The home video release of the movie includes almost 15 minutes of deleted scenes, the majority of which are well worth fans' time. The two standout scenes, however, see Hollywood legends Harold Ramis and Beverly d'Angelo making memorable cameo appearances.

Ramis shows up for a whole half-minute as Rob's father who dispenses some hilarious sex advice ("The good f**k wasn't even invented when I was your age"), while d'Angelo plays a jilted wife who wants to sell her cheating husband's record collection to him for a mere $50.

Clearly, both of these scenes should've made the cut, even if the film's 113-minute runtime was probably already making the studio a tad twitchy (for a comedy).
