    Quote from ethanedwards

    They are great scenes, and I am lucky to have the uncut VHS version.
    On one of the YouTube comments, it says it was 'butchery'
    to cut these scenes, and they're right!


    Hi Keith


    Thats interesting, are there many deleted scenes missing from my original post that are within your VCR version?

    I'm glad everyone enjoyed these clips, does anyone know if anymore exist from this movie?


    In addition to this does anyone know where I can view a clip John Wayne himself cut from this movie involving him killing two Mexicans with the same lance?

    Many of you have probably seen the clips below that were deleted from "The Alamo," but for those that haven't enjoy.

    Quote from BILL OF PA

    I think with the passing of Richard Widmark I'll watch JW version of the battle. I own eight different movies of this battle, three are silent films.


    Which in your opinion is the best version and which is the most historically accurate?


    I have only ever seen the mutilated version of John Wayne's "Alamo".

    Quote from WaynamoJim

    Watch that scene closely and you'll hear a gunshot that's a little louder than the rest. A second after that happens, Curtis cries out and falls back over the stockade wall.


    I just watched the scene again here, and the only gunshot is that from Curtis' own gun.

    There something regarding this movie that has puzzled me, at the end when the three non combatants leave the Alamo after the battle, one of them is a young black boy, where did he come from? I don't remember him being in the movie prior to this, but I have could have missed something.

    Hi Keith did you ever find out the answer to the above topic?

    Hi Keith


    Thanks for that but it doesnt really tell me what Duke does during the final battle apart from what I mentioned earlier.

    Hi Keith


    Ok that cleared up my question, the final version of the Alamo lasts 192 minutes, thanks.


    I watched the Alamo recently on TV, with many scenes cut from it, what I am interested in is Crocketts/Dukes contribution to the final battle.


    Here is what I could assertain from the TV version


    1. Directs his men to fire at the start of the battle
    2. Tells two of his men to take Bowie to the chapel
    3. Informs some of his men to reinforce the north wall
    4. Knocks a mexican of his horse
    5. Throws a gun at a mexican
    6. Is lanced by a Mexican and then ignites the gunpowder.


    Have I missed anything?

    Are you saying that you have a full length copy of the directors cut of the Alamo on DVD, if so how is this possible as I was under the impression that this could not be done.

    Two bloopers I can think of are when Travis is killed the Mexicans run over him and he can be seen to move his hand.


    The next one is quite funny when Duke is told to guard the north wall he accidentally walks on one of the defenders head.


    At the same time though the final assault on the Alamo is very well done and Duke should get a little more credit for it than he has in the past.

    While the Alamo may not be my favourite movie by any strech of the imagination I do find the recovery of previously deleted scenes very interesting. From what I can understand scenes within the movie that previously seemed odd i.e. the henchman whom Duke fought with on the street just disappears out of the movie but the deleted scenes seem to show us more of what happened there now that can only improve the movie.


    Itdo what do you think are the chances of actually finding scenes that Duke cut from the movie, I was watching a documentary about Humphrey Bogart a while ago and it was brilliant it not only showed many deleted scenes from his movies but alternative endings its a shame that nothing like this can be found for Dukes movies or is it a case of not looking in the right places.


    Note I'm not writting in bold anymore as it has been brought to my attention that it can be translated as me shouting.
