It’s Sunday! It’s no secret that I love this film. Watching Planes, Trains & Automobiles every Thanksgiving day has long been a tradition in my house. As with any movie, there’s always content that gets changed or altogether cut from the final theatrical release. However, in this mini-documentary it’s revealed that John Hughes’ original cut of the film was 3 1/2 hours long! Copies of the original script confirm that there was a remarkable amount of footage cut just to get the runtime under 2 hours. That means there’s more cut footage than what made it into the actual movie! So where is all this lost footage? This mini-documentary by Hats Off Entertainment looks to find out.
