10 Movies Where The UK Version DELETED The Best Scenes

10. Dumb & Dumber - The Little Old Lady Is Nowhere To Be Seen

It's safe to say that, despite still being an absolute riot for the most part, some sequences from 1994's Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels-starring Dumb & Dumber have aged like a carton of semi-skimmed milk.

The sight of Daniels' Harry Dunne giving a masseuse his own personal brand of massage in an unsettlingly tight ensemble and Carrey's Lloyd Christmas fantasising about lifting up Mary's dress both induce their fair share of cringes in 2021. However, they both found their way into the cut that wiggled onto U.K. cinema screens back in the mid-90s.

One scene that wasn't seen as suitable for British viewers, though, came in the form an exchange between Lloyd and a "little old lady" near a newspaper stand. Oddly, the hilarious moment that involved Carrey returning to the stand after quipping that the pensioner could "still serve a purpose", only to find that his groceries and wallet had been nicked by her, was left out.

Bizarrely, ITV was allowed to air the scene when it debuted on TV in 1996, but it once again went walkabouts when DVD and VHS releases arrived on the scene.

Somebody clearly wasn't happy with this pensioner theft auto.
