This workprint scene in the facility features an extra shot of the barrels after they have fallen on the soldiers not seen in the released movie.
These made me laugh so much! Great stuff!!!
Boris’s demise was an SFX shot so I suspect it hadn’t been completed when this was assembled.
If the 006 head shot is in there (which I’d love to see) then I would imagine a few other censorship cuts are as well:
•When Xenia shoots the workers at the Severnya station, there were originally several more shots of the people being killed.
•Xenia's death was trimmed. The shot of her choking was longer.
•The rabbit punch by Bond on Xenia is missing, but this was because of the BBFC, not the MPAA. The BBFC objected to it and Martin Campbell saw no need in making two versions of the scene for the US and UK, so it was cut from both.
There also might be an alternate version of Bond knocking out Xenia in the car as that was reshot, unless it is the rabbit punch mentioned above.
This alternative version of Dr No is certainly a massive curiosity as these additions didn’t show up when Lowry restored the original negative in 2004.
As with FRWL and GF, it seems that censorship cuts were permanently made to the negative and are now lost forever.
For this to exist, I wonder if UA gave Fox a print based on a IP that was struck before the negative was altered. Its subsequently possible that print was ditched by MGM-Pathe exec’s in the late 80’s:

Did the FRWL workprint still contain the jump cut on the gondola? Or any of these cuts?:

Those ’82 tapes might now be the only existence of Dr No uncut- for the sake of film preservation someone must find a way of digitally converting it!
I'm usually pretty good at saving off clips from YouTube, this time I didn't as both were only a few seconds and that's a shame as it was the only evidence.
The unused gunbarrel where Dalton made a jump??? Never heard about this?? Do you have a copy to upload please?
•During the pre-credit sequence, when 006 is shot, originally one clearly saw the impact to the head, but this has now been deleted
•The sex scene with Xenia making out with the admiral and eventually suffocating him has been much reduced.
•Bond's rabbit punch on Xenia during a car ride was moved offscreen
•The Severnaya hijack sequence was also cut with numerous shots removed of the workers being gunned down by Xenia.
•Furthermore, Xenia's death was also toned down; originally her body was seen writhing against the tree for longer, before her back breaks with a crack and she slumps dead. The slump, sans sound effect, is all that remains.
•When Trevelyan turns over after falling from the dish, the shot showing his bloodied face and a trickle of blood running oozing from his mouth was shortened.
See? This is why I need to see it.
A lot of die-hard fans want to see it, need to see it, feel they have a god given right to see it... but it ain't happening.
It's highly unlikely it will happen through official channels like a Blade Runner release, that would mean a collector will have to leak but those that have it aren't leaking, their actually distancing. Presumably the originator had ties to the production/studio or knew someone that did and that puts them into a difficult position. Things got messy in the early 90's with the TLD workprint - EON tried hard to take it out of circulation. A repeat of this is perhaps why we're not seeing it yet.
Maybe after the passing of time, and I mean like a couple of decades when the film is older and people care less, it might find a way out.
Here's some TLD scenes:
Does someone still have a copy of Alec shooting the scientist in the GE workprint? The video from 2 years ago has been removed from YouTube.
That TLD workprint is interesting. The gunbarrel is brutal. Who thought that was a good idea? I'm surprised John Glen didn't put a pigeon in there...
Here, there are a full report on the 007 deleted scenes, and there are the scientist : http://www.commander007.net/orbis/goldeneye/
But overall, it have been nice footage as extra kind of behind scene's feature or been at as delete/Extented scene's on SE dvd. Something for future BD release.
English, dude. That ain't it.
From Gavin Salkeld
The BBFC also shortened Xenia's orgasm, with her cries of Yes! Yes! reduced to just two in the final edit, with one cry being lost in the process.
I got the edit from the GoldenEye article on melonfarmers.co.uk, I recommend this article to you so you can learn about the BBFC and MPAA cuts. Cutting Edge is said on Facebook to be doing GoldenEye and should be out next year.
Cutting Edge is also doing Hard Target later this year. You should see more news about upcoming features from their Facebook page.
The John Woo directed Van Damme film? I like the theatrical version that's readily available, but I would have to buy any workprint/alternate cut if made available.
Me too
