The Pie Fight Ending of Dr. Strangelove

[@baylenlucas8923]

He cut the ending because gentlemen shouldn't fight in the war room

[@Screwby_Jones6200]

I bet he has never seen such behavior in a War Room as he did that day😂

[@collegeman1988]

Yeah, they shouldn’t fight in the war room. Someone could get hurt!

[@TheCuthere]

One of the best lines of any movie “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!”

[@SilasWilson-zn4sv]

Us Gentle should learn how to behave in the War Room!

[@drakedyer7884]

For the 60th Anniversary, they should make a 4K release and add the pie ending as an extra. I’d pay to see it. Dr. Strangelove is without a doubt my favorite movie of all time

[@applescruff1969]

He mentions in the video that Kubrick's estate apparantly needs approval everytime it's shown, which means there's probably some kind of weird issue preventing them from including it in any home video releases, sadly.

[@robertreynolds1044]

There is a 4K release, I own it. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.

[@TheCuthere]

“Mein Fuhrer, I can walk!!”

[@aidanmercer9422]

That pie fight would’ve been an absolute banger to watch. 🤣🤣🤣

[@laserfloyd]

There's an amazing pie fight scene in The Great Race (Jack Lemmon / Tony Curtis / Natalie Wood). It came out in 65, just a year after this movie. That's kind of hilarious as far as timing goes. I read it was something like 4000 pies and they alone cost $18k. It's a hilarious scene. 😂 I'd love to see the Dr. Strangelove scene though!

[@MrMG-il5hv]

They need to make this ending some kind of DVD bonus because the ending does sound hilarious but obviously cannot be in the main film

[@hoogyoutube]

Don't stop producing.

[@ToastersChannel]

You are a very kind person! That means a lot. I got some good stuff cooking up, hope you will enjoy those :)

[@EnigPartyhaus]

It would have made more sense to cut out the "struck down" comment, retain the pie fight since the smiling can be accounted to everyone in the room snapping and just have the nuclear blast scene go off right as Strangelove's luger fires

[@dans9463]

To lighten up the ending, it was a pie in the sky idea.

[@Cyba_IT]

A shame as I love a good food fight. It would've definitely been a bit more of a light-hearted ending for a comedy rather than showing the real bombs which was pretty terrifying, even if they were basically losing their minds due to the world coming to an end.

[@SeptemberManHey]

That is the point of cutting it I believe. The pie fight is a joke because we should by ourselves understand the ridiculous contrast pushed very far this time of people deciding of the fate of the human race while being absolutely childish. I think he believed a good chunk of people would not understand that and solely use it as comic reflief for themselves. In contrary, the matter of the death of 95% of the world population should mostly be treated as a serious matter wouldn't you agree ? At the opposite, almost all of the politicians being able to put us in a similar situation are very much complete jokes as human beings. The reason why the film is a comedy first and foremost or maybe even as unique reason.

[@GrantTarredus]

Fascinating. Thank you!

[@JohnMiller-zr8pl]

And how many we'll never have the opportunity to see...

[@JoeCorneli]

Right up there with the death ending in "Clerks"

[@moviesgalore9947]

The footage of this scene has to be in a vault somewhere I don't think it was destroyed and I have wanted to see it for decades since I first read about it the photos in this video are great now if only someone at the studio will find the actual scene it will be wonderful to see it after all this time.

[@derrekmorgan1940]

I wish the pie fight would had made it to the final cut that with the bombs going off and the song all together it would had made it even more surreal but I sure Stan had his reasons for not including it a brilliant movie like fail safe on mescaline

[@PyroShadow117]

hey, thanks for making this, I knew of some of this, but I didn't know all the info, think I'll stick around (but I think the best end may have been a combo of the 2 endings)

[@ToastersChannel]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@joker3092]

I had seen the pictures of the pie fight before, they've been around for awhile, but I was unsure if the footage still exists anywhere, if it is in the British film archives they still have to get permission from his wife, she runs the estate.

[@thebowler5506]

I can only hope and pray to whatever is out there that one day, the footage of this alternate ending will become available to public viewing

[@doct0rnic]

So the scene where he tackles the ambassador is actually at the end?

[@robertreynolds1044]

You left out the final line he says after the steps, "Mein Fuher,I can walk!".My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.

[@abneryokum]

What a dreadful ending that would have been.

[@robertreynolds1044]

Another thing changed because of the Kennedy assassination was when Major Kong (Slim Pickens at his best),when he reads off the survival kit contents check, with the cash,gold,and stockings,he originally said that "A feller could have a pretty good time in Vegas", but he originally said "Dallas".You can tell when you watch his mouth. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.

[@HC-cb4yp]

Is there anything less funny than a pie fight? It would be like having Star Trek actors breaking into song...

[@ItsHerbertBitch]

Does anyone knows which music he was about to use for this scene?

[@applescruff1969]

I'm glad this was cut. This movie's mostly realistic, and a Three Stooges-esque pie fight just seems ridiculous, even when considering that this is a comedy.

[@sclogse1]

I like the low fi music in the background.

[@jassford6491]

where did you get the click sound effect from 1:39-1:40

[@criminologystudent1nvestig523]

Wow! I cannot believe it. Why have I never heard about this? It's a terrible idea in my view better how it is but I always think that.

[@jasckon7994]

FT= fort GA = Georgia

[@davidg-ig8vj]

I'm so glad they dropped this alternate ending. It looks really dumb and would have detracted from the genius of the rest of the film. I find it difficult to imagine how it could even have been considered. The dropping of this scene is probably the only good thing to come of President Kennedy's assassination.

[@765kvline]

I agree. The blatant slapstick conclusion would have significantly clashed with the satirical menace of the main movie theme. Also, I don't know how you could have properly scored music for this portion without pouring insult on the remainder of the movie's low-key but sober musical score?
