FUTURAMA CUTS - SEASON 2 8: RAGING BENDER - C4 PREMIERE 14.08.01, 18:30 - uncut premiere 08.03.03, 01:15 THE ONE WHERE After appearing to have beaten up the robot-wrestling champion in a cinema, Bender becomes a robot wrestler and, trained by Leela, is an instant success. But when he abandons her and things turn sour, Bender has to change his in-ring image and become the laughing-stock of robot fighting. DEFINITE CUTS --------------------------- Bender makes the mistake of enraging robot fighting champion The Masked Unit: THE MASKED UNIT I’m gonna open a pile of whoop-ass on you! --------------------------- Later, when Bender is in the fighting league, he visits the owner and top fighters: BENDER Howdy chief. For my next bout, what do you say I fight these two bimbos in some mud? OWNER Actually, we’ve decided to go in a different direction. BENDER What if I told you we wouldn’t be fighting in the traditional sense? OWNER Bender, your popularity is slipping… -------------------------- MILLIONAIREBOT [As the Gender Bender,] You’ll be the most unpopular robot fighter since Sergeant Faeces-Processor! (laughs) BENDER Oh yeah? ------------------------- Robot Fighting League TV advert: NARRATOR You loved him as Bender the Offender. Now prepare to hate him as he threatens your sexuality in his new persona, the Gender Bender! --------------------------- During Bender’s championship bout, Leela and Fnogg (her sexist former teacher) are also fighting under the ring: FNOGG You were an excellent student – too bad I was a lousy teacher! (fights back – most of the punches and kicks by Fnogg are shown, but the last couple of punches, and Leela falling backwards, were cut out by C4) – because they don’t want to show violence by men towards women. That’s all very well, but why did they show the start of the fighting?) |
