Every Which Way But Loose/Any Which Way You Can on DVD

[Coogan]

KC,

Thanks for that very interesting post.

I am not too pleased about it been cut out of the DVD though.

So whats the deal here... the uk dvd version is THE version that went out in Cinemas back in the late 60's.. Then , some time later when it turns up on tv Universal supply the stations with extra scenes so's it fits into their schedules better....

Have I got this right ?

I gotsta know  ?

Sure you've got it right.  They used to do this with movies quite a bit.  Fit in extra adds... cut a scene.  Remove a piece due to unacceptable TV content...replace it with another scene.  etc. etc.
I don't know if it is still a common practice.

Wow..... I never knew this.... Sure I knew they cut scenes to fit in the ad breaks etc.. but I never realised that they had access to scenes that never made the final cut....

Well, ya live and learn huh...

Does this mean that the scenes with Clint back with his kids (who looked after them while he was away anyway ?) in Unforgiven, might turn up on channel 5 some day when they got some spare minutes to fill....

I take on board what KC says about the extra scenes but I can imagine Siegel possibly having to film that first extra scene and viewing it at dalies and thinking "Does the paying audience really want to hear about the price of windsheids". I always thought that was a feeble reason for sending him. He would have thought "Lets get him to NY". The film runs just under 90mins so the extra scenes could have always been part of the film. I think we have Siegel's version as a theatrical version and for tv (as usual) the studio can do what it wants.
Gant ,
Coogan has always been shown uncut on UK tv and always without the tv version scenes.

You can have the best of both worlds. I have a Technicolor theatrical print and straight after the end of the film follow the  tv version scenes.

I got both "Every Which Way" & "Any Which Way" DVDs through the letter box this morning, so guess what I will be watching tonight with a few ice cold beers

Enjoy .

Well I must say both movies are superb, great quality & great sound

Fantastic  

Plus.....  it's the first time I've seen the rattle snake bit in "Any Which Way You Can", I can't remember ever seeing that clip.

Hi Coogan,

Well as I said unless you were around and renting the original release video then you won't have seen it.

Even I was fairly young in 82!!
