10 Horrific Movie Deaths That Had To Be Cut Out

Saturn 3 is a messy sci-fi thriller from 1980 and is best remembered for Farrah Fawcett dressing in skimpy outfits and Kirk Douglas being naked much more than necessary. By all accounts, the movie was an unhappy shoot, with the original director being fired after a couple of weeks and Harvey Keitel clashing with producers.

In the final cut, his voice was dubbed by another actor, and his various death scenes were cut. His first gory death happened in a dream sequence, where he insults Douglas and is stabbed in the neck and stomach with a broken bottle. The producer felt the scene was appallingly violent, and insisted it was removed.

Keitel’s true death saw him being “dismantled” by his crazed robot, who starts ripping off his limbs. This mainly happened off-camera but apparently, the sound effects alone made this scene quite nasty. It was ultimately trimmed to keep his fate a mystery until later in the story.
