Hi guys was just downloading some screencaps off a website and there were a fair few I couldn't account for of the pilot, it seems they cut quite a bit, Is there anywhere I could watch the uncut one?
Thanx

[Samfrench25]

Hmmm. . .could you provide a link to the pictures you're talking about? I mean I have it on DVD and I could tell you if they were pictures used from the episode or if they were possible promo pictures.

I have the DVDs too and the scenes are definitely not on there, this is the link, you need to download pilot part 2 it's a zip file but it doesn't take long.

http://community.liv.....; burn notice

Clearly some places showed it uncut, weird!

More likely they padded out the pilot with deleted scenes to make a two-part episode for the foreign market. The caps are from an Australian broadcast.

It is disappointing not to have had that version on the DVD, or to have had the scenes included as deleted scenes.

OMG!! I just looked at the screencaps! OMG where are those missing scenes?!?! Where is the Michael/Fi roof top scene, the Sam scene and the end scene?!?! OMG! They sooooooo should have included it in the bonus features on the DVD, IMHO! Matt Nix, you have some 'splainin to do!

See, lol this is what I'm sayin how come some people got it uncut? And why wasn't it on the DVD? Weird right?

Next time a writer/Nix steps into the room someone needs to bring this up so we can get some answers!

Well - isn't that interesting!! Michael Westen - For Hire! Yeah they did cut a few things out didn't they! I'd like to see an uncut version too. Just can't get enough of Burn Notice!!

Could it have something to do with how many commercials are in an episode? When watching encore presesntions of episodes, I "think" I've noticed some additional footage, if you will, that I didn't remember seeing before. I don't know if I "blinked" when I watched the epi previously, but I think I see a "sec or two" that I didn't remember seeing before.....maybe it's just me.

Add me to the list to get the uncut versions of BN episodes.

When the original pilot aired, it was commercial free...brought to you by DirectTV.... some of those scenes in that zip file were definitely not there. I hadn't noticed anything cut from the pilot episode that I hadn't seen the first time, but then again sometimes my mind fails me!

I just asked Mike Horowitz perhaps some other people could too to see if he will answer.

Can you all tell me what I'm missing? I just hate to download anything else on my PC. Are there a lot of scenes to watch?

It is a zip file and it is picture by picture the entire pilot episode. There is a scene with Michael and Fi on the roof right before their dinner scene that wasn't in the pilot....and at the end where Michael walks in the loft and sees all the pictures and the Welcome To Miami brochure he goes back on the roof and makes a phone call...at the end it freezes and puts his name back up and underneath it says "For Hire." That wasn't in there either. Also a scene on a bridge where Michael is paying a man for an envelope with a letter in it to all gov't agencies not to have contact with him....I believe that is the letter he received in the episode with Oleg's waitress where he met his buddy in the cemetary and he gave him the letter.

It would be interesting to discover if there is, or was, a Director's cut to Burn Notice on DVD. Might be interesting to see ,whatelse hasn't been disclosed to the public; and/or, are still hidden mysteries to the general public, and those not involved in production.

[NatashaFatale]

ah, now i finally have seen what you all mean... i'm a little bummed we didn't get a chance to see these extra scenes too Looked like some good ones! I wonder if it was just a time constraint thing?
For those who aren't able to get the zip file, here are some of the missing scenes mentioned:

[Samfrench25]
