this is one of the great debates that never got solved....anyone have a screenshot yet.

Another one I heard of are a few scenes in Jurassic Park that many fans swear are in the film. One being Ellie Sattler grabbing the leaf (which is in the trailer) and Hammond assuring Donald Gennaro that the Brachosaur eats "plants, not lawyers."

the one that is in the trailer actually does exist though, bc it is in the trailer. like in hollow man, the scene where Elisabeth Shue snaps the sheet and throws it out to see if he Bacon is there. its in the trailer, but not the movie, but no one can deny the existence of the scene.
No one has ever produced the still from FBDO, so we still have no proof that it has ever existed.

That scene with Cameron at the swimming pool playfully checking out Sloane was definitely in the original non sell-thru (rental) UK VHS.

I was working in the industry at the time and we gave out 1000s of preview copies and I had the pleasure of seeing these (and video projector non timecode copies) several times.

everyone here can swear all they want they saw it but until i see a still or a clip of the scene,imma just keep it that john hughes' great story telling that made me envision the scene..PERIOD

gonna second that....I think i remember this myself, but won't believe it until i see a picture....someone had to tape this off television....give us a screenshot

Yeah, are there any news on that?

I wanna get the DVD but if there are gonna release one on their 20th anniversary, I think I'll wait.

The 20th Anniversary is next year, so it could be a while before we hear whether there will be an anniversary edition.

...or I could post this rumor from digital bits from a few months ago ...

Industry sources have slipped us some interesting information, revealing a few interesting titles that Paramount is considering for re-release as Special Collector's Editions in 2005. This information is extremely tentative, but you might keep your eyes peeled for new SCEs of Face Off, Airplane, McLintock!, Hondo, The Truman Show, Braveheart, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and maybe... just maybe... Titanic, among other titles, by the end of next year. (2005) Presumably, those films released previously on DVD in non-anamorphic widescreen will receive new HD anamorphic transfers.

By the way, I totally remember the Sloane/Cameron scene as well but when and where I saw it, I have no idea ... I did see this movie on opening day at the theater but that was a long time ago so I don't know if it appeared in an "early version" theatrically or if was shown in a tv version, but my memory isn't so bad that I can think I imagined it. Just cause there is no proof doesn't mean it didn't happen. Though proof would be nice ...

The scene exists. I remember it. Others remember it. To suggest that its mass hysteria is ludicrous. Some of you people need a boot to the skull pretty badly.

I have to agree that until a screencap is produced, then this is as you say mass hysteria. It is an interesting phenomenon.

There are tons of other examples of scenes from movies that "others" remember too... that were never in the movie. Jurassic Park was already mentioned.

And I've lost track of the number of people who swear that such-and-such a scene was in Star Wars the first time they saw it... even though what they're really remembering was something they read in the storybook, novel, comic book, etc.

[QUOTE=Neeb]>>Like Fast Times at Ridgemont High...tons added in for TV.

Gurur Askew, I hate to differ, but I definitely remember that scene, and the reason that it worked in the movie is that Cameron was apparently catatonic when she was undressing in front of him. He wasn't hiding and sneaking a peek, he was sitting right there, blank stare, straight ahead. I always thought that she did it as a test, to see if she could get a reaction out of him, and as others have said, she merely stripped down to her camisole and bikini briefs, no nudity. It was definitely tittilating, but once Timecop came out, I think that any Mia Sara fan excitement would be directed at the nudity presented in that movie. The teasing being (IMO) accurately remembered in FBDO would be irrelevant.

Wow, people STILL swear they saw this just like in South Park Season 1 where one of the announcers at the football bgame make a Michael Jackson joke. To this day, no screencap nor sound file exisit....of either Southpark or Ferris Bueler. C'mon guys....How many members does DVDTalk have? ONE of US must have this scene somewhere if it truley does exisit (which I doubt).

99% of the time I would say these are false memories like most have posted. But having seen this many, many, many times on cable, I'm going to have to join the "added content" for tv camp. I distinctly remember this as well.

You can try and chalk it up to puberty and a hot Mia Sara, but I am remembering Cameron's look more than anything. It was very distinct, and others have mentioned that part as well. So I don't think it is hormones.

We all can't be crazy. I had a box of old VHS tapes of movies from cable, including Ferris, but all were tossed last year when I moved.

Anyone have access to the German VHS? Surely it can be had for a couple of bucks. Anyone willing to pick it up for the group? Can anyone confirm that it doesn't exist on the US VHS tape?

Maybe because said scene isn't on ANY DVD release, this is DVDTalk not VHSTalk

Oh, I forgot! Its not like anyone here with 1000+ DVD collections have ever owned a VHS collection in there life

So, then, the people who say they saw the scene in question shouldn't even post about it at all, right?

If the Powers That Be at DVD talk could wrangle an interview with Brett Ratner, they should be able to get a hold of John Hughes and settle this burning controversy.

I have definitely 100% seen that scene. Cameron is sitting in a chair near the pool while Sloan gets undressed.

then post a screenshot....i think i saw it too...but 75 post in and nobody can provide a shot...

This scene is absolutely in some cut of this movie. It went exactly as a poster on the previous page described it. She starts to take off her outer top, stops when she realizes she forgot Cameron was there due to his being catatonic, then proceeds after mistakenly satisfying herself that he is actually catatonic.

It most likley was in the rental copy I dubbed 15 or so years ago, and then disposed of after getting the DVD a few years back. But I absolutely remember this scene. There is no doubt. I noticed immediately that it had gone missing the first time I watched the DVD. I don't normally watch films I have on tape/DVD when they are on TV, so I can't speak to that version.

I'm leaning this way also, but it's very close, maybe about 60/40 that the scene exists. And after reading discussions in which multiple people claim to be absolutely 100% positively certain that they saw "To Be Continued..." at the end of the original BTTF theatrical release, I've become very skeptical about these kinds of questions.

And a scene like this has ALL the elements of a classic false memory situation.
