Louis and the muggers...

Or was it scrapped before cameras started rolling? If it was filmed, hopefully it'll be on the new release.

If there are set pictures (like the ones you posted) that's pretty much the proof that it was filmed. Otherwise it would just be storyboarded. They're not going to go through all the effort of lighting the scene and then just go "nah, everyone go home for the day."

I doubt THIS will be in there, but hey...it's worth a look-see.

Interesting scene. I bet it was cut because they already had the scene of Louis with the horse drawn carriage driver.

It's supposedly set in a tunnel in Central Park, but it could easily be a tunnel somewhere in Los Angeles.

The mugging scene was indeed filmed, and Rick Moranis was even wired up to assist post production special effects.

Unfortunately the scene was cut very early in post production for pacing reasons and the visual effects required to complete the scene were never made.

Sadly, to the best of my knowledge, no rough footage has ever seen the light of day since post production.

What I wouldn't give to see an uncut version of the film - i.e. as written per the final draft.

Whoa... is this the actual Don Shay commenting in this thread?

Author of Making Ghostbusters? And two really in-depth articles for Cinefex on the GB films?

Awesome.

What a knockabout of pure fun that was!
