| FUTURAMA CUTS - SEASON 3 1: THE HONKING C4 PREMIERE 18.09.02, 18:30 THE ONE WHERE While in the Robo-Hungarian Empire to receive a castle from his dead Uncle Vladimir’s will, Bender is hit by a were-car – and is doomed to turn into a were-car himself every night, eventually killing his dearest friend, unless PX can kill the original were-car – an evil being known as Project Satan. DEFINITE CUTS BY C4 DEFINITE CUTS BY SKY ONE --------------------- Leela is showing everyone the newspaper: LEELA There was a hit and run by the Robot Porno Theatre. BENDER Robot Porno Theatre? I was in… that general area… last night. --------------------- Sky loses some footage here, because the original US version 'cut to commercial' here, with Bender about to run Leela down, so they were left in ‘suspense’ through the adverts. In Britain, neither channel went to ads, so Sky cut the 'suspense' bit out, to avoid confusion: Bender revs up and drives towards Leela. She shields her eyes from the headlights. [ADVERTS] Leela is still shielding her eyes, and there’s a front shot of Bender advancing, but Leela runs into ‘Park Avenue Junk’. --------------------- At the end: FRY (gets out a beer) Here’s to you! [Bender] BENDER Hey, that’s my last beer, you bastard! I’ll kill you! FRY (toasting) I’ll kill you too, buddy – I’ll kill you too… (Bender strangles Fry, and among the choking noises we hear him say ‘Yes! Yay!’ [because he knows Bender’s his best friend]) |
