John Hughes‘ classic is getting the cineaste seal of approval with an upcoming release on The Criterion Collection. The release is going to come loaded with extras, but the highlight for many will be the whopping fifty minutes of never-before-seen deleted and extended scenes. Yep, a whole lot of material was left on the cutting room floor — in fact, it was rumored that Hughes destroyed the negatives of these extra scenes, and retained the only complete copy on film.
At any rate, Criterion has dug up a wealth of material, and in this scene, Claire tries unsuccessfully to connect with Ally Sheedy‘s oddball Allison. It’s a just a taste of much more to come. “The Breakfast Club” hits DVD and Blu-ray via Criterion on January 2, 2018. [Vulture]
