I love the original "Hairspray" movie ! I remember going to see it TWICE at a local multiplex when it was first released. Thanks for uploading this fascinating "behind the scenes" look at its production. Interesting that in this footage we see a scene being filmed of Amber (Colleen Anne Fitzpatrick) being spanked by her dad (the late Sonny Bono) but there's no such scene in the finished film. Guess it "ended up on the cutting room floor" as the old saying goes.

After all that shit Amber does to Tracy and everyone else, it's very cathartic to see!

[@jdh6752]

Yes, we also see Tracy wearing an outfit which doesn't appear in the film. The scenes which have been cut are Tracy breaking into the Von Tussle home, rifling through Amber's belongings and then bleaching her hair in Amber's bathroom (this is why she suddenly has blonde hair at the audition later that day). Amber is getting spanked for messing up her room, although it was actually Tracy.

Weird that they introduce the antagonist character before Tracy Turnblad

It's one of my favourite movies of all time and I saw it at the cinema when it came out. I never went to see the 2007 version - maybe I should have. My real name is "Linc", so I had something in common with one of the characters. What's interesting is that in 1988 that era seemed as far away, as it still does today. Mainly because I think the culture changed so much, where as the culture hasn't changed as much since the 80s.

The 2007 version is absolutely worth it, if not for the songs alone. John waters also cameos in it.

A must see on DVD or on demand! You won’t believe how fantastic it is, It just a different vision of the same story! 😀
