The first scene was when he was following Elijah Muhammed who instilled his racism to Malcolm. The second was after he broke away from Muhammed and made his pilgrimage to Mecca and met generosity from all races including white people. He grew and it showed in the last scene.

1:12 Roger Ebert made a good point about this shot. He said that another director may have made the mistake of directing the scene so it seems like a good one-liner when Malcolm X said 'nothing' and have the camera follow him into the building. Instead, the camera stays outside and focuses on the lady's hurt because Spike wanted us to identify with her instead.

Imagine, touching Malcolm X so deeply that he thought about you years later, that he wished he could get in touch with you, and correct the mistake HE made. It makes me tear up thinking about this.

They should HAD NEVER deleted this scene.

I never knew this scene existed and I cannot fathom WHY it was removed. It's only a few seconds long, yet it's an indispensable plot point in Malcolm's journey. Since in his Autobiography he expresses his regrets at the way he replied to the first girl, and how he wished he could take it back, this would have been a beautiful and powerful conclusion to the circle opened by the previous scene.

Malcolm X didn't float in the air to the sound of Sam Cooke as he was walking to the Audubon Ballroom, because in real life people don't just float in the air as they walk. And yet, that moment is still there, in the final cut. I know this particular meeting didn't happen in real life, (although Malcolm did acknowledge his regret and change of mind), but it works as a conclusion to his character arc within the logic and limits of the film. Of course this is a movie. And I AM talking about the movie as a movie, a narrative work, a dramatized interpretation of real life, not as if it was real life itself.

I will say, this particular scene speaks to the character of Brother Malcolm and his constant learning and evolving as a man.

Like he said in his autobiography, he probably would have handled it much differently. Rest in Power Bro. Malcolm.

I liked this movie a lot and thought Denzel was brilliant in his portrayal of Malcolm. But the problem I always had with this movie was the editing. I thought that Spike placed far too much emphasis on Malcolm's hustling period, which was almost a third of the movie in fact. This less than two-minute scene was certainly far more relevant to Malcolm's legacy than the extensive dance scenes in Boston ballrooms; his entanglements with West Indian Archie; playing Russian Roulette with Rudy; or Malcolm, Sophia, and Archie getting high snorting cocaine. I know this part of his life had to be addressed, but it should have been done in a lot less detail, and this would have given Lee the space and time to include more significant scenes like this one.

This was even printed on the front cover of the original edition of his autobiography. But it wasn't so much that he was a criminal or deviant, as it was that he was a Black man who, as he said, was a "victim of the American social order" that impeded blacks in America from having the opportunity to access legitimate professional careers that whites had. The underworld was the ONLY way that black men from his generation could achieve the fruits of success. Mind you, I'm not saying that this part of his life shouldn't have been addressed in the movie. But I thought it was done in too much detail to the point that it was almost the sub plot of the movie. It took up one hour; it was one third of the movie. I felt that significantly less time could have been devoted to this subject, allowing for more time to be used to include scenes that were more relevant to his legacy and his ideologies as a black leader, such a this one.

Or that his claimed history of being involved in what might as well be called organised crime as a thug were exaggerated? This would be news to me so I am quite interested if you have such information and could share. To me it is like any good story: the greater the contrast the better. I think Spike Lee felt the same and made sure that nobody was ignorant of who Malcom was and who he then became. You could just not turn away from him. I thought it was not only beautifully done but essential to give as complete a picture of him as possible. To make him human and to make sure we saw him as such. He did not want his work to be a hagiography of Malcom which would not stand the test of time nor would it be relevant to all. Who can avert their eyes to his red suit and dapper figur in one scene and then in latter one, the same Malcom stands defiantly outside the hospital where one of his brothers lies beaten and bloody in the darkness and rain. The man who wore red, bloodied another black man by his own hand and now stands watch over his brother who is all dressed in red, so to speak, as he lies in a hospital bed bloodied and beaten. I have easily watched the movie over 50 times and probably closer to a 100 now. Spike Lee has produced a master piece so well made I think it has aspects to it even he did not have in mind.

naim sharif This one particular scene could have cleared up a lot of misconceptions about Malcolm because there are people who refuse or haven’t taken a deeper look into Malcolm. So for some people all they would do is go and see a movie about him during that time period...as well as see it on DVD or when it’s on TV these days.There are people out there who would rather go along with the lies and falsehoods that was told about Malcolm rather than take a deeper look, research and seek the truth about him. Back then we didn’t have internet but we had Encyclopedias or you could go to the Library and do your research. Even now in the Age of The Internet people still won’t take the time and research about Malcolm. The movie was about 3-3 1/2 hours long...but it was good!..because I went to go see it three times when it was at the Movie Theater at the age of 11 in late November to Early December of 1992. So a few extra minutes of this deleted scene wouldn’t have hurt Spike lee to add it into the movie. To me this was A very crucial and highly important scene that Spike Lee left out. Spike Lee did Malcolm A real disservice by not including this in the film.

It may very well be. "Honey Bunny" is Amanda Plummer, and after reading your post, I decided to research on IMDB to find out if this was her in this film clip. But her name isn't listed in the credits for this movie. However, I imagine that's because this clip was edited out.

@@MrThomas564 Yup, definitely Amanda Plummer. Prior to this film, she appeared in a creepy episode from the pilot season of TALES FROM THE CRYPT. Even appeared along side Robin Williams in THE FISHER KING. Great Broadway actress that flew under the Hollywood radar for years. Some of these 80's and 90's talents didn't get much due in their heyday. Pre-Internet, exposure was almost word of mouth. Later generations are now appreciating these actors and looking back at some great performances. 🇵🇷🇺🇸😎

Didn’t know this was a deleted scene wow.

This was my first time ever seeing that second scene...

Malcolm was famous enough that I think the girl would have found out eventually.

If you ctually have to say you are then you are not.

Outstanding!!

That was class of Spike Lee.

It would have been great if the 2nd scene was shown in the film (after he left the Nation)

Beautiful

Why was this a deleted scene?

Damn! That was some cold shit. I love it.

Spike was told to delete it...geniuses!

It’s funny how Malcolm X switched his views to integration before death, and king switched his views from integration to segregation and nationalism before death.

Malcolm x was never for segregation to begin with! He was for separation. Look up how he explained the difference between segregation and separation. He explained that white people and Asians get to profit off us with their businesses so why can't we build our own businesses and have our own land which other races of people can come and buy from us? Malcolm x died a black nationalist. He believed black people should be for their people and white people should be for theirs. He just was no longer hateful about it. Martin Luther King on the other hand didn't regret integration he just regretted how he made it come to be. He realized that black people would be looked at as passive because of the message his stance sent. Yes he became more of a black nationalist right before he died but he never regretted integration. Being a black or white nationalist doesn't necessarily mean you're a segregationist.

The "black Republican" is right. But to add to what he says, Malcolm did modify his ideology toward the end of his life, because his pilgrimage to Mecca impressed upon him that, contrary to what the NOI had taught him, brotherhood among races was feasible. But even until the day he died, he still opposed forced integration. He believed that if racial co-existence could ever become reality, then it could only happen if concerned whites, like the young lady featured, taught racist whites not to be such, and blacks learn to do for themselves without the help of whites. Once these two goals were achieved, racial co-existence could become reality.

​@@J-Hue At the time of his death, Brother Malcolm was neither for integration nor separation. He forthrightly rejected separatism altogether in several Q&A sessions, including at the London School of Economics in February 1965 where he was asked if he still believed in the idea of a separate black state in the U.S.A: Malcolm X: “No. The Black Muslim movement headed by Elijah Muhammad split last year - I made a pilgrimage to Mecca and we regrouped into a Muslim movement based on the teachings of Islam. This totally disavows any form of separatism or discrimination.” Just a couple of weeks earlier, he said on the Pierre Berton show, "I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being, neither white, black, brown nor red. When you are dealing with humanity as one family, there is no question of integration or intermarriage. It’s just one human being marrying another human being, or one human being living around and with another human being. ..I believe in a society in which people can live like human beings on the basis of equality." In Paris, on November 23, 1964, Brother Malcolm said, "We are not separationists, nor integrationists. We’re human beings.” In a letter to M.S. Handler in September 1964, Brother Malcolm wrote, "Since I learned the truth in Mecca, my dearest friends have come to include all kinds-some Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, agnostics, and even atheists! I have friends who are called capitalists, Socialists, and Communists! Some of my friends are moderates, conservatives, extremists-some are even Uncle Toms! My friends today are black, brown, red, yellow, and white! It takes all these religious, political, economic, psychological and racial ingredients to make the Human Family and the Human Society complete.” Brother Malcolm's stance at the end of his life was this: he saw that the United States was already separated, and so he believed in galvanizing those of African descent in the United States into action so that we can control our own destinies, uplift ourselves morally and spiritually, control the economics, politics, and educational institutions of our communities, and establish cultural and racial dignity through learning the truth about our history, while looking to Africa for spiritual, cultural, and psychological strength and solidarity. He also fought to build ties between all those of African descent in the United States and our brothers and sisters in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America who share a similar struggle and have a common origin. As a human rights activist, rather than a civil rights activist, Brother Malcolm was trying to act as a bridge between the militant black nationalist wing of the struggle in the U.S.A. and the more moderate wing led by Dr. King and other Civil Rights leaders. Brother Malcolm was also trying to go through the United Nations to indict the United States for its human rights violations against Afro-Americans, and to compel the United States to "practice what it preaches" and follow its constitution with respect to Afro-Americans and others of African descent. All that said, Brother Malcolm believed in the brotherhood of all men. He believed in a society where people of all races, classes, and ideologies could live together in peace as human beings. He also understood, however, that he was living in a society that did not practice brotherhood, and reserved the Afro-American's right to self-defense. Brother Malcolm advocated using the ballot to obtain freedom, justice, and equality. However, he left the bullet on the table. Still, Brother Malcolm had hope that America could positively respond to the ballot and have what he called a "bloodless revolution," and he recognized that it would take both blacks and whites to bring about the positive change that was needed. He told Marlene Nadle of the Village Voice in February 1965, "So when the day comes when the whites who are really fed up...when they learn how to really establish the proper type of communication with those [who are black] uptown who are fed up and they get some coordinated action going, you’ll get some changes. You’ll get some changes. And it will take both. It will take everything that you’ve got.” In his interview with Jeune Afrique, he said, “I’m a Muslim, but I know that it’s not in the mosques that we will win. It’s in the streets and the cities, side by side with those who, whites included, want to rid the country of the racism that is eating it away." He said, "I for one will join in with anyone - I don’t care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this earth.” So I repeat, Brother Malcolm was neither an integrationist, nor a separationist at the end of his life. He wasn't even a "staunch black nationalist" because he himself rejected the term "black nationalism" in one of his later interviews because it excluded sincere and militant whites. Brother Malcolm was a Muslim, freedom fighter, spiritual humanist, and Pan-Africanist.

X was a committed man, who did not play around after he came out of prison.

It is my understanding that once Malcom X was committed to Islam he also realised that the black exceptionalism preached by the Nation of Islam no longer had any validity. As far as he was concerned, his comitment was to Allah and his messenger Muhammad the Prophet and not Elijah Muhammad. The emphasis on race in the creed of the Nation of Islam of the time had no place in the four schools of thought of the Sunni Muslims nor of the various schools of thought of the Shia. Rather, it is fundamentally rejected. The idea of Tauheed or Oness of God is intended to be reflected in the unity of humanity and for which humanity shall strive til the end of days.

Actually, it was his trip to mecca that opened his eyes that not all white people where the same the white Muslims welcomed him with open arms caused him to reevaluate what he knew. Not many people can admit that they are wrong and change course but he did, It's documented in his autobiography by Alex Haley.

Filmed up on Columbia University's campus -- in front of Hamilton Hall to be specific.

There are good people in the world. We just have to promote positively and kindness even through turmoil for usually good people like these women were are the diamonds in the rough.

I have never seen this deleted scene before, but I think it's powerful and editing it out was a BIG mistake. Spike should have included it in the movie. It would have not only redeemed Malcolm for what he said to the other white girl, who you couldn't help but to feel sorry for, but it would have effectively depicted Malcolm's change in his attitude and showed that he really didn't hate whites but hated white racism.

@@Bruss813 I disagree. The idea was to a depict a parallel between this young white woman and the other at the university and to bring everything full circle. He was also trying to depict how the post-Mecca and post-NOI Malcolm realized that white racism wasn't inborn as Elijah Muhammad taught, but rather it was learned. Malcolm had himself learned that education is a dual-edged sword in that if you taught people to be racist you could also teach them not to be. That's why he advises the young lady here to "fight the battle where it begins -- your own home and in your community."
