osdia out from the well (12/13/02 6:02:01 pm) Reply \| Edit \| Del All	I saw the canoe scene, right now Ok I was watching the TV suddenly the image of Samara appeared (the one of the hospital) I was scared to dead it really came of nowhere, it was just there, I was scared because exactly a week ago I went to see the movie. Thanks to god it was a Tv Spot, but i realize that they quickly show Noah pulling off the canoe, and very very quickly a descomposed face on the canoe. It was like all of those faces of the movie, it looked great, I really don't know why they put that scene, because I have see it here and it doesn't have that scene, I either knew that the distribuitor here has the scene. ------------------------------ Everyone will suffer

A: This was another scene that was shot (and appeared in the trailer) but was cut from the finished film. In it, Noah returns to the rental cabins and pulls the canoe to shore. Inside the canoe he finds the body of the cabin manager, who had watched the tape but failed to make a copy.

That scene was only seen in the Trailer and a few commercial spots (if I remember correctly) for the movie, but not actually in the movie. They edited that scene out of the US release. You say psycho like its a bad thing!

Rachael citizen of the Loopworld (12/17/02 11:27:32 pm) Reply \| Edit \| Del	canoe scene I think I have an idea why they may have cut it. When Noah "meets" Samara, he is staring at the TV in disbelief. He's scared, for sure, but he's also fascinated, unsure of what exactly is happening (remember he thinks the curse is broken and everything is hunky-dory). If he had actually seen someone who had died of Samarafication, and had some inkling of what was about to happen to him, you can rest assured he wouldn't have just sat there like a mook and waited for her. He would have been making frantic attempts to get away, smashing the TV, whatever, possibly leaving the apartment. We know that would have been futile, but it would also have been a pain in the neck to film, so they kept Noah in the dark about what was about to happen to him-for the sake of the story.

There's no "looking too deeply" in my book - the possibilties and levels are virtually limitless. Great, huh? Visit inteferon's viral vestibule for archived topics and Ringeek stuff (L/U 12/17)

One thing that one should consider, though, is that in the original Japanese movies, Sadako did come out of the TV to go after Tomoko, the "Katie" character. Not saying that it's what definitely happened in the remake, but it's a possibility that can't be ruled out, either.
Beatnikman Sadako slave (12/20/02 1:06:13 am) Reply \| Edit \| Del	Re: ! My thought on the matter is as follows. At the beginning of the movie, the first girl's death scene is cut short (to preserve mystery.) We see her reacting to the well on television, but she's at her door at the time. Later, when she's found dead, she's in her closet. Maybe Samara came out of the television and chased her into the closet before killing her. By the way I'm new here. I saw the Ring over a week ago and I'm happy to say that I am still, to my knowledge, alive. Though, I must say I didn't sleep AT ALL the night after I saw it.
