on TCM now! When is the brain drop scene?


I would like to see the scene that was reportedly cut so that the X-rating would be resended (brain is dropped from pan into jar). When in the movie does that occur?

I don't have times, but they did it twice from just watching it. During the two brain-transfer operations...

Yes, I saw both of them. One near the beginning and one near the end. The brain looked like about 3 lbs. of raw ground meat being dropped into a large container. Hard to believe those scenes and the one of Karl (Monster) drooling before he kills the young blonde girl were considered "perverted."

actually, reading the trivia to this movie, that scene while originally being written into the movie revisions as them planning to remove it to keep the rating low, was never actually taken out and is in every known print of the movie, including the version I watched on TCM last night..
