The prologue should have been retained in the film. Sans that prologue, it makes zero sense what exactly the cat is up to.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Thanks for the info on the prologue. I like the idea of the cat following the jingling noises along the walls, but the part about shooting at the cat with an uzi is too campy, even for this film.

Sorry, but this 'deleted sequence' sounds stupid and not important.
it actually makes the story more ridiculous than anything else.
The way the film stands now, I always got the impression that the girl (Drew) was calling out to the cat to come save her from the troll that she knows will try to 'get her' in the final 'The General' storyshe is somehow, inexplicably (yet cooly!) linked to the kittythus, the final scene, where she whispers 'Hi!' to the cat and he licks her facethey are final united, as if it was meant to be;)

For those who don't know, S.K rewrote the unused cat's eye prologue and used it in the Tales From The Dark Side Movie for the second story, the Cat From Hell segment.

It was her, they just put a wig on her just like in that commercial the cat saw.

Hm, looked like a different actress playing the ghost of the girl in the window to me NOT Barrymore.

Thanks for the information TelevisionJunkie. Though, this still doesn't make sense to me -
The little girl that appears in the shop window is a dead girl wanting to be avengedbut they had the same actress (Drew Barrymore) play a little girl who the cat saves in the final act - so did she die or does she live?
When they first filmed the prologue, did they use a different actress for the window scene? And then when they cut the prologue (the plot of the girl dying), they decided to use the same little girl in both parts of the movie in order to make it more cohesive??
If anybody has any info regarding this it would be appreciated -

TJ,
Thanks for posting that information; it sure made interesting reading Shame that it was removed from the final cut
Cheers,
Justice

Hmm, based on your description, it sounds terrible (prologue). But it would be nice to see the movie as it was intended. Also, never judge a book by its description??
maybe king will release a DVD with this original opening somewhere on it.
Good times will be had by all.

I think they should have it as an extra on dvd. I also think that that story should be a short in one of his books.
Gerry is the best to focus on that I could ever hope for.

I think maybe they should of reworte it with something a little less werid like the mother going after the cat with a kitchen knife or maybe just a hand gun. I think that would have been a little less silly. or even if they didn't wont to do that they could of had the mother just throw the cat out of the house or sent it away with animal control. They should have at least left the core of the proloug in. Oh well maybe i m wrong i guess thats why i dont write movie scripts shrug

-Is this deleted footage available anywhere?-
Or even if there is a site that has the WHOLE "Cat's Eye" screenplay (Shooting Draft) by Stephen King. (P&T)

Well the whole thing with the uzi and whatnot sounds a bit silly, but the idea of the cat trying to find out who killed the little girl is interesting.
