15 Things You Didn't Know About Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy
6. An Entire Sub-Plot Was Removed From The Movie
Following the success of Anchorman, a straight-to-DVD counterpart to the film was released which was compiled from outtakes from the original movie.
This included an entire plot line that was originally intended for the main film, which involved a group of bank robbers that called themselves ‘The Alarm Clock Gang’.
Maya Rudolph, Chuck D, Tara Subkoff and Kevin Corrigan played the gang, their plot line also included a cameo from Amy Poelher as a bank teller but all of her parts were also cut from the cinema release of the original film.
In the straight-to-DVD release, titled Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie, the gang end up kidnapping Veronica Corningstone only for Ron and the rest of the news team to turn up and save her.
This was the intended finale to the original movie, before they added the pregnant panda storyline and moved the climax of the movie to the bear enclosure at the zoo.
