/dev/null Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 What are your favorite theatrical movie lines that get edited for content when shown on TV? I was watching Die Hard With A Vengence, and at the end Bruce Willis' classic line was edited to: Yippie Kay Yay My Friend
KD in CA Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 What are your favorite theatrical movie lines that get edited for content when shown on TV? I was watching Die Hard With A Vengence, and at the end Bruce Willis' classic line was edited to: Yippie Kay Yay My Friend I thought it was "Yippie Kay Yay Mr. Falcon"? Or was that Die Hard 2? When I become Emperor, that practice will be outlawed. If you need to edit out a word, just blank it out. Coming up with these stupid substitutions in terrible voices that don't match the orignial actors is just painful. Ever watch Pulp Fiction on basic cable?

Ever watch Pulp Fiction on basic cable? Ever watch a Kevin Smith movie on TV? Jay's real voice isn't heard throughout the entire movie.
DC Tom Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 The all-time great is in Lethal Weapon 4, when in the televised version Mel Gibson calls Jet Li "poopy pants".
Bullpen Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I just watched Goodfellas on regular TV yesterday... horrible!!! My favorite is from the Spike Lee movie "Do the Right Thing:" "You better get some mickey-fickey brothers on the wall, in this mickey-fickey joint!" Mickey-fickey...

jangalang Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Big Lebowski. Real line: You see what happens, Larry, when you *#!@ a stranger in the @$$ ?!?! Edited line: You see what happens, Larry, when you find a stranger in the Alps ?!?!
Ned Flanders Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Final line in Caddyshack. Rodney: "Hey everybody, we're all gonna take a shower!"
Hazed and Amuzed Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Big Lebowski. Real line: You see what happens, Larry, when you *#!@ a stranger in the @$$ ?!?! Edited line: You see what happens, Larry, when you find a stranger in the Alps ?!?! I think we all know what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps, the hard part is forgetting... Ain't that right Steely?

Thats literally what i was going to post when i saw the title of this thread.
buffaloboyinATL Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 The one I always remember when I was younger was in Smokey and the Bandit. When Buford T Justice says "I'm gonna Barbeque your ass in molasses", one of his funniest out of many funny lines, they poorly edited it to say "head" instead of ass. Stood out like a sore thumb.
buckeyemike Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 My favorite one ever is from Major League. When Roger Dorn goes to the mound in the playoff game, supposedly to confront Wild Thing about sleeping with his wife, Dorn says to the pitcher, "strike this m-----f----- out." In the edited version, he says "strike this guy out". What's funny is it sounds like three different people dubbed it. Dorn on the words "strike" and "out", another person on "this" and still another on "guy". Cracks me up every time I see it.
