Who’s Harry Crumb?: Blu-ray Vs. NBC TV Version

For it’s airing on December 15, 1991, NBC added back some deleted scenes to fit into it’s two hour slot. None of the deleted scenes have been released on DVD or Blu-ray. The airing also shortens some scenes for sexual content, swearing and any reference of Coca-Cola. The video quality is also much lower compared to the Blu-ray.

The NBC TV version contains a deleted scene. Harry walks into the basement. He notices a Remington 4100-T and presses a button. The machine turns on and almost throws some discs before Helen stops the machine. After Harry and Helen talk about the machine, Harry says that he is onto her about Jennifer’s appointment and her affair with Vince. Helen offers him some champagne but he declines. She then asks him to open another bottle and turns around to fix her dress. Harry tries to watch her but is caught. He then brings up that kidnapping has many motives and asks if any of the motives sound familiar to her. She tells him he has no idea what he is talking about and that she also does not care. She then asks him to close the lights. As Harry thinks to himself about how to expose Helen, he accidentally pops open the bottle of champagne that he is holding. The cork lands on the button of the Remington 4100-T, which begins to spit out clay pigeons at the wine racks. The wine racks subsequently collapse, spilling wine everywhere and flooding the basement.
