Forgotten D&D movie is making everyone lose their minds with "the worst deleted scene ever"

Dungeon & Dragons’ big-budget action-comedy is now in theaters. This isn’t about that movie. Instead, we’re taking a trip back in time to the franchise’s 2000 releas🧜e that has been mostly🅷 lost to time. Mostly.

A series of bonus features from the critical and commercial failure&🔴rsq🍸uo;s DVD release has been doing the rounds on social media. Thanks to Podcast: The Ride’s Scott Gairdner, we’ve now been reminded of what he calls “the worst deleted scene ever put on a DVD.”

In it, Justin Whalin’s Ridley Freeborn approaches a dragon egg. That’s about as normal as the deleted scene gets. Where do we begin? The egg cracking quite clearly🦩 sounds like someone crumpling up a beer can off-screen, the physical egg disappears only to be replaced by a literal physical blue screen, and some outright bizarre shot composition. The coup de grace? An unfinished CGI dragon that does a barrel roll for some reason. Check it out for yourself below.

"I’ve seen plenty of🎃 deleted scenes that have unfinished VFX, but this is something else," one . Another , "Honestly, this made me laugh harder than anything in a long time, and as such, I'm sad to report that this is actually very good. Truly an u🧜nbeatable punchline."

"This is 🌳easily the best ad ever made for this movie," one .

While this was clearly never meant for mortal eyes, it somehow made its way onto D&D’s DVD release as an odd curio. It doesn’t end there. There’s also – yes, that Jeremy Irons – which points ou🅺t D&D co-creator David Arneson. 

2000&𒆙rsquo;s Dungeons & Dragons grossed $33 million from aไ $45 million budget. It’s currently sitting at a 3.6 rating on IMDb and a 20% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes.
