No, you most certainly are NOT crazy! The filmmakers are crazy for leaving that smiling doll head out of the theatrical cut. That is an iconic shot! Thank you for divulging the differences here.
Whenever people ask me for a horror sequel that’s better than the original, I say Child’s Play 2. The best entry in the franchise.
SCREAM 2. HALLOWEEN II. PHANTASM 2. Lots of sequels better than their originals.
@@dustinhogle3844 I like the controversy with those choices.
Never seen the Phantasm movies but don't you insult the original Halloween and the original Scream 😂
Child's Play 2 is the reason I named the female lead in my comic book, Kyle.
@@josh043p6 the original HALLOWEEN isn’t even the best one out of the entire series 😌
Bruh I knew I wasn’t crazy just like the tv version of Child’s play 3 had added moments that I remember from my childhood
As I kid I was confused by seeing scenes of a movie on TV that wasn't in the vhs version but as an adult I understand the concept of deleted scenes.
The same thing happened to me with Superman: the Movie. Back in the late 80's to mid 90's I was convinced there was a scene before Superman enters Lex Luthor's underground lair where he had to go through a gauntlet of fire, ice and bullets. All my friends thought I was making it up, so naturally I started to think I had dreamed it. Years later they released the DVD with extra scenes added in to the film, and there it was, just like I had remembered it. I later learned that one TV station had the rights to the theatrical cut, while another station had the rights to the extended cut.
Warner Bros recently released the full 3 hr TV extended cut of Superman: The Movie on Blu-Ray (but without breaking it up into 2 sections and without the 3 minute 'remember what happened last night' recap...so now it plays like one continuous movie).
*I got the copy on DVD in 2001* 🙂
USA Network was notorious for adding deleted scenes and alternative takes, which made the movies way better. I miss those days.
You should do the USA Network tv cuts vid of both "Problem Child" movies.
Omg 2 of my favorite movies, both Bc I watched them on USA constantly as a kid. I taped both of them off of USA and TNT and know the tv versions by heart.
Facts I remember the scene from childs play 3 where colonel Cochran died and instead of chucky saying you gotta be f$&@ing kidding me he says you gotta be crazy kidding me I use to laugh so hard at that.
Child's Play 2 is the definitive Chucky movie imo and I am so disappointed that Shout Factory didn't have an extended cut version of the film in their recent 4k recent, feels like a huge missed opportunity. Also, in the extended cut of the foster parents talking as the husband is leaving for work, the camera pans over to one of the windows of the basement showing that Chucky had climbed out and that's how he was able to get to the school bus.
They showed that in this video...
@@billwenham Ah i may have not been paying attention when they showed that lol
I personally assumed Chucky escaped through window the fact you have to show every detail is quite insulting i mean seriously have some imagination but that's my opinion lol
@@eugenemoreno6206 I wouldn’t say it’s insulting it’s just the extended scene revealed information about Chucky escaping the basement and how he did. Now not having seen the tv cut if I never had watched it and only on my dvd and vhs where the scene is cut out… I wasn’t to surprised Chucky got on Andy’s bus. He’s Chucky. He’s a stalker and he’s small of course he could sneak out even through the same door he was thrown through after everyone went to bed.
@PINHEAD FAN i do have s serious request can you find and review the work print uncut Cobra movie Sylvester Stallone movie
Andy showing Chucky the middle finger was so memorable and laughable at the same time
*Kyle
I totally remember that ending...always creepped me out as a kid.
This happened to me with Ace Ventura 1. I watched that movie daily as a kid and saw it on TV once. The TV version added scenes where Ace was doing more indepth sleuthing to figure out where Finkle grew up. I even bought a DVD that claimed to have extended scenes and it was just the base film. 🤣
I never even knew there was a TV version of this. Pretty cool you cover TV versions of classics
Why? Who gives a %$%$?
i noticed right away but thats probably because i watched it everytime it was on TNT or USA and also the actual films from Blockbuster lol
@@theoneonly259 It is mildly interesting and amusing at times, that's why.
Just because that ending scene exists doesn't mean you're not crazy 😜
I remember on the USA TV version. The girl says "let's go home" and Andy goes "where is home?"
Heck yeah! I love these reviews of TV cuts and workprints.
Keep 'em coming Tony.
Thank you for being so awesome.
Wow! I’ve only seen the theatrical cut, now I REALLY want to watch the television cut.
that ending is frightfully good. shame they don't release the full cut of CP2
I remember the smiling head scene as well. They should of kept it.
I remember watching the alternative ending of child's play 2 on the USA network when I was a kid and it's different and good. 😀👍
Very interesting! I never realized there were so many extra scenes in the TV cut. I first saw this movie on TV and remembered feeling bad for the foster parents when they got killed. But when I revisited the film recently on Blu-ray, I was like, “Why did I ever feel bad for them? They’re kind of assholes.” Turns out my initial sympathy was probably due to those extra scenes with them in the TV cut.
Literally the USA ending is what I always remember !! It was such a thrill ! Like sneakily watching the tv version when I was little 😊
For those who grew up on streaming and not in front of the tv:
Supposedly Main version is an hour and a half, for tv versions of movies it takes 2 hour blocks most of the time regardless of run times and they always created tv versions and cuz the film company/director self censor and left in "extended" stuff so it could fill those 2 hours along with time commercials.
I use to hate these tv movie formats cuz they withheld the ending with multiple commercials near the end 😆
God, I remember staying up all night as a kid on weekends watching child’s play 1-3 whenever they were on and any other horror movie on USA or TNT. Now I’m 35 and pass out at 11 o’clock
The TV version of "Born in East LA" is almost the perfect version. The whole final act and payoffs are in the TV version. The theatrical/home media version is still good,but the final act of the TV version is way more satisfying,especially because the Paul Rodriguez/Jesus picture joke finally had a payoff.
Brother, too true!!! Growing up, only seen the TV cut. Then I rented it once to watch at a GFs with her family, because it's very tame compared to other "Mexican American" films 😅. Anyways, was very surprised to see a different final act, and that it wasn't as good.
@@zekeherrera157 right, the ending of the home media/theatrical version has a quick abrupt ending(they run down hill,come out of the sewer in LA,then all of a sudden they're on the float kissing.). The TV 1 shows everything that went down in between.
I wish that Scream Factory or Arrow Video could put out a Blu Ray consisting of the theatrical version and the TV version.
I never saw this version but I imagine it would make the beginning of part 3 confusing
I remember being miffed why there were certain scenes on the USA version but not on the VHS version. I’d love to see you discuss this horror franchise more down the line. Chucky is a true classic that never goes out of style.
This guys eye-bags are tremendous. Shows how much sleep he missed because he thought he made up those scenes.
I do remember this ending, and didn’t know it was only tv version that did it. Lol I like that it’s not in the original cut. I like the beginning of the third one with the James Bond-like swirl of the blood.
USA Network is known for having movies with added scenes. I remember Friday had some alternate and added scenes. The neighbor sprays water on some kids who sitting on his grass.
Also the movie "Problem Child" Remember?
I love these tv edit videos, please keep making them!!!!
My first real introduction to TV cuts was "Legend" and when it would air on TBS repeatedly in the early to mid 90's. The TBS broadcasts were the first times I had seen the movie and fell in love with it. Then when I got the VHS a couple years later I was confused that many scenes seemed to be missing or different. It wasn't until the DVD with the theatrical AND director's cut was released and the internet took off in the early 00's that the history of the first cut with a slightly different plotline and completely different soundtrack came to my attention and I had my OH, Ah HAH! moment. It's still perplexes me how tv stations were granted access to cutting room floor scraps and were seemingly given free reign to produce their own edits of films.
Bro I could kiss your face lmao 10 years...10 years I have been going nuts trying to figure out where I saw that alternate ending. Which movie it was from. I 100% had accepted I made it up in my head. And here u come, your glorious SOB and prove me right!!!! The damn tv version had the alternate ending. Thank you so much!!! My brain can finally make room for more useless info lmao
Oh my gosh! I had all of the child's play movies.. I was very young and they were all recorded on USA🤣
So when I became an adult and started seeing it on dvd.. I felt the same way you did.
Child's Play 2 is my absolute favorite of the entire series!
That USA Network promo, it was wonderful from my childhood, I WANT MORE:):) As much as I adore Justin Whalin's Andy and Billy Boyd/Beans' Glen, this movie is my favorite and the only one I would ever NEED from this franchise because of everything about it:) I've seen all of these scenes in a compilation and I WISH they were in the movie! Except for removing the obscenity on the paper and Kyle's one-liner...it reminds me of how the first two 'Problem Child's only had extra scenes in the TV versions but not the DVDs!
The Adoption mom is the nurse from American wearwolf in London.
I thought I was going crazy remembering that seeing that ending scene. I wish it was in the DVD.
Sweet! I wish we got an ultimate cut
I like the Milton figure on your desk. Holding onto that Swinline stapler for dear life!
4:34 The TV version was censored, it was rated TV-14 on USA Network, blood and swearing was removed, that’s why TV cut didn’t show the Andy’s paper. The uncut full version is rated TV-MA.
There was something like that with Trucks between the TV (where it originated) version, and the DVD version. There are about THREE kill scenes added that are cartoonishly ramped up, stupid, and gory. Two of them take place in and around the named areas, but are otherwise completely disconnected-- and the third one could literally be anyone anywhere. They were on the DVD I used to have, so while I don't remember the TV version anymore, I bet they weren't originally in it. All I really know is there was some discrepancy about it.
This happened to me with Superman 2. I watched the early 1980s version that was on ABC-TV. It wasn't until years later when I learned about the whole deal with the Donner cut scenes.
_Child's Play 3_ has the same situation... the old 90s TV version has some really solid scenes that were cut from the theatrical version (presumably for pacing). But what's even weirder is that there's a key moment I remember from the _Child's Play 3_ TV version that I can't find in any of the compilations of the TV footage. In the TV version, Tyler gives Andy a knife at the beginning of the movie and says something along the lines of "A good solider is always prepared."
But I distinctly remember the 90s TV version having Tyler repeat that line during the climax when he hands Andy the knife to cut off Chucky's hand ("Barclay! A good solider is always prepared!"). But it doesn't seem to exist anywhere other than my memory.
My favorite T.V. cut is the 3rd Child's Play movie. The censorship for the cursing makes it hilarious to me!
Lines like, "Where are ya you little SNOT!" and, "I said, 'You AIRHEAD' Sir!" lol
omg the smile at the end!!! I thought I was alone in remembering this forever!!! I used to love watching these on USA…I’m 39 for reference lol
I was always confused about the piece falling into the vat in CP2. Thanks for this dude.
“Was or the Mandela Effect?”
Me: “no it was the Mancini Effect”
When you realize the movie is 1 hour and 24 minutes I wish it was longer it's still my favorite out of the old ones
That's so to hear about this different version. That I'm aware of we don't get unique TV cuts here in Australia, although my childhood experience with horror movies was my cousin and I renting an overnight and 5 weekly VCR rentals XD
I must have seen this because I remember "play time is over".
I assumed it was in the theatrical version
Same thing with Matilda. There’s another version of the film where Ms Trunchbull twist Miss Honey’s wrist when she’s at her desk and makes a shh pain sound instead of when she’s standing up threatening to break her arm again.
The deleted scenes and alternate ending have always stuck with me since I saw them at 10. I wish they were present on digital releases! I also just realized from watching this that the TV version isn’t Pan and scan but open matte without the 1.85:1 crop….😮
Totally miss some of the old TV movie cuts. I remember the actor Jason Mewes in mallrats was overdubbed by a completely different actor. They removed all of the bad words, and added in a bunch of bad nonsense jokes
I remember listening to an interview where Don Mancini said he wanted chucky's blood getting into the new plastic to create a whole army of chuckys but they ended up scrapping the idea for childs play 3. so glad he got to explore that idea with cult of chucky!!
Networks paid studios to air movies on TV. Part of the deal is making sure the TV edit was still long enough to fit in the 2 hour slot with commercials.
The ending was such a goddamn fever dream man, I remember having a near-AVGN/Berenstain Bears existential crisis at one point trying to find it, I was starting to come to terms with being from another dimension and then I finally found the clip on CZcams 😅
I had this Recored on a VHS
Of a Halloween Marathon on the USA channel and i had this cut. Idk why i liked the TV cut version of this film its horror but wholesome at the sametime. Without all the cussing but also gotta love the theater cut
Your take on the mandala effect made me laugh out loud.
Love your content mummy Cop
I remember none of these scenes...but then I saw it in theatres and rented the vhs back in the day, I never saw the tv version
When I was a kid, We had Sci-Fi and I remember knowing about Chucky but I didnt know about the movie being called Childs Play and I clicked on it on Sci-Fi one day and man I loved it so much, I had to keep it turned down so my Gma wouldnt hear me watching it, But I remember it'd always be on there atleast once a month
This was an amazing video 🔥 Child’s Play 2 and Halloween 2 will forever be my favorite horror sequels 🔪🎯🎥
I have never seen the TV cut before I didn't know about any of this. I would love to see some of these scenes put into the theatrical version not gonna lie.
Appreciate this video man. This stuff is right there with Trivia on IMDb..I ❤️that 💩! Oh and just have to say in our early 30's(we're now 41), my lady and I met when we just happened to come into each other's lives and she wound up leaving her husband for me. She was never faithful to anyone in her life til we met. So yea, if you're gonna cheat, make sure it's worth it first!😉👍
Great video Tony...
It would be cool to talk about the unrated version (which is the director's preferred cut) and the workprint cut of The Punisher (1989) - the pre MCU Marvel one with Dolph Lundgren (the workprint cut is very interesting because has an entirely different extended opening, longer action stunt sequences that shows more of Dolph doing a lot of his own stunts and slightly different ending, with lots of temporary music from other films played throughout the movie, from First Blood, Leathal Weapon, Runaway, Aliens & The Terminator, because at the time the workprint was put together, there was no orginal music soundtrack recorded yet when the film was first being put together as a workprint...it does creates some unintentional laughs though when The Punisher wipes out a lot of bad guys with the Rambo theme playing in the background, lol...Umbrella Entertainment - an Australian releasing company put out a DVD & Blu-Ray, region free, that has all 3 versions - theatrical, unrated & workprint included. Last I checked it was still reasonably priced on Amazon and eBay).
And it would be neat if you talk about the TV extended cut of National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 (the 1993 spoof film with Emilio estevez family Jackson Tim Curry & William Shatner). It has a lot of deleted funny scenes and even some celebrity cameos that never made it into the final theatrical version nor are they on the VHS, DVD & Blu-Ray either (only on the TV cut).
I'd love to hear your thoughts on these two films and their various versions.
Keep these types of videos coming. Love 'em ✌️
For the longest time I thought I had imagined a bunch of these scenes too
Thank you for clearing that up, definitely remembered that ending.
When I first saw this ending as a kid, it was really scared me. Because this shot of Chucky reminded me of Michael Myers with the pitch black eyes.
Guys good news there is a Disney opening where tinker bell dots the i. I own and still do own a DVD that has it. The reason people think it's a false memory is because it's only on certain dvd's
These are some of my favorite videos you guys do
Great job Tony and the crew! We aren't crazy!! 🙌
i remember that chucky 2 ending also, in fact, it's the only version i've seen. always like these videos
50k subs! Man i remember it having like 10k i was thinking: soon this wonderful channel is gonna blow up. Happy to see it grow!
I remember Billy Madison confusing me with the kickball scene thats only in the TV version
I remember lots of scenes being cut from the DVD versions of Kickboxer compared to the TV version.
Reminds me of the tv cut of The Blob remake. I remember as a kid when Eddie gets blobbed all you see is a skeleton rather than a half melted kid. Still can't find that clip, but IMDb tells me it was real!
I was in the opposite camp. I grew up knowing the theatrical version. My parents were a little loose with the movies I was able to watch as a child, so traditionally, we rented a movie, taped it using 2 VCRs, and had a copy to keep.
A few years later, my buddy insisted that we see Chucky get resurrected at the end of Child's Play 2. I told him he was wrong... until I watched it on USA. Wild.
Apparently, the original plan was to have multiple Chucky's in Child's Play 3, but they did not have the budget for it so that got scrapped.
Anyway, I tool this alt ending for CP2 and made a theory that there was an unseen movie as a result.
Enjoy.

You need to do one of my favorite TV cuts, the extended directors cut of needful things. it has 1h10m of scenes the director had to cut, making the characters stories easier to follow, introduces others that just show up out of nowhere, puts some scenes back in their proper places like them having things before they actually get them, etc.
That last scene! I remember it too and I kept wondering why i didn’t see it anymore.
Awesome video! I was also at monster mania. I met all the elm street cast that was there.
i wish they would come out with the tv cut on dvd
Such a great poster too!
Tony, please talk about the TV cut of Torque (2004 film with Ice Cube) I saw it all the time on TBS and just laughed at all the cuss words they replaced with hilarious stuff no one would say
I really like these videos that show extra details that were cut from movies. Nicely done mate!
Please do a TV cut for Stephen King's Graveyard Shift if you can find it. I remember different stuff in that.
Could have sworn I remembered some scenes that had actually been scenes I really liked that were just gone
sort of like me remembering a nightmare on elm street 3 having a instrumental during its opening scene and the dvd changed it to a band singing into the fire. but the NM3 that is correct for me has the instramental
I've been wanting to see this version again for a long time.
Keep doing more of these type of videos. Would love to get a video of the work print of Jason goes to hell
I swear in seed of chucky when he breaks throught the hospital door I remember him saying here's Chucky
Don’t recall ever seeing this. I came to Chucky kind of late (between #3 and Bride IIRC) and just rented them from the video store until I bought them.
This is the content I needed today
I remember those seeds well. And I love the mandella effect comment. It really is people mis-remembering things
Weird. I legit only remember the theatrical cut. Anytime I saw it on tv as well, it was always the theatrical cut. Cool to know about all the extra scenes though.
Well that explains so much cause I remember a lot of those scenes and that ending
i have seen a tv cut ehere the digitaly replace the words on the paper in the classroom, but i can't remember what it said
This is like the Born in East LA Comedy Central cut.
Your channel rules.
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy TONY
I remember the TV version more than anything lol
I had a similar thing with the original superman movie on British tv. Turned out we had the extra long version with more krypton and the gauntlet scene.
childs play has an alternate ending with chucky landing face down instead of face up on the giant fan
