"The Wild Stallion" (2009)

From IMDb:

A story about two girls, CJ and Hanna. CJ lives on a ranch, Hanna comes to visit and decides to photograph wild horses for a school project. The girls become great friends and learn of a plot that might jeopardize the mustangs.

Uh, there's a boy in it too, but I don't think the movie title refers to him. From a DVD source in AVI format. 85:32 m. 702 MB. English with no subtitles. Enjoy!

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" -- A Very Sunny Christmas (2009)

Frequent visitors to this blog will recognize that I posted this item initially as a bit of a mystery quiz. I got several correct answers via e-mail and through the comments shown below. You guys are very sharp!

This wacky, low-budget TV show is a bit like the classic "Seinfeld"--the characters go through all sorts of adventures, but they never learn anything! Episodes are easily found on torrent sites, and some of them even have some boy characters.

The episode we are considering here is a special 2009 Christmas episode. As of the time of this writing, it has not even aired on TV, but a DVD edition is due to be released soon, and of course someone leaked it on a torrent site.

Here are a few interesting facts that make this item relevant here:

  • The director of this episode is none other than former actor Fred Savage, whom we all know from The Wonder Years as well as other projects. He has directed and produced many episodes of this funny series.
  • The three clips of deleted scenes are flashbacks in which highly eccentric characters Charlie and Mac recall scenes from their childhood. Similar scenes are included in the actual episode.
  • Young Charlie is portrayed by Robbie Tucker, who has done other TV work in popular TV shows currently in production.
  • Young Mac is portrayed by Preston Bailey, a particular favorite of mine, who is perhaps best known for his role as the step-son of the title character of the serial killer Dexter.

Here are the RS links for the complete episode (43:17 m; 522 MB).

The text that follows was the original blog post asking for guesses as to the source of the three deleted scenes. I hope you had fun!

Here are three deleted scenes from a new DVD (so new that it has not yet been released). Can anyone name the production from which these scenes were deleted? After this fun little mystery has been solved, I will change the title of this blog post to the real name of the item. Note: These scenes are rather brief and are meant to be funny, so I don't believe anyone will feel put out by downloading them. I will post one screen cap below as a teaser. Enjoy!

"Nachttocht" (1982)

As requested on the "Visitor Feedback" area. Made for television.

Thomas takes rowing-lessons and he enjoys them very much. Especially the coach Frank is his idol. Frank likes Thomas too and visits his home as a friend of the family. Thomas's parents are divorced and Frank and his mother develop a relationship. This relationship creates a lot of jealous feelings in Thomas. After all, Frank was his friend. To be in love with your teacher only to have your mother sleeping with him, that hurts, even for a boy. {synopsis appropriated from Movie Kids--thanks, guys!}

IMDb. Watchable but low-quality AVI format that probably originated from a TV recording on VHS. 62:20 m. 390 MB. Dutch dialogue with burned-in English subtitles. Enjoy!

"Gli ultimi angeli" (1977)

Also known as "The Last Angels." From IMDb:

Elisabeth and Massimo have been separated for two years and decide to affirm their independence with a divorce. The person who suffers the most from the situation is their son Marco, who normally lives with his father in a beautiful, but lonely country house. Marco's only satisfaction comes from riding his horse Socrates around the countryside, but Massimo sends the horse to his father-in-law in Sicily when, tired of solitude, he decides to sell everything and move into town. At this point, Marco, who has by chance witnessed the kidnapping and release of Gilberto, decides to flee and pretend he has been kidnapped to gain his parents' attention. His journey to Sicily, where his maternal grandfather lives near Ragusa, is crammed full of adventures, but the child makes it in the end, thanks to Rocco, a Neapolitan street urchin, who befriends him. Rocco ends up under a car, and this accident along with the vicissitudes of Marco's flight, bring the horrified parents together: they rush to the house of the wise grandfather, who meanwhile has manged to convince his grandson that life is beautiful after all, in spite of all the difficulties it involves.

AVI format from an unknown video source, probably VHS. 88:38 m. 555 MB. Unfortunately, this version is dubbed with English dialogue (not very adeptly) and also has burned-in subtitles in Portuguese. This item was requested by a friend, and I post this version in the hopes that someone might have some leads on a better-quality version, preferably in the original language and with separate English subtitles. Anyone?

"Un par de zapatos del '32" (1974)

A contribution from K. Thanks!

Also known as "The Student Connection" and "Witness to Murder."


That's Ray Milland all right, making the best of a seedy situation in the Spanish-lensed Student Connection. He plays the headmaster of an exclusive boys' school, who is conducting an affair with a married woman. Driven by passion, Milland kills his paramour's husband. He then discovers that one of his students saw him commit the crime...and thus begins a chain of homicides which ends only moments before the film does. [All Movie.com]

IMDb. AVI format from a VHS source (fair picture quality). 86 m. 699 MB. Full screen aspect ratio. Dubbed English with burned-in Greek subtitles. Note from contributor: "There's another video at the end of the recording. It's an old Italian comedy spoof of James Bond that someone included on the tape that has the movie. Just ignore it." Enjoy!
