I was watching the Youtube video, Yesterworld 5 movies with lost and destroyed scenes. It mentioned the deleted scene from the end of Dr Strangelove where there was a pie fight. Apparantly Kubrick asked for all unused footage to be destroyed after his death but the BFI allegedly screened the pie fight version. Is this true? Also could and detroyed Kubrick exist in other forms in TV archives?

The unintended consequence of which was a delay to the start of the Barry Lyndon screening (aka The NFT's Great Barry Lyndon Disaster of 1999). I know because I was that cinema-goer.... |

Does anyone know if the unused original ending of 2001 survived until Stanley Kubrick’s death?

I only ever heard it talked about as non-existant in making-ofs etcetera. Strange that it should have been shown. Are there reliable sources for that?

The Laurel and Hardy pie-fight finally surfaced, so who knows? www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHY5SM0YFv0I'm still waiting for the one between Gertrude and Hamlet in Olivier's version. "Sweets to the sweet". |

I heard Stanley Kubrick often had props & sets destroyed after production ended so they couldn't be re-used in other films.
I presume footage was given similar treatment though some of the spare mountain aerial shots from The Shining were used on the original edit of Blade Runner.

I still hope the original ending of 2001 surfaces as it was apparently only cut against Kubrick’s wishes to reduce running time. It would be counter intuitive that he would order something to be destroyed that he preferred in the original “directors cut” form.

There is a terribly painful story on - I think - Danny Baker's old Treehouse site from someone who lived near Borehamwood in the 70s and walked past the local waste ground where the Space Station model had been ignominiously dumped. Of course the Discovery had to be completely recreated for the sequel - hopefully they've kept it since. |

Not surprising by still very sad. All that hard work wasted. Local museums would have bitten their hand off.

I heard some of the sets from The Shining were destroyed in a fire at the studios before they could be dismantled.
It was a shame Kubrick was such a perfectionist & so many amazing sets & props were binned after he had finished with them.

From the official documentation I've seen on Facebook, the negative for the pie fight sequence was given to the BFI by Columbia Pictures around 1965.

There are some shorter lengths in the catalogue... But then why has it never been used anywhere? Would it hurt Kubrick's memory if it an extra on the DVD/BR? |
