Below this video (which I love by the way) is a link to a video with Jason Beghe (Hank ReardEn)...and they show a mess of footage that never made it into the movie!!!

  Since I have had no opportunity to see AS II (I'm in New Zealand) I don't know which parts are in the film. The discussion with Danager, out of context as it is, does not impress. The court scene with Rearden does. <spoiler> The subtext is so powerful... the judge passing sentence " Taking into consideration how totally f^&ked we are if you are in jail, your sentence is suspended".
  
  The train scene about 20th century motors ... I hope that did not make the final cut in that form. Maybe in 6 months I will have a chance to see AS II. Its a shame all the garbage from Hollywood goes international, and a story that every business person should see is unavailable. Thanks for posting that link.

    The train scene is pretty much how it is in the movie. The "bum" is now an employee who has a very short story to tell that was, what, 20 pages in the book. I loved that bum...in his dirty clothes, just bouncing around trying to make an honest buck... BUT, I understand the filming and time constraints too.

      I sincerely hope that was the worst scene (because its hard to understand how that didn't get re-shot.) It could have been done as a one sided phone conversation and improved it.

        You wouldn't be able to show the hat (20th century motors) in a one sided phone conversation. :)
