In the UK version of Bee Movie, a large amount of the bathroom scene was cut. Only a camera recording of a computer screen has surfaced of the scene unfortunately. https://www.reddit.com/r/beemovie/comments/r1h5ay/the_scene_where_ken_sprays_the_air_freshener_and/

I've heard 24 was meant to be a romantic comedy about marriage for reasons unfathomable to the human mind. They eventually went with a concept that sounded less niche with its 24-hour real-time crime drama escapades. Even still, it's not as cool or funny as 25.

The fact that Deadly Friend (1986) wasn't meant to be straight horror film, but instead a dark romantic film between Paul and Samantha with the violence being very mild. It got butchered in post-production when it received poor test audience reactions from fans of Wes Craven's previous works (especially A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Warner Bros. forced him to add blood and more violence to the film. The very confused tone the final film has between the already shot scenes (as it was already very light-hearted compared to Craven's previous works and seemed to focus more on developing the characters) and the newly shot scenes (with the aforementioned blood and gore and any attempts at character development are abandoned) is a result of executive meddling.

One notable altered scene from Wes Craven's vision (that is present in the film's theatrical trailer) is how Samantha kills the old elderly neighbor Elvira. In the original version of the scene, Samantha kills Elvira by breaking into her house, surprises her and kills her by smashing her into the front door. The theatrical cut (and the version released on home video), however, has Samantha kill Elvira with a basketball that she stole from the teens earlier and she just literally stands there screaming while letting Samantha kill her.

Honestly, I think the original cut could be a less tonally confused mess and a more coherent film than the version that Warner Bros. decided to release, but at the same time we will lose one of the most unintentionally hilarious death scenes in a horror movie ever made.

Weirdly enough there was actually a short-lived sitcom that aired in 2006 called Big Day that kinda did the original planned concept of 24 as it showed the events of a wedding day split up into 13 episodes with each one taking place over the course of an hour. Wonder if that took inspiration from the original concept of 24?

I heard the original Amazing Spider Man film got changed a lot during reshoots, like there are hints in the trailer of the original version with the line "did you think what happened to you was an accident?" said to Peter, implying that him becoming Spider-Man was actually planned by someone and not just a random accident. Definitely interested to find the original script for that film to see what was changed.
