Twilight Zone: The Movie

The scene being shot at the time of Vic Morrow's fatal accident was added to the script late in the filming in an attempt to "soften" his bigoted character Bill Connor, and give him some redemption: while fleeing from an American helicopter attack on a deserted Vietnamese village, he sees two orphaned children. Bill decides to save them no matter what the cost, so he carries them under his arms and wades through the river to safety. He then finds himself back in Nazi-occupied France again, the two children having time-jumped with him. The two Nazi officers chasing Bill take the children away for execution, and take Bill to a train which ends the segment. Due to the helicopter accident that claimed the life of Morrow and child actors Renee Chen and My-ca Dinh Le, all scenes featuring the children were completely cut, and they do not appear in the film. Bill's original scripted ending was kept in, leaving Bill's character change largely unaddressed and his fate unknown.

An exterior shot of the airplane in Segment #4 shows the landing gear to be in the down position. The pilot later comments that the plane would be landing in twenty minutes, far too long for gear to be down prior to touchdown.

CBS edited 8 minutes from this film for its 1986 network television premiere.
