Problem Child (film) - Deleted Scenes

Deleted Scenes

These scenes were absent from the theatrical and home video versions of the film, but were present in TV airings on the USA Network and ABC Family:

• Junior talking to a nun prior to him being adopted.
• Martin Beck having a flashback before strangling the prison psychiatrist.
• The Healys' old lady neighbor insulting them for Fuzzball having gone to the bathroom in her flowers (this explains the scene later in the film where Ben drives his car over the flower bed when en route to rescue Junior from Beck).
• Junior drawing a picture of Ben whacking Roy with a frying pan.
• Junior piloting an RC helicopter to chase a paperboy and milkman (although cut from theatrical/home video airings, a picture from this scene appears on some home video boxes) and the helicopter ends its journey crashing through the glass panes on the breakfast nook French doors. Some evidence of this scene is in the VHS version, when Beck arrives at the Healys'.
• Ben making it look like the backpack has $100,000 in it.
• Beck calling Ben letting him know he has a half hour to come up with 100 grand if he wants to see his wife and kid again.
• Beck encounters a bearded lady at the circus, who claims she is an ex-girlfriend of his.
• Before Junior exits the house, Roy yells for Ben to hurry up.
• At the circus, one of Junior's old nuns spots Ben running around.
• In some television airings, the final scene where Flo looks out of the suitcase to see the pig's rear end is censored, or replaced by a scene of her looking to see a pig's face.
