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)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
