Beetlejuice’s backstory makes sense. Otho says that people who commit suicide become “civil servants in the afterlife”. If you watch the movie, all of the workers in the afterlife offices killed themselves. The receptionist slit her wrists. The flat man threw himself into traffic. Poisoned typists. Juno slit her own throat. There’s a mail clerk hanging from a rope. Etc. Juno says Beetlejuice used to work for her before going “freelance”. That makes Beetlejuice a suicide.

I would speculate that his cause of death changed for the movie too. We see him in a cab drivers hat. I think he got drunk and purposely drove his cab into the water. I think all of the ghosts in the film look like they did when their bodies were found. That’s why he looks mossy and pale. His wasn’t found for a while. The Maitlins also die in water but they look healthy. Their bodies were probably recovered quickly because their accident happens in daylight in a small town.

Without missing a beat he laughed and said he's never been to Saturn and then told me he had just walked to the trash can at the end of our driveway out front to throw something away. I was very impressed he completely understood the reason for which I would ask such a stupidly absurd question.

I think I know why Jane was always wanting to sell the house. Real estate agents make their money on commissions (at least here in the States). So if she lives in a small town, the turnover may be low. And she may not have a huge inventory. So reselling the same house works just as well as sell any other house. Beetlejuice 2 could have been her and Beetlejuice working together to haunt houses. He chases out the current residents. And she sells to the new residents.
@ThePlayTyperGuy10 ай бұрын
I have interpreted the “they were family” line literally as it makes a lot of other stuff make sense. Jane couldn’t just sell the Maitland house just because they suddenly died. But if she were related to them and it was a family home, it’s certainly possible. The Maitlands also tolerant Jane in a way that reads as “annoying family member who is also a real estate agent and wants to sell their house” than it does just “annoying real estate agent,” who you’d tell to GTFOH eventually.

How neat to see all of the deleted scenes! I agree they should have left the scene of Adam and Barbara hanging out of the window for more context and the scene where Barbara riding the sandworn was more of a plan than circumstance. Beetlejuice is one of my favorite movies. I've loved it since first seeing it as a child back around 1990. I'm really glad they made the changes they did because if they had kept it dark and gruesome, I never would have seen it as a child and never would have desired seeing it as an adult. Tim Burton's playful goth creativity combined with the humor throughout make the movie so enjoyable and memorable all these years later.

Here in the US real estate agents get huge commissions for selling houses. She’s money hungry.

Here's a good idea for future TOP 10 video: *"Jurassic Park: The Versions You've Never Seen"* The original script by Michael Crichton himself was closer to his novel, but a big difference was that John Hammond isn't the cold-hearted businessman as he was in the book nor was he a "jovial mad scientist" as he was in the final film. He was somewhere in the middle, but he did cared enough for his grandkids to distract the Velociraptors that were chasing Tim & Lex Murphy by loudly activating the Visitor Center's Tour Program, resulting in him getting a heroic death. Meanwhile, the 2nd script draft by Malia Scotch Marmo - after Michael Crichton & before David Koepp's final drafts - had Ian Malcolm absent in the story (with his role being giving to Alan Grant & Donald Gennaro); Robert Muldoon & the park staff using a flamethrower on the plants as they growing in a fast rate; the Raptor Pen was just a big hole with a electric mesh on top (like in Disney's *"HERCULES");* and John Hammond gets a pathetic death where he stayed on his island (seeing it as his "Garden of Eden"), only to trip on a slope and fell face first into a tiny puddle, resulting in him dying and a mosquito sucks on his blood.

I always have a hard time recognizing Alec Baldwin as Adam. His appearance has changed a lot in the last 35 years.

I hope the actual Beetlejuice sequel is as good as the original, while being its own thing without needing to always go back to the original during the movie just to prop it up.

Some of these changes could've STILL been used, like the barber being in the waiting room. I'd like to see him bending Beetle juice's ear for a century or two while HE'S waiting to see Juno. Also, the missing Deetz daughter, might've been an Easter Egg in this film to see her in the netherworld, or, seeing her, haunting the Deetzes, at a later point.

one of several movies, where the original script had a LOT of it tossed, and what we ended up with, was the Gold Standard. Just like original Ghostbusters,, Dan Akroyd had some really "out there' ideas.. space aliens, n such, that morphed into the Ghostbusters we got.. Beetlejuice is perfect... ive seen it 2 doz times.. and it JUST KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER,,,,, EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> !!!!!!! hehehehe

I would greatly appreciate it if they did a remake that is a blend between old and new: Kathy, Lydia’s death, perverted demon Beetlejuice and Juno

Oh, Jane... Babs' older sister, the realtor? The high-strung, neurotic twit, back-handed compliments... Her personality became hilarious, looking back with an adult perspective. She could have been a character in "Schitt's Creek"!

Where is it mentioned that they are sisters?
@catherineklabouch6872 Жыл бұрын
@ashesbaby266 it was moreso heavily implied and telegraphed through their dialog. Also: "They were family, I was devastated."

I don’t think she literally meant they were blood relatives I think she just meant that they were close, which was oblivious BS to sell her credibility as a realtor

That earlier version actually doesn't seem all that bad. Too bad we didn't get to see it. I'd have liked to have seen both.
