They should have kept this scene in. Powerful and good display of acting. Plus it expands the story vs Bonnie and Rochelle seeming to just "suddenly" turn on Sarah.
J. Ry It wasn’t because of the microphone...they cut it because if they left it in, later at the scene where they try to kill Sarah it would make you wonder why the other girls were still loyal to her if she’s not fun to hang around and it would take the impact of those scenes away(directors words), I agree fairuza killed it in this scene but I also agree that it wouldn’t make sense to leave this scene in, also fun fact they filmed this scene like 20 times, fairuza screamed her lungs out, her voice was destroyed for a couple of days
I'm not sure why people are saying this scene added nothing to the overall film. Imho, it showed how "the craft" has slowly driven Nancy insane to the point of verbally assaulting the only friends she has, intentionally bringing up very painful subjects that she knew would upset them to the point of just going along with what she says/does. This scene helps to explain why Bonnie and Rochelle turn on Sarah so quickly.
I agree. Cutting this scene left an awkward gap in the story line. This scene shows the initial rift between Nancy and Sarah. More importantly, it shows Nancy exerting her control over Bonnie and Rochelle through intimidation, making it clearer why they would be so quick to turn on Sarah like they did.
Lisa M This is EXACTLY the way power corrupts. You don't recognize who your true friends are. Sad thing is this not confined to the world of fiction. It's in the real 🌎.
They explained it well enough in the driving through lights scene. They liked the newer versions of them. Sarah was the new girl. It was prob more easy for them to ditch her.
I wonder if it was to make the fued between nancy and sara more intense. Because in this scene the other 2 girls were also in agreeance with sara about nancy getting carried away and all 3 were conspiring to do a spell. In the film we only see sara do this and then the other 2 turn on sara as well.
She cared about her friends. But then somewhere along the line it turned from 'We're friends, we look out for each other even when no-one else will" to "I was their friend when no-one else was, they owe me"
@@PabloRuizMega I don't think this movie particularly references anything from before it was made. Maybe in a distant way, "Heathers" sort of inspired the making of "The Craft". However, I'm very sure that "The Craft" inspired the launching of the series "Charmed" (Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Shannon Doherty)
I don’t think Nancy ever really cared about Rochelle and Bonnie as she said in this scene she came to them because they were both the most vulnerable girls at school and she intended to use them the same way they used Sarah because she needed them, in that scene in the end of the movie when they were at Sarah’s she threatened to kill Rochelle just for not wanting to do what she said
Yeah, like why the two other girls chose Nancy over her. And how Nancy knew about the spell she was doing. But I kinda like the way they made it look like Nancy intuitively knew about the spell, like she could magically feel it. This scene totally changes that up, and now we know that she actually overheard and that's how she knew.
I ponder the thoughts of super natural world. But I am not trying to open any kinda freaky doors & practice witch craft. Bc I actually believe in sh like that... But if I was a movie witch 😁, I'd get in ppls heads like ,"bitch, I can hear you from over here." Then creep up on ppl all of sudden like nothing ever happened. Just to walk away, saying some sly sh relevant to Wever random thought a person had about me. But not super obvious tho., Bc it's a movie. I want to drag on the head games for as long as I can 😁
"I HAVE SAVED YOU ALL FROM OBLIVION!!" God, the hurt in her eyes at this betrayal. There is such an intensity and believability to this performance. You are frightened of how unstable and explosive Nancy is when she's angry and even when she's quiet there is always something so overwhelmingly sinister about her! At the same time, Nancy manages to be sympathetic. So much power in Fairuza Balk's acting!
I don’t really think it was a “betrayal” because following the sequel of events this scene would be sometime after the invocation at the beach scene and Nancy was already being awfully mean to her “friends” so Sarah’s worries are justified and it felt more like an intervention to me they wanted to help her
Za Gabi yep, it shows how vulnerable she actually is. She's not an evil person, she's very, very angry. And she feels that everyone's abandoning her, that's why she snaps and freaks out. Btw there wasn't anything about turning her friends in their former turtured selves, she just said that when she met them they were loners and no one would ever talk to them, but now they have each other, or so she thought. So in my opinion, if you look past the "outburst" you can see how lonely Nancy is. I mean, just look at her family. And now friends. (i'm trying to look from her perspective)
Charlie Fox Well, while I do understand what you're saying and do empathize with it, she WAS actually possessed by the overwhelming influence of Manol, so really it was a combination of that (mainly) and her feeling like a loner and outcast again. She may not have inherently been an evil person, but with how she manifested her newly gained power in herself, she was beginning to turn a bit "evil," however I don't feel evil is the most apropriate word to describe her transformation. Maybe psychotic, or sociopathic, if you will?
Chris Bruder Nancy absolutely wasn’t inherently evil. She was a very emotionally damaged person clearly, and after invoking the spirit she started really losing her grip on sanity. But I always felt bad for her tbh.
@@CharlieFox2015 she literally says to the girl that have scars that "she thinks she is perfect now that she is all pretty, but she (nancy) can turn her in to who she used to be"
This scene was more essential than I think they realized at the time. I always wondered why Rochelle and Bonnie were so submissive to Nancy's influence. After all they didn't seem near as wicked, or power hungry, like how they walked out of Sarah's house when they felt things were going too far. They still possessed a conscience. This explains how she guilt/manipulated them under her control.
Thing is, at it's core...it was never about power per se. It was everybody's need to rid themselves of deep, torturous insecurities. And that's not why they left Sarah's house, remember. They left because they'd foolishly believed magic "fixed" everything only to find that magic didn't override karma (back times three...in the mirror scene). Lastly, remember that fake apology at the end? They were NEVER loyal to Sarah...or had a conscience. Everything was temporary until the well, or should I say, the cauldron lol ran dry.
@Kimillions but them turning on Sarah was very out of nowhere. You don't realize they used her until the end. The friendship seemed genuine, especially from the blessed be scene. They didn't display those traits at all, unlike Nancy who was threatened by her from the beginning. Bonnie became vain and Rochelle took pleasure in the (deserved) suffering of a racist. Neither of those developments are enough to justify their evil minion behavior. It would have made more sense for them to all fight together against Nancy for everyone's sake, then continue their coven doing good works.
@@Kimillions Even when they attacked Sarah they did show some conscience. Racquel did stand up to Nancy when she ordered her to go look for Sarah after she slit her wrists.
Whoa 30 years old?!? Playing a high school student!! I know it’s been done before but it still blows my mind. Rachel True looks so beautiful here and I also loved her on Half & Half.
I hate the way people think of Nancy. She reminds me of how I was when I was younger when I was in high school. I had an abusive father, my family ALWAYS fought with each other, I had undergone a military style boot camp for a youth program, dropped out of school from bullying and went to Job Corps and did welding while having ex-con room mates that always threatened me. All of this led to total rage and angry outbursts. I'm much more mellow now of course that I've graduated college and have a job, but when I was young people took my anger for craziness the same way they took Nancy for crazy. There's a massive difference in crazy and hurt. "YOU TURN YOUR BACKS ON ME, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS EVER DONE!" I swear I remember saying that once or twice in my youth. Either way, fantastic actors. Love this movie.
But Nancy's biggest problem in her school was the fact she was poor not because she was different. She fitted more in than the other two. The fact she bullied the other girls just showed how manipulative she was once her life seemed to be going up.
+theamvgirlx Fairuza balk (Nancy) was in American History X, The Waterboy, and many other films. I've seen the black girl (I can't remember the character's name right now) has been in a lot of tv/movies, and Robin Tunney (Sarah) was in either Prison Break or 24 (I can't remember which one)
Out of all of them, Campbell played the most and was doing really, really well in late 90s and early 00s. And then she just stopped playing in anything significant by her own choice. Panic is probably her best film. Rest of the cast either ended up with shitty productions (Balk's carrer lost momentum with god-awful Isle of Dr Moreau and American History X wasn't enough to regain it) or just TV roles (Tunney, who ironically is currently more known for her role in Mentalist than anything else)
theamvgirlx Because they chose horrible projects after this. Rachel True was on Half Baked with LaChapelle and Fairuza Balk did Water Boy right after this -_-
I really like this scene. It steps out of the whole world of Witchcraft for a moment, to show the REAL effect that these powers are actually having over these girls. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel bad for each of them and their troubling situations, but would also be telling the truth if I said that it wasn't an excuse for them to abuse their powers the way they did. Here, it takes the film to a much more emotional level, where you realize that Nancy is not just dangerous physically, but EMOTIONALLY. She's clearly never been loved or happy (or at least not in a long time) and the only way she's been able to achieve any control over her tragic life is by using these powers (unfortunately to a negative degree). In this scene, we see the MONSTER that she's become in life, but it is only because at least up until now, her opportunity to be an ANGEL has been shattered by her run-down domestic environment, her mentally oblivious Mother, her temperamental and sexually proposing Stepfather and her reputation of being sexually foul and foolish at school.
You’re right, Nancy’s actions were very understandable until halfway through the movie because after her stepfather died and her mother got the insurance money she finally had the life she always dreamed of and she was happy, the problem was that it wasn’t good enough for her, she didn’t only want things to be better for her she wanted to bully everyone else who slightly bothered her because then she thought she could
This scene would have come right before Sarah get’s the call from Chris for ‘date night’ where, because of the love spell he attacks her. If you look at Sarah’s outfit in that brief scene it is exactly what she is wearing here. This is such an important scene because it proves how negatively affected Nancy is by the power of Manon. She literally threatens Rochelle & Bonnie into sticking with her which makes their alliance one of fear later on. This scene needed to stay. Taking it out makes Bonnie and Rochelle seem like they never liked Sarah, which isn’t true. They are both terrified of Nancy. When Rochelle won’t go after Sarah after Nancy cuts her wrists Nancy goes looney tunes because her control over them is fading, and she knows it. Rochelle mentioned food as an addiction of hers because in the original script she is bulimic, unfortunately Rochelle’s character had most of her storyline cut from the final film. In the script she has successful parents we met & high achieving siblings. Rochelle’s bulimia came about as a way for her to control something in her life. She used it as a way of combatting her self-loathing for being harassed and for having an inferiority complex within her own family. It’s a shame, I think these scenes were filmed, but cut. In the final film Rochelle became the only lead character with zero family shown onscreen. Also, originally Bonnie was the one who moved the pencil & it was Sarah who witnessed it.
Actually I think Nancy didn’t go crazy because of Manon’s powers, I think it only showed what she really was all along, she was the first one of the girls who got into “the Craft” because she wanted to use it to change her sh1tty life but she knew she would need help because she wasn’t a real witch she got Rochelle and Bonnie into it because she needed them but the moment she thought she didn’t need them anymore she showed that for her they were only tools for her to use, she was oppressed but deep down she always wished she was the oppressor so the moment she got all that power to put herself in the level of a goddess and used it to mercilessly attack whoever slightly bothered her, that power highlights what the person is on the inside that’s why it affected Nancy and Sarah in different ways, their deity never came to Nancy when she tried to call Him on her own because He knew she was unworthy and had bad intentions but He went to Sarah just because she asked Him to because she used magic responsibly
Also about Rochelle I do think it would have been much better if they kept this script where she was bulimic and had these family-issues because all the girls go through their own stuff but it felt like the writers didn’t care as much about Rochelle to explore her character beyond the bullying issue
Yes, and in Original Script when Nancy is in Trailer Park, she has ankle Tattoo, tons of make-up and bleach-blonde hair. she invokes Manon for Power and Rochelle is bulimic, and I remember Nancy tried to kill Sarah but Sarah push Nancy into dark portal and she lies in pavement her neck broken... dead and Sarah went to Hospital because of hurt cut wrists and Rochelle and Bonnie tries to apologizes to her.
I always loved this movie, despite it's flaws I think it was an intelligent exploration of adolescent psychology. I wish they'd have left this scene in because it actually gives us an insight into Nancy's state of mind. It was edited, I feel to fit in with the black and white morality expected of movies aimed at the demographic, esp. 20 yrs ago! I always felt a degree of sympathy for Nancy despite her gross abuse of the powers bestowed upon her. The abused person seeking to control a situation and in turn abusing others. The coven simply becomes another dysfunctional family in addition to the one she had at home. Please Sony, don't remake a cult classic. Instead release a deluxe re-edited edition for the 20th anniversary!
I always thought it was pretty clear from the writing and her acting where Nancy's mind was and why it was there. I don't think this scene was required to show that and if you did you missed out.
Fairuza Balk was phenomenal in this scene. Captured perfectly as a teenager filled with a mix of rage, distraught, brokenness and greed in power. What a shame they had to delete this scene.
0:50 I really like what Rochelle said about Nancy being addicted to witchcraft like alcohol and needing professional help because it’s true that anything could become an addiction when it gets out of hand including religion, I remember something Terry Crews said about how in his family everyone had some sort of addiction even if they knew it wasn’t healthy, for his father it was drinking, for his mother it was going to the church and for him it was consuming pornography until he got the help he needed to overcome this.
Ive seen The Craft so many times, I was 18 when this movie came out and it has stuck with me like glue since then and this is the first time watching this scene and I loved it!! This scene makes the movie have so much sense now, for example, of why Nancy acted the way she did with Sara towards the end, (she was jealous since the beginning, knowing Sara had real powers, we see this throughout the movie) but this scene explains she was afraid that Sara was stealing her only friends, so it explains why she got so mad with Sara at one point. This scene explains also the relationship Nancy, Bonnie and Rochelle had before meeting Sara and how sad and bullied the 3 of them were; I always guessed this by the way they acted the first time we see them in the movie, where they look kinda depressed and sad, specially Rochelle and Bonnie. What I dislike about this scene is what Rochelle says to Bonnie, it doesn't make any sense at all!!!
Hi I was about 24 when that movie came out the sceen where there's bugs gave me the creeps I only watch it the once so it's been a number of years since I last saw it. ..did laura get her hair back ?
I was 17 in 1996 and I remember seeing this movie in theaters in 1996. Rachel True was 30 years old when she played in this movie. She was the oldest but looked very young at 30.
Why did they delete this scene? Such good info! This scene connects so many dots to Nancy's insanity, the girls turning on Sarah, etc. I love Fairuza! She plays the best psycho rolls.
She became addicted to 'The Craft.' All of the power she has gained was going to her head and it got to the point of where she was killing people (which is a very VERY big no-no in Witchcraft) and because they were in cohorts with her, they would have suffered the consequences with her. Thus, the 'intervention.'
@@splashenful murder in Witchcraft is a case to case basis. Medea murdered people in ancient Greek myths but it wasn't for fun or out of craziness. Nancy was getting crazy and crazy which can also be seen in other witchcraft and occult practitioners today. When Nancy told them "I saved you from oblivion" I was like "girl wth?".
@@caitlynlucille3729 Chris wouldn't have attacked Sarah if she hadn't magically enslaved him. Nancy, on the other hand, tried to kill Sarah for no real reason.
This was the perfect scene for Nancy. It shows that they were never real friends to her. They were people she saw as pitiful that would depend on her and therefore never abandon her. People she had power over. And that’s why she didn’t like Sarah from the beginning. She knew she could never overpower her. Never manipulate her mind and emotions like she did the other girls. Even though Sarah was also an outsider, she was strong and independent. And that threatened Nancy’s position with her friends. She most likely also believed that this was the only way to have friends and that Sarah would manipulate the girls into leaving Nancy and Sarah taking her place within the group.
This scene needed to be in the film! I couldn’t understand how Bonnie & Rochelle turned on Sarah and it adds more depth to their relationship/history with Nancy
The reason Rachel says "or food" and gestures to herself is because in the original script, the character was white and got bullied for being overweight, but when Rachel True auditioned she blew them away so they re-wrote the bullying storyline to be about racism instead....if anyone was wondering why someone as in-shape as her was implying she had a food addiction.
It's far from flawless and has countless issues with characterisation. Bonnie and Rochelle are basically reduced to scenery dressing, while Nancy goes bonzo not because she's insecure, lonely and feels endgangered of loosing her friends and influcence, but instead goes insane from the "unlimited powah!". This scene in and at least Nancy is not turned into a one-dimensional character in 3rd act, while Bonnie and Rochelle at least have some reason at all to still stand behind her.
I think Fairuza's dramatic perfomance here was great, although I believe she would have been waaay more pissed when she found out Sarah was trying to use magic against her.
Sarah cares so much for her and her "Friends" it's just way Nancy acting after invocation to Manon she became unhinged and all the Power gone over her head. It made Nancy so overly Insanely and controllable. She's out of control and it scares Sarah
I think the director director should've left this scene in. It helps to tell how Nancy's powers corrupted her. Not to mention that Fairuza's acting here is amazing!
ok....who else would have LOVED to see Fairuza Balk(Nancy) play Harley Quinn in a Tim Burton Batman film? Just look at 2:30 - 2:41 and tell me you don't see Harley in her....
She would have put too much shadow on the other actors. Like Heath Ledger... He was not in a Batman movie... It was a Joker movie with paper thin batman cameos...
Agree with you there they are so scared of Nancy but when Rochelle refused to go upstairs it was patently obvious how scared they were but still had a conscience so well said
Nancy really does already have a God complex in this scene. She genuinely believes that SHE saved the other two girls from essentially being nothing, when (as well all know) it was actually Sarah. Nancy's origin and goals are so similar with other villains (power and control) who have had just as bad childhoods, both in movies and in real life. It's pretty mad how applicable her illness is to real life people who were treated just as bad as her.
It's an unedited footage. It's pretty normal for those to have boom mics. That's the stuff that's removed by editor later. So in fact having sudden boom mic is not a fault of operator or boom guy, but editor.
Fairuza Balk is an awesome actress and I just adore her movies! Of course I love Robin, Neve, and Rachel as well. The surprise role was Christine Taylor playing a really mean character.
I'd prefer if they left this scene in, but also I can kind of see why they didn't. What I can say though is that Fairuza does an AMAZING job channeling the toxic friend/family member role. Both the dialogue and her acting really delivers exactly how a toxic parent speaks to their children, and the movie does an amazing job showing how children from broken families tend to reenact this behaviour on their friend groups, speaking from personal experience.
While there's nothing wrong with the acting in this scene and in fact, Fairuza rocks her part as usual, I think it was a good choice to cut this scene. This scene becomes redundant when placed with the other scenes in the movie that are plenty telling of Nancy's tenuous grasp of sanity. And the cliche of "You'd be nothing without me!" is so overdone and tiresome. There's a few scenes in the movie I wish they had expounded on at least a bit more, like the touching moment between Rochelle and Laura Lizzie or some additional footage with Sarah and Lirio perhaps, but even Fairuza's stunning screen presence and ability can't make this scene worth keeping.
0:46 LOL the look on Nancy's face... my look when someone gently suggests counseling. "AHHH ohh. I see.... Yeah you're so right, I see the error of my ways now."
I remember this and other deleted scenes on a DVD I had. Sadly I lost everything and cant find that special edition DVD again. I love this movie. Always have .
Something I noticed about this scene Rochelle: “no one could even talk to you” speak no evil Bonnie: “no one could even stand the sight of you” see no evil Sarah: *walks away because she doesn’t want to keep listening* hear no evil Nancy: *stops them from using magic against her* do no evil But maybe I’m over thinking it.
Sarah: It's- it's called a binding. To stop another from performing harm, harm against other people and one self. Rochelle: She'd be pissed. Sarah: We're not gonna tell her. Rochelle: Yeah, [Scoffs] Sarah: You guys can't tell me that you haven't seen anything different about her, she's completely lost it. All we have to do is take a picture of her and wrap a white ribbon around- Bonnie: It says it can backfire. Sarah: I think we should take the chance. Nancy: Thought we weren't supposed to practice magic on each other, ladies. Sarah: Oh, sorry, I'm just worried about you. Nancy: Worried. Worried. I'm- so touched. Bonnie: You just seem- a little out of control. Nancy: Out of control?! Rochelle: Yeah, Nancy. Maybe you need to see someone. I mean, professional. I mean, Nancy, I think it's totally possible that you could get hooked to the craft just like alcohol, food. It's- it's like those middle aged women on Sally Jessie, who just can't stop redecorating their houses and they just decorate and they just keep buying and buying and- Nancy: Could you just SHUT UP?! I HAVE SAVED YOU ALL FROM OBLIVION! Can you see that?! When I met you, no one could even talk to you. The only black girl in an all white neighborhood. Do you remember that? Wasn't so long ago now, was it? [Turns to Bonnie] Even you. Look at you. Now that you're all beautiful and perfect, you think everything's just hunky-dory! Well it's not. When I met you, no one could even stand the SIGHT OF YOU! Because you were a disgusting FREAK! AND I CAN TAKE YOU BACK THERE AND DON'T YOU DOUBT THAT! I LEAVE YOU ALONE FOR 2 MINUTES WITH HER! AND WHAT DO YOU DO?! YOU TURN YOUR BACKS ON ME JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS EVER DONE! [Turns to Sarah] And you. I only have one thing to say to you. Don't you EVER SCREW WITH ME. Sarah: Fine. Nancy. That's it. Walk away. You run away! Run away, little girl! [Chuckles] RUN HOME TO MUMMY! She'll make it better! Little bitch.
I can see why this scene wasn't left in. As poignant and touching as it was, a scene like this would have deserved a completely different movie, and it contradicted with Bonnie and Rochelle turning on Sarah later. I honestly don't think simply turning on these two and reminding them of their past would have been enough for them to turn like that. Teenagers can be weak, but not that weak.
Fabalocious Dee so why did they turn at all? At least with this scene there’s more explanation. The only other explanation I have is them fearing Nancy (she was, at least at this point in time, the most powerful of the 4 due to invoking the spirit. Obviously Sarah became far more powerful when she did the same being a natural witch or whatever)
Man her acting was incredible I remember going to see this in the movie theater in West Virginia, when this came out in the nineties it was definitely worth the money spent and now I own the DVD in my collection‼️
In reference to Bonnie, "When I met you, no one could even stand the sight of you. Because you were a disgusting freak." That was just plain damn mean. No lie
Nancy is mean by nature. Even in the film itself, when Sarah mentions her scars, Nancy's tone sounds sarcastic and unbothered when she says "Sorry." She feels hurt, and lashes out like a raging lunatic.
That was so painful to watch and definitely should have been kept to show where their friendship broke and and how it happened. It was so good to see them grow to become best friends but sad to watch it all fall apart because of power and fear .
Terrae Spiritus This is basically an alternate version of when the three of them accost Sarah, in the bathroom. This version appears as though Nancy's companions are beginning to turn against her. Apparently, they wanted Sarah to appear more alone, and near her breaking point, as apposed to seeking help for an alleged "friend" who has murdered for her. Also, I seriously doubt that teachers and workers alike at the school would've allowed a student to have bellowed and whined like that....
Love this movie and I really liked the fact how this part was the missing link in the movie..We all saw their transformation and how they acted afterwards but I love the way Nancy throws it out there..I wished they would have made a part 2 around this time..
If Nancy screamed at me of "Don't u, EVER SCREW WITH ME!!!" I would've said this..."Don't give me a reason too in the first place." Cause she is heading towards the edge, and like Sarah, I just wanna prevent her from falling which she did in the end unfortunately.
what i dont get was this ,sarah was suicidal -bonnie was burned ,nancy was crazy and they made rochelle's character "black " ? that was her problem??? in the 1990's?? they showed the other white girls family but rochelle's family wasnt really seen. i wonder why? seeing a black witch is so fuckin interesting because its the one thing we really dont see! we dont see other minorities of different colors and races as witches. they should have delved deeper with rochelle's character.
Her problem was a bit more than being black. It was severe insecurity. She secretly envied the other girls' beauty and couldn't find any pride within herself. Rachel True (Rochelle's actress) talled about the reason why she played Rochelle was because she wanted to shine more light onto Rochelle's character and the struggle black girls had in the 90s with bullying and racial slurs and so on. She made an interview about it somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Anyways, Sarah was suicidal, Bonnie was burned, Nancy was crazy, and Rochell had severe insecurity.
@@harls_974 i just think that the character "rochelle " is interesting because we rarely see black witches on tv or in the movies -we NOW see charmed reboot and i love it but something in the charmed show is lacking. in my own opinion. there are so many REAL BLACK WITCHES ON UA-cam ,that are really smart and well seasoned that if we show rochelle , and use these real black witches as a template and what she did next ,we might see that she struggled a little bit but maybe she surged as a magician or teaches other witches. maybe even their children as well. rochelle could be in a magic shop selling goods and giving tarot readings and trying her best to undo a binding that was done to her! we didnt really see her life story or a family so maybe her mother collects crystals and her father had a mother that was into hoodoo .i just know it would be a good movie to see her back on screen and talk about being bounded by magic. plus being bound by your ex friend that might hurt too! plus even through she' is bound by sarah -that dont mean that the power is not still in her! its still in her!
@@Androshi Yeah, yeah definitely. Especially with like, Afro-Latina witches, black witches, Asian witches, African-Chinese witches, and perhaps even Native American witches. There are SO many minorities that are never seen in movies that involve witchcraft. Perhaps in the reboot, it would be more diverse honestly. I would love to see perhaps a biracial one too. It would be fascinating to see these minority characters be portrayed as these badass ones and let them have their own unique personality.
Great scene! This movie could’ve been even better than it was I think... would love to see more deleted scenes. Sorry if it was on the DVD releaselol- this is new to me!
![The Craft - Healing Bonnie [Deleted Scene]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/GhWIuKXNiog/mqdefault.jpg)
They should have kept this scene in. Powerful and good display of acting. Plus it expands the story vs Bonnie and Rochelle seeming to just "suddenly" turn on Sarah.
Kevin McAdams I second that.
Agreed!
yeah it explains that nancy had leverage by threatening to take them back to where they were ..and they had sold themselves ..for a price
I also agree
Agreed
why did they delete that scene? It is pivotal to why the girls turn on Sarah.
They deleted it because the microphone is seen above the girls LOL
Jay Reyes It was high enough that I’m sure they could have edited it out. This was a rough cut.
Samuel S A Walker It's irrelevant scene considering it's 3 bad witches against one. If it was the other way around then it's important scene.
J. Ry It wasn’t because of the microphone...they cut it because if they left it in, later at the scene where they try to kill Sarah it would make you wonder why the other girls were still loyal to her if she’s not fun to hang around and it would take the impact of those scenes away(directors words), I agree fairuza killed it in this scene but I also agree that it wouldn’t make sense to leave this scene in, also fun fact they filmed this scene like 20 times, fairuza screamed her lungs out, her voice was destroyed for a couple of days
prolly like what Ellas said, and the fact that nancy was in the background of the first scene.
I'm not sure why people are saying this scene added nothing to the overall film. Imho, it showed how "the craft" has slowly driven Nancy insane to the point of verbally assaulting the only friends she has, intentionally bringing up very painful subjects that she knew would upset them to the point of just going along with what she says/does. This scene helps to explain why Bonnie and Rochelle turn on Sarah so quickly.
I agree. Cutting this scene left an awkward gap in the story line. This scene shows the initial rift between Nancy and Sarah. More importantly, it shows Nancy exerting her control over Bonnie and Rochelle through intimidation, making it clearer why they would be so quick to turn on Sarah like they did.
I feel like there was a gap too. I think they got rid of this scene because to some extent it didn't make sense though.
Jay West yes, it didn't make sense, of cohrse it would explain some things, but doesn't make sense with Sarah and Rochelle past behaviors.
Lisa M This is EXACTLY the way
power corrupts.
You don't recognize who your
true friends are.
Sad thing is this not confined
to the world of fiction.
It's in the real 🌎.
They explained it well enough in the driving through lights scene. They liked the newer versions of them. Sarah was the new girl. It was prob more easy for them to ditch her.
This scene was perfect, they shouldn't have cut this....
Witcher Crafts IKR
They prob cut it since the boom mic was all in it. lol
+Alvin Poyser the boom mic is so high up they would have been able to cut the shot down
I wonder if it was to make the fued between nancy and sara more intense. Because in this scene the other 2 girls were also in agreeance with sara about nancy getting carried away and all 3 were conspiring to do a spell. In the film we only see sara do this and then the other 2 turn on sara as well.
Witcher Crafts it was a pretty cool scene but I don't think it would have moved the story it was probably for time purposes more than anything
She cared about her friends. But then somewhere along the line it turned from 'We're friends, we look out for each other even when no-one else will" to "I was their friend when no-one else was, they owe me"
It is a slippery slope from one to the other
is the craft based on true events it has to be based on somebody something
@@PabloRuizMega I don't think this movie particularly references anything from before it was made. Maybe in a distant way, "Heathers" sort of inspired the making of "The Craft". However, I'm very sure that "The Craft" inspired the launching of the series "Charmed" (Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Shannon Doherty)
I don’t think Nancy ever really cared about Rochelle and Bonnie as she said in this scene she came to them because they were both the most vulnerable girls at school and she intended to use them the same way they used Sarah because she needed them, in that scene in the end of the movie when they were at Sarah’s she threatened to kill Rochelle just for not wanting to do what she said
@@lauracerqueiramachado8979 good point
fairuzas mouth could be its own character.
euroaaRON1 Her mouth gives me life!!!
Her mouth has a life of its own.
euroaaRON1 now that you say this I can’t not not look at it ..
Harlequinn
Her mouth is like looking into a cave and this strange noise comes out of it and it sounds absolutely....TERRIBLE ☺
They should have added this in, it would explain and make certain things a little more sense
Yeah, like why the two other girls chose Nancy over her. And how Nancy knew about the spell she was doing. But I kinda like the way they made it look like Nancy intuitively knew about the spell, like she could magically feel it. This scene totally changes that up, and now we know that she actually overheard and that's how she knew.
I ponder the thoughts of super natural world. But I am not trying to open any kinda freaky doors & practice witch craft. Bc I actually believe in sh like that... But if I was a movie witch 😁, I'd get in ppls heads like ,"bitch, I can hear you from over here." Then creep up on ppl all of sudden like nothing ever happened. Just to walk away, saying some sly sh relevant to Wever random thought a person had about me. But not super obvious tho., Bc it's a movie. I want to drag on the head games for as long as I can 😁
Exactly when Sarah first wanted to do that bonded curse on Nancy
"I HAVE SAVED YOU ALL FROM OBLIVION!!"
God, the hurt in her eyes at this betrayal. There is such an intensity and believability to this performance. You are frightened of how unstable and explosive Nancy is when she's angry and even when she's quiet there is always something so overwhelmingly sinister about her! At the same time, Nancy manages to be sympathetic. So much power in Fairuza Balk's acting!
I don’t really think it was a “betrayal” because following the sequel of events this scene would be sometime after the invocation at the beach scene and Nancy was already being awfully mean to her “friends” so Sarah’s worries are justified and it felt more like an intervention to me they wanted to help her
And yes, Fairuza killed it!
😂
Stop
@@lauracerqueiramachado8979agreed
This makes Nancy so much more relatable! They should have kept this scene, in my opinion.
...You think this psycho outburst where she threatens to turn her friends back into their former tortured selves makes her relatable? SMH
Za Gabi yep, it shows how vulnerable she actually is. She's not an evil person, she's very, very angry. And she feels that everyone's abandoning her, that's why she snaps and freaks out. Btw there wasn't anything about turning her friends in their former turtured selves, she just said that when she met them they were loners and no one would ever talk to them, but now they have each other, or so she thought. So in my opinion, if you look past the "outburst" you can see how lonely Nancy is. I mean, just look at her family. And now friends. (i'm trying to look from her perspective)
Charlie Fox Well, while I do understand what you're saying and do empathize with it, she WAS actually possessed by the overwhelming influence of Manol, so really it was a combination of that (mainly) and her feeling like a loner and outcast again. She may not have inherently been an evil person, but with how she manifested her newly gained power in herself, she was beginning to turn a bit "evil," however I don't feel evil is the most apropriate word to describe her transformation. Maybe psychotic, or sociopathic, if you will?
Chris Bruder Nancy absolutely wasn’t inherently evil. She was a very emotionally damaged person clearly, and after invoking the spirit she started really losing her grip on sanity. But I always felt bad for her tbh.
@@CharlieFox2015 she literally says to the girl that have scars that "she thinks she is perfect now that she is all pretty, but she (nancy) can turn her in to who she used to be"
This is so powerful.
the feelings Nancy was projecting sounded so genuine. Too bad this isn't in the movie. :(
This scene was more essential than I think they realized at the time. I always wondered why Rochelle and Bonnie were so submissive to Nancy's influence. After all they didn't seem near as wicked, or power hungry, like how they walked out of Sarah's house when they felt things were going too far. They still possessed a conscience. This explains how she guilt/manipulated them under her control.
Thing is, at it's core...it was never about power per se. It was everybody's need to rid themselves of deep, torturous insecurities. And that's not why they left Sarah's house, remember. They left because they'd foolishly believed magic "fixed" everything only to find that magic didn't override karma (back times three...in the mirror scene). Lastly, remember that fake apology at the end? They were NEVER loyal to Sarah...or had a conscience. Everything was temporary until the well, or should I say, the cauldron lol ran dry.
@Kimillions but them turning on Sarah was very out of nowhere. You don't realize they used her until the end. The friendship seemed genuine, especially from the blessed be scene. They didn't display those traits at all, unlike Nancy who was threatened by her from the beginning. Bonnie became vain and Rochelle took pleasure in the (deserved) suffering of a racist. Neither of those developments are enough to justify their evil minion behavior. It would have made more sense for them to all fight together against Nancy for everyone's sake, then continue their coven doing good works.
@@Kimillions Even when they attacked Sarah they did show some conscience. Racquel did stand up to Nancy when she ordered her to go look for Sarah after she slit her wrists.
@@marzipantartAgree with all you said but seems like Racquel didnt enjoy Lizzie's curse. She seemed shocked how bad it was.
Love this movie. Rachel True is so pretty
I can't believe that she was 30 years old when she played in this movie. I thought she was a teenager in this movie.
she's aged beautifully too
@@reggierodriguez6546 WAIT SHE WHAT
@@thatbitchnoemie Well she was 29 at the oldest, nearly 30. And now she looks 30 at the age of 53
Whoa 30 years old?!? Playing a high school student!! I know it’s been done before but it still blows my mind. Rachel True looks so beautiful here and I also loved her on Half & Half.
I hate the way people think of Nancy. She reminds me of how I was when I was younger when I was in high school. I had an abusive father, my family ALWAYS fought with each other, I had undergone a military style boot camp for a youth program, dropped out of school from bullying and went to Job Corps and did welding while having ex-con room mates that always threatened me. All of this led to total rage and angry outbursts. I'm much more mellow now of course that I've graduated college and have a job, but when I was young people took my anger for craziness the same way they took Nancy for crazy. There's a massive difference in crazy and hurt. "YOU TURN YOUR BACKS ON ME, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS EVER DONE!" I swear I remember saying that once or twice in my youth. Either way, fantastic actors. Love this movie.
Awww I'm sorry to hear that man
Corporate Agent turn to Jesus
But Nancy's biggest problem in her school was the fact she was poor not because she was different. She fitted more in than the other two. The fact she bullied the other girls just showed how manipulative she was once her life seemed to be going up.
@Billie She still human tho
oh boo hoo you sound like one of those pathetic stinky bums on the subway just one sob story after another.
...Why do these actors not have work?? They are AMAZING!
Well Neve Campbell achieved mass popularity thanks to the "Scream" series :)
JonathansPiano I'm one of the few people that haven't watched "Scream" XD
+theamvgirlx Fairuza balk (Nancy) was in American History X, The Waterboy, and many other films. I've seen the black girl (I can't remember the character's name right now) has been in a lot of tv/movies, and Robin Tunney (Sarah) was in either Prison Break or 24 (I can't remember which one)
Out of all of them, Campbell played the most and was doing really, really well in late 90s and early 00s. And then she just stopped playing in anything significant by her own choice. Panic is probably her best film.
Rest of the cast either ended up with shitty productions (Balk's carrer lost momentum with god-awful Isle of Dr Moreau and American History X wasn't enough to regain it) or just TV roles (Tunney, who ironically is currently more known for her role in Mentalist than anything else)
theamvgirlx Because they chose horrible projects after this. Rachel True was on Half Baked with LaChapelle and Fairuza Balk did Water Boy right after this -_-
Fairuza Balk has serious talent. She strikes fear into the heart.
She does psycho chick better than anybody else. I love her character as Nancy in The Craft.
Imagine getting into an argument with her over who’s going to do the dishes.
I really like this scene. It steps out of the whole world of Witchcraft for a moment, to show the REAL effect that these powers are actually having over these girls. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel bad for each of them and their troubling situations, but would also be telling the truth if I said that it wasn't an excuse for them to abuse their powers the way they did. Here, it takes the film to a much more emotional level, where you realize that Nancy is not just dangerous physically, but EMOTIONALLY. She's clearly never been loved or happy (or at least not in a long time) and the only way she's been able to achieve any control over her tragic life is by using these powers (unfortunately to a negative degree). In this scene, we see the MONSTER that she's become in life, but it is only because at least up until now, her opportunity to be an ANGEL has been shattered by her run-down domestic environment, her mentally oblivious Mother, her temperamental and sexually proposing Stepfather and her reputation of being sexually foul and foolish at school.
perfectly explained.
+Syl Ensabuhnir Thanks! :)
You’re right, Nancy’s actions were very understandable until halfway through the movie because after her stepfather died and her mother got the insurance money she finally had the life she always dreamed of and she was happy, the problem was that it wasn’t good enough for her, she didn’t only want things to be better for her she wanted to bully everyone else who slightly bothered her because then she thought she could
This scene would have come right before Sarah get’s the call from Chris for ‘date night’ where, because of the love spell he attacks her. If you look at Sarah’s outfit in that brief scene it is exactly what she is wearing here.
This is such an important scene because it proves how negatively affected Nancy is by the power of Manon. She literally threatens Rochelle & Bonnie into sticking with her which makes their alliance one of fear later on. This scene needed to stay. Taking it out makes Bonnie and Rochelle seem like they never liked Sarah, which isn’t true. They are both terrified of Nancy. When Rochelle won’t go after Sarah after Nancy cuts her wrists Nancy goes looney tunes because her control over them is fading, and she knows it.
Rochelle mentioned food as an addiction of hers because in the original script she is bulimic, unfortunately Rochelle’s character had most of her storyline cut from the final film. In the script she has successful parents we met & high achieving siblings. Rochelle’s bulimia came about as a way for her to control something in her life. She used it as a way of combatting her self-loathing for being harassed and for having an inferiority complex within her own family. It’s a shame, I think these scenes were filmed, but cut. In the final film Rochelle became the only lead character with zero family shown onscreen.
Also, originally Bonnie was the one who moved the pencil
& it was Sarah who witnessed it.
Actually I think Nancy didn’t go crazy because of Manon’s powers, I think it only showed what she really was all along, she was the first one of the girls who got into “the Craft” because she wanted to use it to change her sh1tty life but she knew she would need help because she wasn’t a real witch she got Rochelle and Bonnie into it because she needed them but the moment she thought she didn’t need them anymore she showed that for her they were only tools for her to use, she was oppressed but deep down she always wished she was the oppressor so the moment she got all that power to put herself in the level of a goddess and used it to mercilessly attack whoever slightly bothered her, that power highlights what the person is on the inside that’s why it affected Nancy and Sarah in different ways, their deity never came to Nancy when she tried to call Him on her own because He knew she was unworthy and had bad intentions but He went to Sarah just because she asked Him to because she used magic responsibly
Also about Rochelle I do think it would have been much better if they kept this script where she was bulimic and had these family-issues because all the girls go through their own stuff but it felt like the writers didn’t care as much about Rochelle to explore her character beyond the bullying issue
Yes, and in Original Script when Nancy is in Trailer Park, she has ankle Tattoo, tons of make-up and bleach-blonde hair. she invokes Manon for Power and Rochelle is bulimic, and I remember Nancy tried to kill Sarah but Sarah push Nancy into dark portal and she lies in pavement her neck broken... dead and Sarah went to Hospital because of hurt cut wrists and Rochelle and Bonnie tries to apologizes to her.
I always loved this movie, despite it's flaws I think it was an intelligent exploration of adolescent psychology. I wish they'd have left this scene in because it actually gives us an insight into Nancy's state of mind. It was edited, I feel to fit in with the black and white morality expected of movies aimed at the demographic, esp. 20 yrs ago! I always felt a degree of sympathy for Nancy despite her gross abuse of the powers bestowed upon her. The abused person seeking to control a situation and in turn abusing others. The coven simply becomes another dysfunctional family in addition to the one she had at home. Please Sony, don't remake a cult classic. Instead release a deluxe re-edited edition for the 20th anniversary!
🕯💀🔮💀🕯
I'm still somewhat in disbelief that this film is 22 years old already
When she bullied marsha
I always thought it was pretty clear from the writing and her acting where Nancy's mind was and why it was there. I don't think this scene was required to show that and if you did you missed out.
this didnt really age well with legacy coming out...
Fairuza Balk was phenomenal in this scene. Captured perfectly as a teenager filled with a mix of rage, distraught, brokenness and greed in power. What a shame they had to delete this scene.
0:50 I really like what Rochelle said about Nancy being addicted to witchcraft like alcohol and needing professional help because it’s true that anything could become an addiction when it gets out of hand including religion, I remember something Terry Crews said about how in his family everyone had some sort of addiction even if they knew it wasn’t healthy, for his father it was drinking, for his mother it was going to the church and for him it was consuming pornography until he got the help he needed to overcome this.
Total mistake cutting this out.
I have saved you all from OBLIVION! No you didn't. Sarah did that. If she never showed up, you guys would all be powerless loners.
So true
Power of the Craft..Drunk w power and control.
Bella Rafter
EXACTLY👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What madness does.
Scream. That other girl plays as Nancy, right? Or is that her mom's name. She always has awkward vibes.
This scene literally explains the entire second half of the movie. Its so good.
That part
This is pretty good. Her acting is phenomenal
I know right
Totally agree bro
Ive seen The Craft so many times, I was 18 when this movie came out and it has stuck with me like glue since then and this is the first time watching this scene and I loved it!! This scene makes the movie have so much sense now, for example, of why Nancy acted the way she did with Sara towards the end, (she was jealous since the beginning, knowing Sara had real powers, we see this throughout the movie) but this scene explains she was afraid that Sara was stealing her only friends, so it explains why she got so mad with Sara at one point. This scene explains also the relationship Nancy, Bonnie and Rochelle had before meeting Sara and how sad and bullied the 3 of them were; I always guessed this by the way they acted the first time we see them in the movie, where they look kinda depressed and sad, specially Rochelle and Bonnie. What I dislike about this scene is what Rochelle says to Bonnie, it doesn't make any sense at all!!!
what Rochelle says to Nancy*
+skarsgardskull Wait, was Nancy not a real witch? I thought they all had natural abilities?
Hi I was about 24 when that movie came out the sceen where there's bugs gave me the creeps I only watch it the once so it's been a number of years since I last saw it. ..did laura get her hair back ?
I was 17 in 1996 and I remember seeing this movie in theaters in 1996. Rachel True was 30 years old when she played in this movie. She was the oldest but looked very young at 30.
Reggie Rodriguez I didn't believe you at first but I just looked it up and I'm shocked.
So weird seeing the girls be on Sarah’s side against Nancy
Why did they delete this scene? Such good info! This scene connects so many dots to Nancy's insanity, the girls turning on Sarah, etc.
I love Fairuza! She plays the best psycho rolls.
She did such a great job on this movie.
Her huge mouth makes her look even more intimidating when she's mad.
She became addicted to 'The Craft.' All of the power she has gained was going to her head and it got to the point of where she was killing people (which is a very VERY big no-no in Witchcraft) and because they were in cohorts with her, they would have suffered the consequences with her. Thus, the 'intervention.'
Depends upon the witchcraft. In Wicca it is. In other types, no.
@@splashenful murder in Witchcraft is a case to case basis. Medea murdered people in ancient Greek myths but it wasn't for fun or out of craziness. Nancy was getting crazy and crazy which can also be seen in other witchcraft and occult practitioners today. When Nancy told them "I saved you from oblivion" I was like "girl wth?".
A big no no for “Wiccans”
She killed two rapists lmao it’s not that deep Nancy is not a villain
@@caitlynlucille3729 Chris wouldn't have attacked Sarah if she hadn't magically enslaved him. Nancy, on the other hand, tried to kill Sarah for no real reason.
This was the perfect scene for Nancy. It shows that they were never real friends to her. They were people she saw as pitiful that would depend on her and therefore never abandon her. People she had power over. And that’s why she didn’t like Sarah from the beginning. She knew she could never overpower her. Never manipulate her mind and emotions like she did the other girls. Even though Sarah was also an outsider, she was strong and independent. And that threatened Nancy’s position with her friends. She most likely also believed that this was the only way to have friends and that Sarah would manipulate the girls into leaving Nancy and Sarah taking her place within the group.
Shame this scene wasn't left in the movie, very powerful. Fairuza Balk is my idol, she's awesome, this movie would have been nothing without her.
This scene needed to be in the film! I couldn’t understand how Bonnie & Rochelle turned on Sarah and it adds more depth to their relationship/history with Nancy
exactly, maybe it was too controversial with the black thing though.
The reason Rachel says "or food" and gestures to herself is because in the original script, the character was white and got bullied for being overweight, but when Rachel True auditioned she blew them away so they re-wrote the bullying storyline to be about racism instead....if anyone was wondering why someone as in-shape as her was implying she had a food addiction.
This scene alone shows exactly how Nancy is the one friend people do not want to admit they are afraid of
Why it was removed?! This scene could save the 3rd act all by itself
Myrth1 NANCY IS THE TRUE VICTIM OF THIS FILM! SHE'S THE HERO!
... nope xD
It's far from flawless and has countless issues with characterisation. Bonnie and Rochelle are basically reduced to scenery dressing, while Nancy goes bonzo not because she's insecure, lonely and feels endgangered of loosing her friends and influcence, but instead goes insane from the "unlimited powah!".
This scene in and at least Nancy is not turned into a one-dimensional character in 3rd act, while Bonnie and Rochelle at least have some reason at all to still stand behind her.
Agreed
Nancy could've had it ok if she didn't go off power trippin'. When you try to befriend the narcissist
I think Fairuza's dramatic perfomance here was great, although I believe she would have been waaay more pissed when she found out Sarah was trying to use magic against her.
Sarah cares so much for her and her "Friends" it's just way Nancy acting after invocation to Manon she became unhinged and all the Power gone over her head. It made Nancy so overly Insanely and controllable. She's out of control and it scares Sarah
I think the director director should've left this scene in. It helps to tell how Nancy's powers corrupted her. Not to mention that Fairuza's acting here is amazing!
Yo the way Sarah's face was when Nancy was screaming at them she's like whatever bitch
tatum kidder no her face was like this bitch is crazy as fuck.
Damian Starks facts but did u here about them making a remake of the Craft
tatum kidder no I haven't heard that this movie is a classic please don't tell me they are not going to do that.
Damian Starks unfortunately my friend they are but their adding a whole new cast setting and plot
tatum kidder Tippi cal remake /reboot always changing the whole story.
ok....who else would have LOVED to see Fairuza Balk(Nancy) play Harley Quinn in a Tim Burton Batman film? Just look at 2:30 - 2:41 and tell me you don't see Harley in her....
I see early Tim Curry in her...
I've always said that
She would have put too much shadow on the other actors. Like Heath Ledger... He was not in a Batman movie... It was a Joker movie with paper thin batman cameos...
She should be Live wire on Superman ⚡️
She's scary--Nancy--is fricking scary.
How the hell was Rachel True in her 30s when this was filmed!?!?
Aurora Carmody
She was the oldest cast member and looks about 18 or 19 in this!
Sugar Free I know, its crazy!
+Lara Soft because black don't crack baby
Because she wasn't. She was 29.
pompe221 you must be fun at parties!
OMFG !! * . * I love Fairuza Balk !! She's amazing !!!!
Hello , I just udo Brazil , and I am a big fan of this film , you could tell me what they are talking about?
Wished they would have left the scene in.
My brother would watch this over and over again
I wish they put this in the movie. It would make more sense why they turned on Sarah.
Agree with you there they are so scared of Nancy but when Rochelle refused to go upstairs it was patently obvious how scared they were but still had a conscience so well said
Nancy really does already have a God complex in this scene. She genuinely believes that SHE saved the other two girls from essentially being nothing, when (as well all know) it was actually Sarah. Nancy's origin and goals are so similar with other villains (power and control) who have had just as bad childhoods, both in movies and in real life. It's pretty mad how applicable her illness is to real life people who were treated just as bad as her.
Nancy’s acting is impeccable, I loooove
Omg can't believe never seen this before... - makes me want to watch the craft all over again. 💕
Fairuza Balk is a truly awesome actress, especially at the very end of the movie.
Well that boom operator definitely got fired.
It's an unedited footage. It's pretty normal for those to have boom mics. That's the stuff that's removed by editor later. So in fact having sudden boom mic is not a fault of operator or boom guy, but editor.
Fairuza is such a great actress!
Santana Moreno she dominated in this movie.
She ate the movie she was that good
Such an underrated movie, so good
I’m so glad they didn’t add this scene. It’s like an after school special lmaoo
Love this movie, so awesome to see a new scene. No idea this existed. Such amazing acting, Nancy scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
Fairuza Balk is an awesome actress and I just adore her movies! Of course I love Robin, Neve, and Rachel as well. The surprise role was Christine Taylor playing a really mean character.
They don't make movies like this anymore! This kind of writing and film was finesse. 💯
I'd prefer if they left this scene in, but also I can kind of see why they didn't. What I can say though is that Fairuza does an AMAZING job channeling the toxic friend/family member role. Both the dialogue and her acting really delivers exactly how a toxic parent speaks to their children, and the movie does an amazing job showing how children from broken families tend to reenact this behaviour on their friend groups, speaking from personal experience.
While there's nothing wrong with the acting in this scene and in fact, Fairuza rocks her part as usual, I think it was a good choice to cut this scene.
This scene becomes redundant when placed with the other scenes in the movie that are plenty telling of Nancy's tenuous grasp of sanity. And the cliche of "You'd be nothing without me!" is so overdone and tiresome.
There's a few scenes in the movie I wish they had expounded on at least a bit more, like the touching moment between Rochelle and Laura Lizzie or some additional footage with Sarah and Lirio perhaps, but even Fairuza's stunning screen presence and ability can't make this scene worth keeping.
These girls really pulled this scene together. Amazing acting skills.
WOW that was brilliant. Don't now how this did not make the final version. Thanks for posting this!☺️🖤
Nancy
0:46 LOL the look on Nancy's face... my look when someone gently suggests counseling. "AHHH ohh. I see.... Yeah you're so right, I see the error of my ways now."
its a shame this was deleted
The need to re release the Craft uncut director's cut lol. With everything they left out and put in. Plus do part 2 with all the original girls
This shouldn't have been deleted.
I remember this and other deleted scenes on a DVD I had. Sadly I lost everything and cant find that special edition DVD again.
I love this movie. Always have .
Amazon!
Loving the 90s brown lipstick 😍😂
but i like Rachel having lines lol
Something I noticed about this scene
Rochelle: “no one could even talk to you” speak no evil
Bonnie: “no one could even stand the sight of you” see no evil
Sarah: *walks away because she doesn’t want to keep listening* hear no evil
Nancy: *stops them from using magic against her* do no evil
But maybe I’m over thinking it.
WHY DID THEY CUT THIS?!?
This was a brilliant scene & showed how out of control Nancy was & how paranoid she was becoming.
This scene DEFINITELY should’ve been in the film !!! It fit perfectly 🙄😭
I’m writing this into my funeral request to be played when I die.
lmaoo
Me too haha
Sarah: It's- it's called a binding. To stop another from performing harm, harm against other people and one self.
Rochelle: She'd be pissed.
Sarah: We're not gonna tell her.
Rochelle: Yeah, [Scoffs]
Sarah: You guys can't tell me that you haven't seen anything different about her, she's completely lost it.
All we have to do is take a picture of her and wrap a white ribbon around-
Bonnie: It says it can backfire.
Sarah: I think we should take the chance.
Nancy: Thought we weren't supposed to practice magic on each other, ladies.
Sarah: Oh, sorry, I'm just worried about you.
Nancy: Worried. Worried. I'm- so touched.
Bonnie: You just seem- a little out of control.
Nancy: Out of control?!
Rochelle: Yeah, Nancy. Maybe you need to see someone. I mean, professional. I mean, Nancy, I think it's totally
possible that you could get hooked to the craft just like alcohol, food. It's- it's like those middle aged
women on Sally Jessie, who just can't stop redecorating their houses and they just decorate and they just keep buying and buying and-
Nancy: Could you just SHUT UP?! I HAVE SAVED YOU ALL FROM OBLIVION! Can you see that?! When I met you, no one could even talk to you. The only black girl in an all white neighborhood. Do you remember that? Wasn't so long ago now, was it? [Turns to Bonnie] Even you. Look at you. Now that you're all beautiful and perfect, you think everything's just hunky-dory! Well it's not. When I met you, no one could even stand the SIGHT OF YOU! Because you were a disgusting FREAK! AND I CAN TAKE YOU BACK THERE AND DON'T YOU DOUBT THAT! I LEAVE YOU ALONE FOR 2 MINUTES WITH HER! AND WHAT DO YOU DO?! YOU TURN YOUR BACKS ON ME JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS EVER DONE! [Turns to Sarah] And you. I only have one thing to say to you. Don't you EVER SCREW WITH ME.
Sarah: Fine.
Nancy. That's it. Walk away. You run away! Run away, little girl! [Chuckles] RUN HOME TO MUMMY! She'll make it better! Little bitch.
I can see why this scene wasn't left in. As poignant and touching as it was, a scene like this would have deserved a completely different movie, and it contradicted with Bonnie and Rochelle turning on Sarah later. I honestly don't think simply turning on these two and reminding them of their past would have been enough for them to turn like that. Teenagers can be weak, but not that weak.
Fabalocious Dee so why did they turn at all? At least with this scene there’s more explanation. The only other explanation I have is them fearing Nancy (she was, at least at this point in time, the most powerful of the 4 due to invoking the spirit. Obviously Sarah became far more powerful when she did the same being a natural witch or whatever)
Man her acting was incredible I remember going to see this in the movie theater in West Virginia, when this came out in the nineties it was definitely worth the money spent and now I own the DVD in my collection‼️
ugh you’re so lucky
Fairuza really deserved an award for this; she's perfection.
Agreed.
2022 .. and it’s the first time I see this deleted scene
In reference to Bonnie, "When I met you, no one could even stand the sight of you. Because you were a disgusting freak." That was just plain damn mean. No lie
Nancy is mean by nature. Even in the film itself, when Sarah mentions her scars, Nancy's tone sounds sarcastic and unbothered when she says "Sorry." She feels hurt, and lashes out like a raging lunatic.
That was so painful to watch and definitely should have been kept to show where their friendship broke and and how it happened. It was so good to see them grow to become best friends but sad to watch it all fall apart because of power and fear .
Why the hell they cut this scene!!! It ties everything together!!!!! We needed this scene!!!!
LMAO the way she looked when she said "Out of control?" was so funny!!!
Yeah, I understand why they cut this out....
Black Skull why's that?
Terrae Spiritus This is basically an alternate version of when the three of them accost Sarah, in the bathroom. This version appears as though Nancy's companions are beginning to turn against her. Apparently, they wanted Sarah to appear more alone, and near her breaking point, as apposed to seeking help for an alleged "friend" who has murdered for her. Also, I seriously doubt that teachers and workers alike at the school would've allowed a student to have bellowed and whined like that....
@@zaknafein_aconite That's very true. But Damn, the acting by Fairuza was phenomenal
Love this movie and I really liked the fact how this part was the missing link in the movie..We all saw their transformation and how they acted afterwards but I love the way Nancy throws it out there..I wished they would have made a part 2 around this time..
Thanks for sharing this. I love this movie and have never seen this scene before.
she’s just brilliant
Agreed.
literally if bonnie and rochelle never betrayed sarah those two should’ve teamed up with sarah and stopped nancy from all her crazy-ness 😭
They should've left it in the movie. So what if it would've made the movie longer.
I don't know I love Nancy so much? Everything she says is so extra and iconic lol.
Fairuza Balk is a really good actress. She's really scary in this role.
This movie is great! Nancy is such a wonderful actress.
If Nancy screamed at me of "Don't u, EVER SCREW WITH ME!!!" I would've said this..."Don't give me a reason too in the first place."
Cause she is heading towards the edge, and like Sarah, I just wanna prevent her from falling which she did in the end unfortunately.
after you do say that, duck and leave town
Should have kept this scene in. Amazing acting, expecially from Fairuza! Truly amazing
First time seeing this deleted scene and I've watched this movie since almost 15-20 years ago!
Nancy is acting like Bonnie was hideous before she got magical. Even with the the burn scars, she’s still Neve Freaking Campbell!
This proves that the role of Rochelle was supposed to be a girl that suffered from bullimia by having her mention “food” when talking about addiction.
Wow this gives me Buffy Season 6 Willow vibes...the addiction of magic aspect is such an interesting and under-explored aspect of media
what i dont get was this ,sarah was suicidal -bonnie was burned ,nancy was crazy and they made rochelle's character "black " ?
that was her problem??? in the 1990's?? they showed the other white girls family but rochelle's family wasnt really seen.
i wonder why? seeing a black witch is so fuckin interesting because its the one thing we really dont see! we dont see other minorities of different colors and races as witches. they should have delved deeper with rochelle's character.
Her problem was a bit more than being black. It was severe insecurity. She secretly envied the other girls' beauty and couldn't find any pride within herself. Rachel True (Rochelle's actress) talled about the reason why she played Rochelle was because she wanted to shine more light onto Rochelle's character and the struggle black girls had in the 90s with bullying and racial slurs and so on. She made an interview about it somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Anyways, Sarah was suicidal, Bonnie was burned, Nancy was crazy, and Rochell had severe insecurity.
@@harls_974 i just think that the character "rochelle " is interesting because we rarely see black witches on tv or in the movies -we NOW see charmed reboot and i love it but something in the charmed show is lacking. in my own opinion.
there are so many REAL BLACK WITCHES ON UA-cam ,that are really smart and well seasoned that if we show rochelle , and use these real black witches as a template and what she did next ,we might see that she struggled a little bit but maybe she surged as a magician or teaches other witches. maybe even their children as well.
rochelle could be in a magic shop selling goods and giving tarot readings and trying her best to undo a binding that was done to her! we didnt really see her life story or a family so maybe her mother collects crystals and her father had a mother that was into hoodoo .i just know it would be a good movie to see her back on screen and talk about being bounded by magic. plus being bound by your ex friend that might hurt too! plus even through she' is bound by sarah -that dont mean that the power is not still in her! its still in her!
@@Androshi Yeah, yeah definitely. Especially with like, Afro-Latina witches, black witches, Asian witches, African-Chinese witches, and perhaps even Native American witches. There are SO many minorities that are never seen in movies that involve witchcraft. Perhaps in the reboot, it would be more diverse honestly. I would love to see perhaps a biracial one too. It would be fascinating to see these minority characters be portrayed as these badass ones and let them have their own unique personality.
Damn they should have left this scene in!
+Ricertopia I know right! I didm;t even think the other girls were concerned about her.
Great scene! This movie could’ve been even better than it was I think... would love to see more deleted scenes. Sorry if it was on the DVD releaselol- this is new to me!
Woooow, Oscar-winning acting!!! That's weird that she doesn't have no oscar.
This scene should've been added to the overall film. It's fantastic!
