10 Deleted Scenes Cut From Quentin Tarantino Movies

Surely the most significant excision from Inglorious Basterds was a shot scene starring legendary Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung as Madame Ada Mimieux, Shosanna's (Melanie Laurent) "aunt" from whom she inherited the Le Gamaar Cinema.

The sequence would depict Shosanna's first years in Paris after initially escaping Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz), where Mimieux would discover her hiding in the cinema and threaten to give her over to the Nazis unless she helped her run the place.

And so, when Mimieux died of fever - as mentioned in the film itself - Shosanna inherited both the cinema and the Minieux surname.

As fantastic as this all sounds, the ever-ruthless Tarantino ultimately cut it for time, deciding that it wasn't necessary for the audience to see how Shosanna got set up in Paris.

Though the director hoped to release the scene on the film's Blu-ray pending Cheung's approval, sadly this never happened, perhaps because he couldn't get the actress' sign-off.
