Even directors don't always get their own way, as Guardians Of The Galaxy proved when one of James Gunn's favourite scenes had to be left out and not even included as an Extra Feature.

The scene in question saw a montage just after the prison-break scene, and would have been set to ELO's "Living Thing" - another great addition to the Awesome Mix Vol 1 soundtrack. Part of it - with Star-Lord and Gamora changing clothes and sharing a sultry moment - was glimpsed in pre-release material, but the montage was ultimately jettisoned because of some lost shots.

Why It Was Cut

The montage itself was cut because it wasn't necessary (and those lost shots made it impossible), and Gunn later told Vulture that it was an issue with the song that kept it off the blu-ray:

“I know it was a music-rights issue. I don’t know what happened,” he explained to the website. I thought we were gonna put another song on there instead, but it didn’t happen, so hopefully we’ll be able to see it at some point because it’s my favorite thing that was cut.”
