Not a "holy grail," but I'm curious about the episode of the podcast "Jordan, Jesse, Go" with the Penny Arcade guys. Supposedly they came off really shitty in it because they were kept waiting for half an hour or something.

The host, Jesse, doesn't want to air it, though, supposedly to keep them from sounding like assholes.
I used to really love the show till I eventually just had to reduce the amount of 'casts I listened to. I never heard this mentioned, but i damn sure want to hear it!

To my knowledge you can still find this. I heard it when it was released and I think I tried to listen to it again last year. Weirdly enough it's been mostly scrubbed from the internet but I just checked Google and you can find it on the pirate bay.

The conflict arose from Gabe and Tycho being made to wait nearly an hour for anything to start, and then the podcast not being at all what they were told it was going to be.

The supposedly uncut version of But I'm a Cheerleader. I'm not really sure if the DVD is the non-theater version.

What's the difference between the regular version and the uncut version?

The uncut version was rated NC17 for some lesbian action, a love and masturbating scene in particular. Nothing really major. Kinda stupid, but given the movie's story it was unfairly rated at the time. The director cut the movie for an R rating in theaters. I've heard the UK DVD was the uncut version, but I haven't found much info. The version I saw has some weird edits, but I'm not sure if it was deliberate, wish I knew more. The doc This Film Is Not Yet Rated goes into more detail.

"Pikachu The Movie Premium Box 1998 - 2010" is a fourteen disc Blu-ray set containing the first thirteen movies (from Myuutwo all the way to Zorro'ark) and five of the six Pikachu shorts that were released theatrically. It came out in Japan on November 28th, 2012 and retailed for 38,640 yen.



Here is a breakdown of the discs:

Disc One "Myuutwo Strikes Back" - Perfect Version
Disc Two "The Explosive Birth of the Phantom Pokemon Lugia"
Disc Three "Emperor of the Crystal Tower, Entei"
Disc Four "Celebi's Encounter Through Time"
Disc Five "The Water Capitol's Protector Gods Latias and Latios"
Disc Six "The Seven Nights' Star of Wishing, Jiraachi"
Disc Seven "The Sky-Splitting Visitor, Deoxys"
Disc Eight "Myuu and the Wave-Guiding Hero, Lucario"
Disc Nine "Pokemon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea, Manaphy"
Disc Ten "Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai"
Disc Eleven "Giratina and the Sky Bouquet, Shami"
Disc Twelve "Arceus - To the Conquering of Spacetime"
Disc Thirteen "The Illusionary Conqueror, Zorro'ark"
Disc Fourteen "Pikachu's Summer Vacation," "Pikachu Exploration Party," "Pikachu's Nervous Hide-and-Seek," "The Glittering Starlit Camp," and "The Dancing Pokemon Secret Base"

Since Japan shares Blu-ray regions with both North and South America, a lot of you reading this can import this set and play it on your Blu-ray players.
 
When you watch Short Circuit's credits, there's a scene where Johnny 5 is being yanked around a junkyard, sort of Toy Story 3-style. It would be nice to see that sequence, even though they took it out for pacing reasons.

I think one of the DVDs was supposed to have deleted scenes, but it didn't include it. (And it was pretty pricey to find that edition of the DVD by the time I learned of it.)

I was also just reminded of the Fight Club "Penis Song", which they wanted to put on the DVDs but couldn't get the rights to do. YouTube to the rescue.


Sonic Xtreme

Chris Senn already posted a ton of content, resources and plans from Sonic X-treme, and one of the prototypes (although very rough, based off the engine that Naka had canned because he thought they were ripping off NiGHTS IIRC) was found and released.

He had to take a bunch of it down, but I'm sure someone's got it backed up. I started to at one point, but didn't finish in time.

More info and examples at Retro.

I would love to have some one find some of Shakespeare's Lost Plays, like Love's Labour's Won (shut up Dr. Who fans) and Ur-Hamlet.

Ur-Hamlet was speculated to have been written by Thomas Kyd. Have you read Kyd's 'The Spanish Tragedy'? It predates Hamlet by some time and contains suspiciously similar themes and devices. I thoroughly recommend looking in to it if you haven't and the mystery of Ur-Hamlet still intrigues you.

Thanks for the link to that Wiki. Lots of interesting stuff there.

Someone mentioned the KTMA MST3K episodes. They're right. Some of them are floating around out there. I've seen a couple of them. They're not very good.

Interesting, I'm gonna look into it.

I was also gonna say Cardenio but they also think that it turned into The Second Maiden's Tragedy or became part of Lewis Theobald's Double Falsehood

The extra footage of the kid who gets steam rolled by the rolling pavement flattener in Maximum Overdrive.

Like rolling up a tube of toothpaste king described it as.

I would love to see Glitterati. For anyone who´s seen Roger Avery´s adaption of Rules Of Attraction, Gliterrati is a movie made with the footage that was shot for the sequence where Victor Ward travels through Europe.
It´s basically 90 mins of Kip Pardue acting like Victor Ward in real life. It was shown a couple of times in private showings but Roger Avary doesn´t want to release it because he feels the movie is "ethically questionable".

Yeah the sped up sequence always looked interesting.

the 3+ hour version of phantasm, taken from imbd:

This film's original running time was more than three hours, but writer/ director Don Coscarelli decided that that was far too long for it to hold people's attention and made numerous cuts to the film. Some of the unused footage was located in the late 1990s and became the framework for Phantasm IV: Oblivion. The rest of the footage is believed to be lost.

a user on opa ages claimed to have seen this version, and that her boyfriend used to have a copy of it. i tried to buy it off her for $50 but when she asked him, he no longer had it.

Not sure if these are lost but...
- I want to see the few episodes of Batman: TAS with Tim Curry as the Joker
- Harvey Keitel as Willard in Apocalypse Now
- All the version of Resident Evil 4

I had a chance to see The Whole Bloody Affair. The anime sequence is slightly more violent, but I don't recall seeing any new footage. Starting to think I didn't see the final version of it.

Jerry Lewis in The Day the Clown Cried. It's about a circus clown imprisoned in Nazi Germany. He is completely washed up and thought to be useless and unfunny by adults, but uses his skills to entertain Jewish children. If this sounds too schmatlzy and heartwarming, consider that he eventually uses his clowning skills to help the Nazis herd children onto trains headed towards concentration camps (in exchange for a chance at parole).

It's apparently astoundingly bad and tasteless. Quote from Harry Shearer from the Wiki:

"With most of these kinds of things, you find that the anticipation, or the concept, is better than the thing itself. But seeing this film was really awe-inspiring, in that you are rarely in the presence of a perfect object. This was a perfect object. This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is. "Oh My God!" – that's all you can say."
 
Any significantly old beta of a Nintendo game. Nintendo is the kind of company who probably throws away more than they use, and I want to see what they throw away - because it probably isn't that bad, and at the very least would be interesting.

What did Super Mario 64 look like in 1994? What did that Super FX Mario game look like that apparently preceded it? What was in the 2006 build of Super Mario Galaxy?

Or, perhaps most puzzling: what was Super Mario Sunshine originally going to be?

That's not even considering Zelda; Ocarina of Time seemed to change pretty dramatically over time, and while we have suggestions, I want real answers. But Nintendo very closely guards this kind of information.

For that matter, being able to play the N64 version of Dinosaur Planet or Conker's 12 Tales would be interesting. There's extensive footage out there of both, but I'd like to play it with my own hands, even if Conker's 12 Tales looks like a total snooze in the gameplay department.

Add me to the list that wants to see the footage of Eric Stoltz in BttF, and the cut scenes from The Breakfast Club.

The only other one I can think of at the moment that hasn't been mentioned is the music video for Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's, 'A Nightmare On My Street'. It was buried apparently after a lawsuit from New Line Cinema.

Reading the IT Crowds wiki today I found out an american series was planned and the pilot was shot at NBC with Joel Mchale and Richard Ayoade. But apparently it wasn't approved by NBC's head boss.

Where did you read that? I've read there was no video, but that could be part of it being buried.
