10 Bizarre Scenes Cut From Famous Movies

5. Eddie Melts A Pig (Who Framed Roger Rabbit)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit's flawless mixture of live-action and cartoon elements makes it a technical marvel, but one of the scenes that director Robert Zemeckis was most proud of actually ended up being left out entirely.

The pig head sequence starts with protagonist Eddie Valiant being thrown out of Toon Town with a burlap sack on his head. Upon pulling it off, he's horrified to discover that his own head is now trapped inside the head of a giant pig, which he tries to rip away - but to no avail.

Panicking, Eddie then heads home, and this is where things get even more bizarre. He steps into the shower and pours a chemical on his head that melts the pig down into a goopy mess, and the last thing it sees as it washes down the drain is Eddie's hairy sack - not the burlap one, the, umm, other one.

There's no denying that the scene is executed well, but at the same time, there's something deeply unsettling about it - that final shot of the melted pig sliding towards the plug is surprisingly gruesome. And ultimately, the film works perfectly fine without this sequence being included, which is one of the reasons why it was cut.
