10 Scrapped Movie Scenes Better Than What We Got

6. The Original Cap Vs. Winter Soldier Fight - Captain America: The Winter Soldier

The street fight between Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) in Captain America: The Winter Soldier is one of the MCU's most-celebrated action scenes to date.

Yet despite its stripped down intensity, it also suffers from sloppy editing and overly busy direction, making it tough to fully savour the clear effort that's been put into the silky smooth fight choreography.

However, the scene's choreographers recently uploaded a "previz" version of the fight (see below), with two stunt performers acting out the scene in a warehouse, the results of which are decidedly tighter and more fluid than what made it into the final film.

Granted, it's far easier to control shooting conditions indoors, but even so, there's a night-and-day difference between the bracingly intense original sequence and the rougher, less visually coherent final product.
