    A movie that, for me, defined the concept of "ass numbing" when I saw it in the IFI a few years ago. Please save our rears Mr. Coppola and cut out that plantation scene once more...

    Absolutely Cracking Movie.
    Plantation scene is a little pointless, but I liked it all the same. The other bits added in certainly add a different dimension to the film.

    opinion on the stranded playboy bunnies?

    imho, way to wacky to fit, but good fun nonetheless.

    Playboy bunnies made it interesting. The bit where they stole Killgore's board I thought was definetly a more interesting part.
    The original did not really miss any of these parts and it does not make the film hugely different not to have these,although the nicking of the Surf board certainly shows Martin Sheen's character was a bit different to how the original (insofar as he was capable of having a sense of humour) portrays. But if you're a huge fan of the film (as I am) it's nice to see what Coppola originally wanted to do.
