15 Awesome Scenes From Trailers That Were Stupidly Cut From The Film

5. Titanic

Not only did the trailer for Titanic show scenes that didn€'t make it into James Cameron€'s epic adaptation of mass tragedy, but the film itself heavily hinted at them to. When the ship splits in half (erm€spoiler) we see the grumpy Lovejoy at the seam, bleeding from the head with an incredibly small chance of surviving. His battered exterior comes from a scene just after Cal goes psycho and tries to kill the woman he €"loves".

Sending Lovejoy after them, it€'s tonally out of kilter with the sheer emotion of Rose jumping out of the lifeboat we€'ve had moments before; Jack beats up the man servant, destroying the deadly serenity of the flooded dining room. It€'s totally out of character by Jack, someone who by this point we have to be idolising as much as Rose, but it did add some needed non-sinking action to the trailer. Which, incidentally, ruins every major plot beat (and not just the sinking).
