman) - A scene before the State Trooper pulls over Del & Neil were Del asks Neil if he’s ever been to Hawaii - A scene in which the State Trooper tells Neil & Del they’ve driven past Chicago and are in Wisconsin, which leads to an altercation between Del & Neil - A scene in which Del & Neil stop at a local strip club to use the phone after their car catches fire - A scene that takes place after the State Trooper impounded the burnt car in which Del tells Neil he didn’t get rental insurance (since he used Neil’s credit card) and Neil punches Del in the face (which explains his black eye at the end of the film) - And a scene after Del tells Neil his wife’s dead, where Del tells Neil how him & his wife couldn’t have a kid and after she died he just left the house they lived in and never returned
Thanks for this excellent information! Do you know the link for the video with these scenes, or are they on a DVD / Blu-ray? If on a disk, please specify the release version and year. I greatly appreciate it! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
You mean Del had a house to live in but just chose not to live there anymore because of his wife's death? So all that time, he could've gone back there to live in that house if he wanted to instead of wandering from place to place without a home? Also, if Neil was homeless and couldn't afford a roof over his head, how could he afford airline travel? Wouldn't it be wiser to spend whatever money you have to get off the street and into an accommodation first, and then flying on airlines second?
When Del says he’s not used to having a roommate in the motel scene, I can see why it was cut. It would have clued some people in that maybe he was a widow or had been divorced. Some of these scenes are great and some are a miss.
He hadn't made it into the movies yet in 1987, the time of this movie, not until Uncle Buck in 1989, that was his first movie, Home Alone in 1990 was his second.
Honestly, this version makes you realize why the Neil seemed to hate him so much in the first place. The movie just makes him look like, well, to quote Del, "a cold hearted cynic".
@@jackthomas6952 Ultimately he is a good person. But you can be a really good person and also have kind of a rotten attitude about stuff. Again, cynical. I think Del did help him grow as a person, and vice versa.
I reallt miss John Candy. I enjoyed everything he did,back to his SCTV days. He was always a likeable guy and I was very sad when he left us at such a young age. When tbey paired him with Steve Martin (another great) it made for a fantastic film. I watched this one many times and even bought the VHS when it was new. Its truly a shame that the studio forced Hughes to cut the film back because THEY thought its run time was too long. I would have gladly watched it if it ran 4 hours in length. With the advent of DVDS and BluRay someone shoukd put it all back together and issue a "directors cut" of "Planes,Trains & Automobiles". The writing,pace and acting of this film was superb. All this deleted footage deserves to be restored and preserved. The ending when Neil finds out the Del's wife had passed and brings his unlikely friend home,is very touching.
It is too long for a comedy though, and another reason why they cut so much out is because the shit John. Candys character was doing was something that would make the audience hate him, remember they're trying to set the ending up to feel sympathy for him, not say well he deserves to be alone. It wasn't the studio either it was the test audience, they didn't like candy's character because of all the bad nasty, and grotesque shit he was doing.
In case a dedicated fan hasn’t done it already, I’d love to watch an “extended” cut of this with the missing footage spliced in - mainly the airplane meal conversation, Del messing up the bathroom, and the pizza boy scene.
Yeah. And back in the 80s when you could get beer delivered with your pizza. Delivering alcohol after then started becoming alot less common because of how difficult it is to show proof of age over the phone
Yeah. But the plane scene became a bit too long with all of it left in there, it started making Del seem more like a blabbermouth and made Neil's rant about it later in the motel room start seeming more understandable. I'm kinda surprised that even in the deleted bits on the plane, we don't see Neil reading the vomit bag (because of Neil telling Del in his rant later "Who was that who kept talking my ear off on the plane, I'm curious, who was that!? Didn't you notice how eventually I was reading the vomit bag!? Didn't that give you some sort of clue that maybe this guy's not enjoying this!?")
These scenes are great! Made the movie make a little more sense. Like, i always wondered how Neil didn't notice the messy bathroom BEFORE he got in the shower.. now this explains it!
Wow! They should have left so much of this in. Especially the cab part and the hotel room scenes,with the added rabt and the apologies. I wish Steve Martin and John Candy made more movies together.. And the robbery scene makes sense now that we understand the pizza boy did it
So many more things make sense in the movie now. The extra scenes on the plane now make it more obvious as to why Neal cut him off in the movie seemingly so quickly - he had listened to a heck of a lot more than what was shown in the final cut.
RIP John!!! He was such a great guy and a talented actor!! 2of the best actors Ever!! Love them both!! Thank you for the great video!! Love this movie so much!! 💙💙❤️❤️🌹🌹🌺🌺🦋🦋🥰🥰😊😊💖💖💜💜🙏🙏🙏😢😢
I’m so glad this was released. As long as people watch and enjoy filmmaking as an art, and who can laugh at life, then John Candy will live forever. And Steve Martin. And John Hughes. ❤
I think they were right to edit some of this stuff out and the film has a good run time. Sometimes less is more when explaining people's feelings and John and Steve did a great job conveying their feelings with simple looks. I would have left in the annoyances of air travel and some of the scenes with the food and old man on the plane. That was funny and very relatable to people who travel.
Crazy thing is there's a whole bunch of other stuff that's not included here. They filmed a ton of stuff between the beginning of the movie and when they get to the airport in the beginning. Also, the entire sequence with Michael McKean and them going to jail, fighting over Del not getting insurance for the rental car, Neil punching him, etc. I think there was some other stuff involving the whole subplot with Neil's wife thinking he was cheating on her. Then of course the final sequence where Del tells his story to Neil at a diner.
This movie would've been too long and dragged at times if they left all of these deleted scenes in, such as Del's constant talking on the plane, it almost makes Neil's yelling at him about it in the motel room more understandable. Some of these deleted scenes made Del look like more of a jerkass such as how he talked to the pizza guy, where in the theatrical cut Del overall seems like a really nice guy with a good heart. He's a bigger prick and more annoying in these deleted scenes than in almost all of the theatrical scenes.
This is weird because I watched it a million times. Priceless. This puts a prospective on things. You could be an actor like the cab driver thinking you got 15 min. and you end up with one sentence or maybe nothing. but they had plenty of material to work with.
Yeah, it did. And it made it make more sense on why he snuck back into their room later to rob them. And the cab scene made that cab driver look like a much darker and crazier character than he appeared in the theatrical cut. The only thing he said in the theatrical cut was "You said your friend ain't from around here so I thought I'd show him around", the whole rest of it was cut
I love this movie. I don’t think these scenes really add anything but some fun trivia. The chatter on the airplane made me irritated and uncomfortable. I think the movie we got was perfection.
I liked John Candy as Del, but his very long chattering in these additional scenes on the plane did make me more understand Neil for lashing out at him later in the motel scene. Also, the theatrical cut made Del in general seem like a nice understanding guy. But when adding the entire scene with the pizza guy and seeing Del being a real asshole with him, that sorta changed the overall type of guy he was. And like I said, the extended airplane part made him more annoying
Yeah, but they also make Neil look less like an intolerant prick and more like he's having understandable reactions most anybody would have. Later in the movie when Neil gets home to his wife and kids, you could see that he's really a good guy who loves his family and isn't a prick, and now with the extended scenes making his reactions to Del even more understandable, you can believe that even more. But you're right, the extended scenes made Del more hard to take and harder to sympathize with, plus they would've made the movie drag on too much, so I see why they cut them out. Also, it would've made Del's reveal late in the movie less of a gut punch because we wouldn't have felt for him as much. But the cuts did make Neil look like a more intolerant guy. Maybe they should've left a few more things in the movie, just not as many as we saw in this video
There's another scene which was cut which makes Del look even worse. The scene at the end where Neal goes back to the train station, that's actually him arriving at him home train station and Del had followed him there. They used clever editing and flipping/reversing footage to make it look like he went back to the station where he left Del (notice in the shot where Neal gets off the train, his hair is parted the other way and the number on the train is back to front). Del then gives a big speech about how it's not fair that he doesn't have a life as good as Neal's. Test audiences thought Del came across really badly so John Hughes made some drastic last minute changes.
@@DustyJones1997BGCL Hughes and the editor Paul Hirsch had turned in a cut that was under two hours, but it tested poorly at the test screenings primarily because they found Del so unlikable. After further trimming and fixing the ending so that Neal returned to Del (originally Neal found Del waiting for him at his local train stop, effectively making him a stalker), they ended up at the current runtime with much better results at the next test screening.
I think Del would have tipped the delivery boy more, one, if he actually looked at the number on the door, and if he set the pizza down on the bed rather than throw it.😂😂😂
They did a great job editing the film just right. Most of this would have changed the quality of the film, making it too crude or bizarre, like Doogie the cab driver threatening to kill Neal. interesting to see the cut scenes, and makes you appreciate the excellent editing job that made the movie such a classic. It certainty proves how important great editing is everything to a films success.
Some of the deleted scenes are very funny, but some of them would be a serious detraction from the film. They make Del look less naive and bumbling and more selfish and obnoxious. That would've changed the original feel of the film completely.
Is this taken straight from the bonus Blu-ray disc that came packaged with the newer 4K release? I was thinking about buying it, but literally ONLY for this reason lol. Thanks a bunch!!
I agree. And maybe the cab scene too, that really opened up alot more into finding out how mean and crazy that guy was. The only part of the cab scene in the theatrical cut was when he told Del "Your friend said he's not from around here so I thought I'd show him around", everything after that when he started talking crazy wasn't in it.
Taxi scene went on way too long and got too dark and awkward. Glad that was cut down but the airplane scene including the "airplane food" segment which has been out a while should have always been kept in. Too bad there's still over an hour of additional footage we havent seen and may never get to see.
Yeah where the girl puts her hair in the brownie I’m surprised they didn’t add that in with this that was like the upn 9 tv version that was funny as hell to so many different versions to the greatest movie of all time!
Proof of the value of editing. Less is more. We can infer much about Neal and especially Del without being hit over the head. Del should be uncouth but likeable, and his interaction with the pizza kid would have challenged that notion too much, IMHO. The dick and fart language is a bit unnecessarily broad, as well. The theatrical version remains charming and a favorite. Can't count how many times I've watched it.
Right same scenes just edited. I like when he flung the crumb off his shirt and goes gotta tee it up. lol Or the little kid with the stewardess. And he blabbed his head off way more on the plane. WOW. Neal Down and the pizza guy's the one that robbed them. and it leads up to Neal accusing of stealing. interesting. Now you know how the beer ended up on the bed.
If Candy hadn’t died this movie could’ve had a good sequel. For a plot I was thinking along the lines of Neal and Del traveling together again on a business venture. After all both characters are in sales and marketing.
What a coincidence! My friend Charles and I were talking about making a sequel too, about 2 years ago. Because Del was so poor, Neal shares his New York home with Del, trying to get him on his feet. Del's company goes bankrupt and he loses his job. Neal helps Del learn marketing, and he gets a job at Neal's company. Del is such a good people person, that the whole office loves him. Over a period of 5 years, Del spends the holidays with the Pages. The kids call him Uncle Del. Eventually, the boss puts Del in a higher position than Neal, which angers him, and Neal breaks off his friendship with Del. Broken hearted, Del leaves New York and goes to Chicago to start over at a new company, because he refuses to disgrace Neal any further. While in Chicago, he sees Neal's wife, and he explains what happened. They come up with a plan to rekindle the friendship, because it was never Del's intent to supercede Neal. She explains to Del that because of what happened, Neal had gotten worse at work, and they had fallen on hard financial times, and they were about to lose their beautiful home. Del helps with some bills, and tells her to encourage Neal to return home and be with the family instead of being so far away, which will also lessen bills. Neal comes home just before Thanksgiving, sees Del in the house, and is furious. Del explains that he understands that it's his fault why everything went bad, but he wants to repair the damage done. He's working as a vice president for a much more successful marketing firm than from where Neal worked in New York, and Del offers him a job there as an assistant vice president on equal terms with him. Del tells Neal, "Six years ago, you gave me the four most wonderful gifts anyone could receive. A good job, a home, an adopted family and the best friend I've ever known. I could never equal that nor improve upon it. Please allow me to give you a gift that will rebuild what we once had, and also improve upon it. Happy Thanksgiving, Neal Page." Neal apologies and accepts the offer. Del also marries his new girlfriend, then they all live in the same home together, like a big family. We never wrote much of the script except the synopsis and a few key scenes, but we wanted it to be focused on the character development of a friendship built, lost, and regained. We expected to get most of the character work done by CGI, like how Star Wars did for Princess Leia after Carrie Fisher died, with actors who could impersonate their voices well. It's also funny in a way how my friend Charles and I relate so easily to Neal and Del. I'm the thinner, silent, firm and focused Neal Page type; while Charles is the heavy-set, talkative, people person, Del Griffith type. We've had our ups and downs in our friendship over the last 26 years, and we both felt that our combined talents and ideas could make a good script for a sequel. Maybe someday it will be finished. We planned to call it "Neal And Del: Planes Trains and Automobiles 2." Simple name, but a very complex story with a lot of the same comedic ups and downs as the original. What were you thinking about doing in your sequel? I'd like to hear about it.
@@CaptainFoufeu Wow you really thought of a good story idea. Sadly a sequel never came and may not have even been planned. I was in the fourth grade when John Candy died. I watched The Great Outdoors the day before his death.
They seem to set that up at the end when Del let's fly first class next time but I am glad they didn't do a sequel it's a fun one off movie also they were thinking of doing a remake with Will Smith and Kevin Hart the slap at the Oscars put a end to that thank god.
Rest in Peace John Candy. Thank you so much for all the years of laughter and smiles. You were great!
Ditto

@@littlesongbird1 Yes they do apply to those who haven’t viewed it before, & saying otherwise is discrimination.
@@macysondheimHe spoiled a 36 year old movie for you? 😂
After watching the motel room scenes, Neil’s outburst is more justified.
yeah, i still feel Dels hurt, but i see more of Neil's side as well
The whole motel part is hilarious. I laughed hard!!
Saw this movie in 1987..with my nineteen year old girlfriend....We still laugh out loud 2023😂❤😂
This is just a reminder of how much power an editor has over shaping a movie. They really should share the director's credit.
The new 4K Blu-ray release has over 75 minutes of deleted scenes
Steve Martin and John Candy two fantastic comedians. Thanks for posting these deleted scenes.
Mcauley culken should of been that kid taking about the Pepsi 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He hadn't made it into the movies yet in 1987, the time of this movie, not until Uncle Buck in 1989, that was his first movie, Home Alone in 1990 was his second.
Thats too funny 😂
Funny you say that that old man was in home alone
Love these scenes that weren't in the movie, great to watch what we couldn't see in the film, RIP to John Candy one of the best comedy actors ever!!!
The part where del says im a human being after neal's rant and neil looks down in guilt is heartbreaking, even moreso since candys death
Honestly, this version makes you realize why the Neil seemed to hate him so much in the first place. The movie just makes him look like, well, to quote Del, "a cold hearted cynic".
Neil puts up with ALOT. He’s actually a pretty good guy.
@@jackthomas6952 Ultimately he is a good person. But you can be a really good person and also have kind of a rotten attitude about stuff. Again, cynical. I think Del did help him grow as a person, and vice versa.
I reallt miss John Candy. I enjoyed everything he did,back to his SCTV days. He was always a likeable guy and I was very sad when he left us at such a young age. When tbey paired him with Steve Martin (another great) it made for a fantastic film. I watched this one many times and even bought the VHS when it was new. Its truly a shame that the studio forced Hughes to cut the film back because THEY thought its run time was too long. I would have gladly watched it if it ran 4 hours in length. With the advent of DVDS and BluRay someone shoukd put it all back together and issue a "directors cut" of "Planes,Trains & Automobiles".
The writing,pace and acting of this film was superb. All this deleted footage deserves to be restored and preserved. The ending when Neil finds out the Del's wife had passed and brings his unlikely friend home,is very touching.
It is too long for a comedy though, and another reason why they cut so much out is because the shit John. Candys character was doing was something that would make the audience hate him, remember they're trying to set the ending up to feel sympathy for him, not say well he deserves to be alone. It wasn't the studio either it was the test audience, they didn't like candy's character because of all the bad nasty, and grotesque shit he was doing.
On the airplane: pure genius! Amazing to finally enjoy the whole scene. Del goes on and on and on 😂. How we miss U, John Candy, RIP.
In case a dedicated fan hasn’t done it already, I’d love to watch an “extended” cut of this with the missing footage spliced in - mainly the airplane meal conversation, Del messing up the bathroom, and the pizza boy scene.
This is great, we finally get to see the famous beer can explosion
Yeah. And back in the 80s when you could get beer delivered with your pizza. Delivering alcohol after then started becoming alot less common because of how difficult it is to show proof of age over the phone
Miss John Candy so much.
This movie was really well edited down. I appreciate you uploading this very interesting to see the outtakes.
Candy was such a natural actor. he became every character he played. nothing was ever forced.
This movie will always be in the top 5 of my favorite movies of all times
A family ritual for us each year. Classic film!
a lot of scenes here should have been kept, the extended pre take off scene comes to mind.
Yeah. But the plane scene became a bit too long with all of it left in there, it started making Del seem more like a blabbermouth and made Neil's rant about it later in the motel room start seeming more understandable.
I'm kinda surprised that even in the deleted bits on the plane, we don't see Neil reading the vomit bag (because of Neil telling Del in his rant later "Who was that who kept talking my ear off on the plane, I'm curious, who was that!? Didn't you notice how eventually I was reading the vomit bag!? Didn't that give you some sort of clue that maybe this guy's not enjoying this!?")
These scenes are great! Made the movie make a little more sense. Like, i always wondered how Neil didn't notice the messy bathroom BEFORE he got in the shower.. now this explains it!
Fantastic!! Absolutely hilarious!! I really can't believe that they didn't use these scenes!!
Wow! They should have left so much of this in. Especially the cab part and the hotel room scenes,with the added rabt and the apologies. I wish Steve Martin and John Candy made more movies together..
And the robbery scene makes sense now that we understand the pizza boy did it
So many more things make sense in the movie now. The extra scenes on the plane now make it more obvious as to why Neal cut him off in the movie seemingly so quickly - he had listened to a heck of a lot more than what was shown in the final cut.
I think it actually works because they don’t need you to like Neal Page until the end of the movie.
Thanks for posting this. Explains so much context. The original movie works great. But there is some scenes should have been included. :D Rip John
John Candy left us way too soon
RIP John!!! He was such a great guy and a talented actor!! 2of the best actors Ever!! Love them both!! Thank you for the great video!! Love this movie so much!! 💙💙❤️❤️🌹🌹🌺🌺🦋🦋🥰🥰😊😊💖💖💜💜🙏🙏🙏😢😢
Thank you!!!❤❤❤
Love seeing this, it's like everything we missed. Just adds to the story
Great scenes in this movie!
They don’t make funny movies like this anymore!
One of my fav movies !! The way he chews gum is so obnoxious it’s addicting 😂😂😂
I’m still amazed Del got a beer on the flight
They've always served alcoholic beverages on flights. They still do, you just have to pay extra for them.
I’m so glad this was released. As long as people watch and enjoy filmmaking as an art, and who can laugh at life, then John Candy will live forever. And Steve Martin. And John Hughes. ❤
All of them should have been included in the movie 😂
I think they were right to edit some of this stuff out and the film has a good run time. Sometimes less is more when explaining people's feelings and John and Steve did a great job conveying their feelings with simple looks. I would have left in the annoyances of air travel and some of the scenes with the food and old man on the plane. That was funny and very relatable to people who travel.
Crazy thing is there's a whole bunch of other stuff that's not included here. They filmed a ton of stuff between the beginning of the movie and when they get to the airport in the beginning. Also, the entire sequence with Michael McKean and them going to jail, fighting over Del not getting insurance for the rental car, Neil punching him, etc. I think there was some other stuff involving the whole subplot with Neil's wife thinking he was cheating on her. Then of course the final sequence where Del tells his story to Neil at a diner.
Where can I find it ?
This movie would've been too long and dragged at times if they left all of these deleted scenes in, such as Del's constant talking on the plane, it almost makes Neil's yelling at him about it in the motel room more understandable.
Some of these deleted scenes made Del look like more of a jerkass such as how he talked to the pizza guy, where in the theatrical cut Del overall seems like a really nice guy with a good heart. He's a bigger prick and more annoying in these deleted scenes than in almost all of the theatrical scenes.
The editor done a great job , perfect editing
Academy Award winner *Paul Hirsch*
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
No problem 😊
This is weird because I watched it a million times. Priceless. This puts a prospective on things. You could be an actor like the cab driver thinking you got 15 min. and you end up with one sentence or maybe nothing. but they had plenty of material to work with.
How could you not want to talk and hang out with Del. He isnt polished but he is fun and a good guy
Best bunch of deleted scenes since Spinal Tap!
I hope they find more deleted scenes. I've love to see scene where Neal and Del talk in the diner after Neal finds out the truth about Del's wife.
thanks for this. pizza guy scene , should of been in the movie. made it even funnier.
Yeah, it did. And it made it make more sense on why he snuck back into their room later to rob them.
And the cab scene made that cab driver look like a much darker and crazier character than he appeared in the theatrical cut. The only thing he said in the theatrical cut was "You said your friend ain't from around here so I thought I'd show him around", the whole rest of it was cut
I love this movie. I don’t think these scenes really add anything but some fun trivia. The chatter on the airplane made me irritated and uncomfortable. I think the movie we got was perfection.
I liked John Candy as Del, but his very long chattering in these additional scenes on the plane did make me more understand Neil for lashing out at him later in the motel scene. Also, the theatrical cut made Del in general seem like a nice understanding guy. But when adding the entire scene with the pizza guy and seeing Del being a real asshole with him, that sorta changed the overall type of guy he was. And like I said, the extended airplane part made him more annoying

I can see why these scenes were cut. They make Del look way too unbearable.
Yeah, but they also make Neil look less like an intolerant prick and more like he's having understandable reactions most anybody would have. Later in the movie when Neil gets home to his wife and kids, you could see that he's really a good guy who loves his family and isn't a prick, and now with the extended scenes making his reactions to Del even more understandable, you can believe that even more.
But you're right, the extended scenes made Del more hard to take and harder to sympathize with, plus they would've made the movie drag on too much, so I see why they cut them out. Also, it would've made Del's reveal late in the movie less of a gut punch because we wouldn't have felt for him as much. But the cuts did make Neil look like a more intolerant guy. Maybe they should've left a few more things in the movie, just not as many as we saw in this video
There's another scene which was cut which makes Del look even worse. The scene at the end where Neal goes back to the train station, that's actually him arriving at him home train station and Del had followed him there. They used clever editing and flipping/reversing footage to make it look like he went back to the station where he left Del (notice in the shot where Neal gets off the train, his hair is parted the other way and the number on the train is back to front). Del then gives a big speech about how it's not fair that he doesn't have a life as good as Neal's. Test audiences thought Del came across really badly so John Hughes made some drastic last minute changes.
Wow I never realized before what a great job they do with the background music in the scene where they get into the heated argument.
I might be in the minority here, but I can see why these scenes were deleted. Most of them were really bad.
Agree. It's like they're from another movie.
After watching these deleted scenes, overall it made Del a hateable character and you cannot really blame Neil for not liking him
Agreed.
@@DustyJones1997BGCL Hughes and the editor Paul Hirsch had turned in a cut that was under two hours, but it tested poorly at the test screenings primarily because they found Del so unlikable. After further trimming and fixing the ending so that Neal returned to Del (originally Neal found Del waiting for him at his local train stop, effectively making him a stalker), they ended up at the current runtime with much better results at the next test screening.
I want a fucking car… right fucking now.
You’re fucked.
WHEN HE FALLS OFF THE BED for the beer, WAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!!!!!!
This is aa best number One movie wow❤❤❤❤
The plane dinner made me SCREAM WITH LAUGHTER 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crazy thing is there may be more footage out there as the original is said to be something like 3.5 hours long!
Why oh why has it not been released 😢
We really need the extended movie as it feels like holes in the story are present in the small length #HughesCut
The cattle car😂😂😂😂LOL 😂I was
Love this
Best movie.. one of the best
I think Del would have tipped the delivery boy more, one, if he actually looked at the number on the door, and if he set the pizza down on the bed rather than throw it.😂😂😂
They did a great job editing the film just right. Most of this would have changed the quality of the film, making it too crude or bizarre, like Doogie the cab driver threatening to kill Neal. interesting to see the cut scenes, and makes you appreciate the excellent editing job that made the movie such a classic. It certainty proves how important great editing is everything to a films success.
I definitely liked Doobie more when he was a guy with a cool cab that was just proud of his town.
I just started this video. I'm sure it'll be interesting. PT&A is one of my favorite movies. :)
I want to see the part where the state trooper pulls them over and explains they overshot Chicago.
Some of the deleted scenes are very funny, but some of them would be a serious detraction from the film. They make Del look less naive and bumbling and more selfish and obnoxious. That would've changed the original feel of the film completely.
Dito
Bruh all these deleted scenes had me 💀 😂😂😂😂
Is this taken straight from the bonus Blu-ray disc that came packaged with the newer 4K release? I was thinking about buying it, but literally ONLY for this reason lol. Thanks a bunch!!
Is great to see these
I always wondered about the bathroom scene and his surprised reaction.
John candy is the man 😅
So! The pizza delivery guy stole their money!
If there is one scene they should have left in that would be the pizza guy. It makes sense to who that guy with the hat is and why he took the money.
I agree. And maybe the cab scene too, that really opened up alot more into finding out how mean and crazy that guy was. The only part of the cab scene in the theatrical cut was when he told Del "Your friend said he's not from around here so I thought I'd show him around", everything after that when he started talking crazy wasn't in it.
Taxi scene went on way too long and got too dark and awkward. Glad that was cut down but the airplane scene including the "airplane food" segment which has been out a while should have always been kept in. Too bad there's still over an hour of additional footage we havent seen and may never get to see.
Yeah where the girl puts her hair in the brownie I’m surprised they didn’t add that in with this that was like the upn 9 tv version that was funny as hell to so many different versions to the greatest movie of all time!
There’s a 4K Blu-Ray edition with that over an hour footage.
@AllMediaAus Has the other 19 minute video been taken down?
Fckn brilliant!!!!!!
Although most of this didn't make the cut, these scenes downright kill. John Candy would've gotten an Oscar had they been left in. Brilliant.
Outside the pizza guy scene, the rest of the deletions were justified.
$19.00 for a pizza in 1987?
Holy cow, I've never seen ANY of this extra stuff on PTA! That crazy cabbie car ride turned awfully dark, eh? 😂
THE CATTLE CAR😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂LOL 😂😂😂
I wish they would add some of this back in someday
I feel like this is basically what he was really like , or it’s one of the best acting performances of all time
Proof of the value of editing. Less is more. We can infer much about Neal and especially Del without being hit over the head. Del should be uncouth but likeable, and his interaction with the pizza kid would have challenged that notion too much, IMHO. The dick and fart language is a bit unnecessarily broad, as well. The theatrical version remains charming and a favorite. Can't count how many times I've watched it.
Right same scenes just edited. I like when he flung the crumb off his shirt and goes gotta tee it up. lol Or the little kid with the stewardess. And he blabbed his head off way more on the plane. WOW. Neal Down and the pizza guy's the one that robbed them. and it leads up to Neal accusing of stealing. interesting. Now you know how the beer ended up on the bed.
There are NO FUNNY SHOWS ON TV ANYMORE!!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢
Do you have more of the deleted footage you can post?
I vote to re-release the movie with this footage. Would be a great movie!!
If Candy hadn’t died this movie could’ve had a good sequel. For a plot I was thinking along the lines of Neal and Del traveling together again on a business venture. After all both characters are in sales and marketing.
What a coincidence! My friend Charles and I were talking about making a sequel too, about 2 years ago. Because Del was so poor, Neal shares his New York home with Del, trying to get him on his feet. Del's company goes bankrupt and he loses his job. Neal helps Del learn marketing, and he gets a job at Neal's company. Del is such a good people person, that the whole office loves him. Over a period of 5 years, Del spends the holidays with the Pages. The kids call him Uncle Del. Eventually, the boss puts Del in a higher position than Neal, which angers him, and Neal breaks off his friendship with Del. Broken hearted, Del leaves New York and goes to Chicago to start over at a new company, because he refuses to disgrace Neal any further. While in Chicago, he sees Neal's wife, and he explains what happened. They come up with a plan to rekindle the friendship, because it was never Del's intent to supercede Neal. She explains to Del that because of what happened, Neal had gotten worse at work, and they had fallen on hard financial times, and they were about to lose their beautiful home. Del helps with some bills, and tells her to encourage Neal to return home and be with the family instead of being so far away, which will also lessen bills. Neal comes home just before Thanksgiving, sees Del in the house, and is furious. Del explains that he understands that it's his fault why everything went bad, but he wants to repair the damage done. He's working as a vice president for a much more successful marketing firm than from where Neal worked in New York, and Del offers him a job there as an assistant vice president on equal terms with him. Del tells Neal, "Six years ago, you gave me the four most wonderful gifts anyone could receive. A good job, a home, an adopted family and the best friend I've ever known. I could never equal that nor improve upon it. Please allow me to give you a gift that will rebuild what we once had, and also improve upon it. Happy Thanksgiving, Neal Page." Neal apologies and accepts the offer. Del also marries his new girlfriend, then they all live in the same home together, like a big family.
We never wrote much of the script except the synopsis and a few key scenes, but we wanted it to be focused on the character development of a friendship built, lost, and regained. We expected to get most of the character work done by CGI, like how Star Wars did for Princess Leia after Carrie Fisher died, with actors who could impersonate their voices well. It's also funny in a way how my friend Charles and I relate so easily to Neal and Del. I'm the thinner, silent, firm and focused Neal Page type; while Charles is the heavy-set, talkative, people person, Del Griffith type. We've had our ups and downs in our friendship over the last 26 years, and we both felt that our combined talents and ideas could make a good script for a sequel. Maybe someday it will be finished. We planned to call it "Neal And Del: Planes Trains and Automobiles 2." Simple name, but a very complex story with a lot of the same comedic ups and downs as the original. What were you thinking about doing in your sequel? I'd like to hear about it.
@@CaptainFoufeu Wow you really thought of a good story idea. Sadly a sequel never came and may not have even been planned. I was in the fourth grade when John Candy died. I watched The Great Outdoors the day before his death.
They seem to set that up at the end when Del let's fly first class next time but I am glad they didn't do a sequel it's a fun one off movie also they were thinking of doing a remake with Will Smith and Kevin Hart the slap at the Oscars put a end to that thank god.
