Cut Scenes & Alternate
Versions
Due to censorship regulations, some scenes have been eliminated locally. In
Saudi
Arabia,
both shots of Fields semi-naked (with and without oil) were removed.
The following scenes were filmed but removed
from the final cut:
-
A shot showing Bond enjoying the end
of Tosca and straightening his tie.
- A moment where Fields was "feeling terrible" after
Mathis gives Bond the party invitation and notices what
they have been doing.
Original Ending
A scene showing Mr White's ultimate fate
and the identity of his superior was filmed and included
in early cuts to conclude the film.
Mentioned in the film
as one of the
Prime Minister's closest advisors, Guy Haines is also
a senior member of the shadowy organisation 'Quantum'.
007
discovers his presence during the Tosca opera scene where
Dominic Greene holds a meeting of Quantum members.
The
movie was originally intended to end with a one-minute
sequence where 007 introduces himself to Mr Haines at his
estate, setting up the next adventure. The gun-barrel sequence,
uniquely positioned at the end of "Quantum of Solace",
would have appeared after Bond dispatches Mr White for
good.
Shot over one day on location in London
on April 14th 2008, MI6 Declassified scored a still from
the cut
scene. It can be found on page 6 of issue #4 - now available
to order from www.mi6magazine.com |
