Payback (1999, Mel Gibson) trailer contains a scene not in theatrical release. The main poster for the movie shows Mel Gibson in a scene which never made it to theatrical release either.
Usually I avoid trailers. It's marketing, spoilers, trying to sell you the movie. For me, they might be clever, but that's all. The Payback trailer is clever because it has no dialog...

Drama behind the scenes on Payback saw the director fired by the studio and replaced, a completely new ending written and shot.
Normally when studios mess with the writing, the film suffers, but not in this case. The theatrical release of Payback is better than the "director's cut" released on video a few years later. The director's cut has a boring ending, just generic gun fights and a mess of scenes. The theatrical release has a good twist, more substance and style.
- ataturk 8y agoHave you seen the original version of Payback with Lee Marvin? I think the remake is better and you're right about the remake's director's cut, but that cut was interesting nonetheless because it didn't have the monologue to hand hold the viewer.
