Deleted Scenes
Scenes featuring Hugh Hefner during the black and white Newsreel segment of the Toxic Avenger IV were cut prior to its theatrical release due to a cease-and-desist order from Hefner's lawyers. Hefner was initially fine with appearing in the film but his lawyers ended up convincing him that he was unfairly coerced into being in the movie. During the "Special Thanks To" sequence of the final credits, there's a special "No thanks to Hugh Hefner's lawyers" credit.

Famous quotes containing the words deleted and/or scenes:
“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)
“O scenes of the beautiful world! Never have you presented yourself to more appreciative eyes.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
