9 Deleted Scenes That Explain Confusing Movie Moments

3. Lovejoy Vs. Jack - Titanic

The real villain of the Titanic story is man's false sense of indestructibility (and therefore the natural human avatar of that is Bruce Ismay), but that didn't stop James Cameron inserting some tangible, totally fictitious hate figures into his big budget retelling of the disaster.

Billy Zane (who has sadly become less prominent in recent years) is all out despicable as Cal, but often lacking in praise is Lovejoy. As an assistant to Cal, his unquenchable hate of petty commoner Jack is as subtle as anything in the film, but David Warner reins in the script, keeping him always watchable. Sadly, Lovejoy is rather ignominiously thrown aside once the Atlantic waters become an increasing threat, only given a blink and you miss it send off as the ship splits in two.

The moment is made jarring by Lovejoy's sudden disheveled and blood stained state, which references back to a deleted confrontation with Jack. Chasing down the young lovers after Cal's gun touting outburst, he shows his potential police history doesn't transfer into fighting ability, ending up knocked out in knee-deep water. Cut for a mixture of showing Jack in a darker light and keeping too much focus on the Heart of the Ocean, the scene is still important in the continuity of the sinking and, if included, makes things run a lot smoother.
