Deleted Scene
The American Photojournalist features heavily in scenes deleted from the finished film. In the black market 'Rough Cut', he has a number of extra scenes as the length of the film set at Kurtz's compound rises to about an hour. In the 'Rough Cut', Willard tries unsuccessfully to ask him for his name, and he makes numerous other appearances including a scene where Willard is humiliated and taunted by the entire tribe while in a cage. His eventual fate is also revealed; as he prepares to finally leave the compound, he is gunned down by Colby because he had taken Colonel Kurtz's picture, something Kurtz had already threatened him over.

Famous quotes containing the words deleted and/or scene:
“There is never finality in the display terminal’s screen, but an irresponsible whimsicality, as words, sentences, and paragraphs are negated at the touch of a key. The significance of the past, as expressed in the manuscript by a deleted word or an inserted correction, is annulled in idle gusts of electronic massacre.”
—Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)
“The poem of the mind in the act of finding
What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
