Info on Lost Highway deleted scenes?

Post by bosguy1981 »

I've read a lot about the deleted scenes for Dune and Blue Velvet and Fire Walk With Me, and I've seen the deleted scenes from Wild at Heart.

What about Lost Highway? Is there a detailed list of deleted scenes available? Any information on exactly how many scenes were cut?

Hey bos, got this from IMDB:

An unconfirmed report has that a Director's Cut of the film exists which has a number of scenes deleted from the original 134 minute print. Some of the missing scenes include:
-A dinner scene with Fred and Renee where Fred asks her where she was when he phoned her from the jazz club the night before, and when she says that she never left the house all evening, his suspicions of her cheating on him intensifies.
-Another scene of a third videotape arriving at Fred and Renee's house where they watch it and catch a glimpse of a cold-faced Fred on one frame. They phone the detectives Al and Lou again who pay them another visit.
-A scene set in the morgue where the attendant, George, prepares an autopsy on Renee's mutilated body where he is joined by a tuxedo-clad medical examiner and the examiner's girlfriend, Joyce, which is followed by a courtroom scene where Fred faints after hearing the jury forewoman read the guilty verdict and the judge's sentence of death, which is only heard in the original version.
-A scene in a lingerie shop where two young women, Marian and Raquel, glimpsed only in the porno film at the end, talk about the Renee Madison murder and about the method of execution the state would use when they are interrupted by Andy to gesters for them to hurry up with their selections.
-Another scene follows where Andy, Marian and Raquel are involved in a drugged-out threesome orgy at his house.
-A prison scene where one inmate is shown being led out of his cell to the gas chamber with other prisoners taunting him and the guards preparing for the execution as if it was a formal gathering, plus another scene of Fred talking to the prison guards in the courtyard the next day.
-A full scene of dialogue between the prison warden and Pete Dayton's parents, Candace and Bill, where they are told of their son's whereabouts and his physical condition where he has a hematoma on his forehead and blepharitis, redness around the eyes. Pete is then brought into the office where he doesn't respond to questions asked, and Bill and Candace are told that they can take him home. The warden then makes a statement to reporters about the disappearance of Fred Madison from the prison.
-Extended scenes of dialogue between Pete and his friends Steve V, Teddy, Carl and Lanie on their arrival at his house where Lanie shows them a scar on her abdomen from an operation she just had. Plus more dialogue as the four ride in Steve V's car, where the first arrive at a drive-in restaurant called Johnny's where they pick up Sheila and her two girlfriends and then drive to the bowling alley.
-An extra scene of Pete riding up Van Nuys Boulevard at night on his motorcycle where he arrives at Johnny's Drive-In where he meets with Steve V, Carl and Sheila where Pete responds awkward towards them as he is having a mysterious headache. Pete then savagely beats up two guys who try to pick up Sheila much to her shock.
-A brief scene of Fred Madison checking into the Lost Highway Motel and walking towards Room 25 which he knows is right next to Room 26 where Renee and Mr. Eddy are.

Don't know how much of it was filmed tho. Maybe dugpa could check it out for us.

Thanks, Sam! Just seeing this now.

I also came across some more information on thecityofabsurdity that lists some additional scenes that may have been filmed.

-Luna Lounge scene, the second one where Fred sees Renee and Andy (full version)
-Forensic experts examination of the Madison House,
-Sequence after they've found Pete in Fred's cell; Pete is examined by Dr. Rogoff.
-Johnny Mack looking around in Fred's cell.
-Dayton House, Pete's parents (smoking a joint) and do not see Pete, and vice versa.
-Pete and Alice followed by a car (Ed and Al)
-Sheila calls Pete.
-Residential street, edge of desert, Alice talking to houseboy.

This was more likely shot, as I have a still of what that scene would be:

Hopefully someday we'll get a Blu-ray release of Lost Highway with at least some of the deleted scenes, just like it happened w Wild at Heart :)

YES!!!

After seeing the deleted scenes from Wild at Heart and Blue Velvet, I'm that much more enthusiastic to see the missing scenes from Lost Highway (and obviously Fire Walk With Me).

I'd be happy if we got a proper DVD release of Lost Highway. The Focus Features release is absolute trash. Good luck getting through the US version if you happen to be hearing impaired,

It would be nice to have this on blu ray with deleted scenes. Now that FWWM deleted scenes are out, I believe that ANYTHING is possible!
