10 More Movies Where The Reshoots Were Painfully Obvious

Clunky editing and excessive reshoots is what killed Suicide Squad. It was clear from the beginning that Warner Bros was dissatisfied with the film David Ayer delivered and ordered the filmmaker to make sweeping changes, and as a result it's hard to pinpoint where the director's vision begins and the studio interference ends.

Tonnes of Joker and Harley Quinn footage ended up on the cutting room floor, but the biggest victim of the reshoots was Jai Courtney's Captain Boomerang, whose character arc was left with a gaping hole in it.

There's a scene where the squaddies are holding a boozy bonding session at a bar. The Captain isn't really feeling the camaraderie and the sequence ends with him cutting ties with the team and making it painfully clear he isn't coming back.

The next time the villain is seen, he's marching into the final battle beside the rest of Task Force X, as though he simply couldn't resist a good slow-mo walk.

Clearly there was footage that bridges the gap between these two events by explaining what caused the Captain to make like a boomerang and come back, but it was nixed in favour of the new footage Ayer was forced to stuff into the cinematic cut.
