Kiefer Sutherland is sharing details about a deleted scene from The Lost Boys that was “a bit too violent and gross,” to be included in the final cut of the 80s classic.
Sutherland went on to say that he was really looking forward to the scene making it in the movie, but director Joel Schumacher had other plans and decided to cut it out. Read on…
CelebNMovies247.com reports that Kiefer Sutherland was really looking forward to the scene making it in the movie, but it was Schumacher who decided against it.
The Lost Boys deleted scene that was too crazy, alluded to being in the final cut, says Kiefer Sutherland. Though, there have been deleted scenes from the iconic horror movie to come out over the last few years, but nothing like this one.
Sutherland had this to say about the “too violent and gross” scene that didn’t make the final cut of The Lost Boys:
There was a scene that actually didn’t make the movie that I was really, really excited about, mainly because it was just so violent I couldn’t believe that we were doing it. It’s sort of in the movie – they cut around it – but there was a guy on a beach and he was bald and they had made a prosthetic cast of his head. And the part of the scene that I loved the most was literally, it was like a cake: I ate the whole back of his head off and blood just went everywhere. I had been directed to just smile like a child having cake, and the two images were so frightening and scary.
Kiefer also touched The Lost Boys edgy soundtrack, which he refers to as, “one of the first ones,” in terms of a package deal. Hits from INXS, Roger Daltrey, Echo and the Bunnymen covering The Doors, and more are included on the famous soundtrack. As a result of the style of the movie and soundtrack, it created its own thing, which holds up today.
He explains to Yahoo:
Stylistically it made a real imprint at the time and it has stood the test of time, and that’s a real tribute to Joel Schumacher. The soundtrack too was really innovative, and it was trying to teach the film industry that music can help you not only make your film great, but it can help you sell it and it can work as a partner with you. And that was a really exciting time.
The Lost Boys soundtrack did launch a ton of imitators and is just as praised as the movie these days.
The vampire classic starred Kiefer Sutherland Corey Feldman and the late Corey Haim, Jason Patric, Jami Gertz, Dianne Wiest, and Alex Winter.
