Suicide Squad
The recent proclamation of James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squad , which will be crashing into theatres on August 6th 2021 , called into interrogation the condition of the premature openhanded screen outing of Task Force X. 2016’sSuicide Squadmade a lot of money but was critically savaged and Gunn ’s motion picture is reportedly intended to be a reboot of the franchise , everlasting with different characters .
Now is as secure a time as any to look back at the superior Extended Cut of the original film , as it arguably could have gone over comfortably with audiences and entail a reboot was n’t needed . Here are all the scene and character moments that were added back in for the Suicide Squad Extended Cut .
MORE JOKER IN THE ARKHAM ASYLUM FLASHBACKS
One of the biggest complaints about Suicide Squad was the lack of screentime devoted to the Clown Prince Of Crime , The Joker . The Extended Cut adds back in a lot of ' Mistah J ' , to assorted result ( like with his appearance in the theatrical stinger ) .
The Arkham Asylum flashbacks , which detail his initial putrescence of Dr. Harleen Quinzel ’s mind , are stretch here and we see more of Jared Leto ’s rendition of the role . He pronounce that Harleen did n’t help oneself him , but rather she erased his mind and impart him a black hole of rage and confusion . Then he atomize her headspring with electrodes , rewire her own mind .
EXTENDED KILLER CROC INTRODUCTION
Killer Croc is a great lineament and one of the most enduring members of Batman ’s Rogues Gallery . It was therefore a bummer that his screentime in Suicide Squad was so truncated , particularly as Adewale Akinnuoye - Agbaje did a great job playing him . His basic setting is longer in the Extended Cut .
In the theatrical cut , we see the Belle Reve safeguard shed a butchered sloven into his cloaca cell and when he drops to eat it , the camera cuts to Amanda Waller eating a steak . In this version , we really see Croc cradle the bushed animal under his subdivision before pounce on it and loudly shoot into it with his teeth . endearing .
DIRECTOR DAVID AYER GETS A CAMEO
Writer / director David Ayer has shoot little cameos for a few of his previous movies . InTraining Day , which he drop a line , he is ' First Russian Hitman ' , and inStreet Kingshe is ' NLR Member in County Jail ' . He also appear briefly in Suicide Squad , though only really got the spotlight in the Extended Cut .
He is one of the guard run Croc and he inquires about the story going around that Croc act off the manus of another safety . Griggs ( Ike Barinholtz ) then identify that one of their fellow safety equipment has a ' vulcanized rubber ' prosthetic hand , mean the story is true ; get too faithful to Killer Croc and he ’ll take a piece of music of you with him !
CROC PUKES IN THE HELICOPTER
Killer Croc also feature in one of the best unexampled scenes in the Extended Cut , proving that even hulking reptilian cannibalistic criminal can have weak abdomen . When the squad is on the helicopter fly into Midway City for their mission , Captain Boomerang points out that Croc does n’t search so good .
He then continue to purge his guts up all over the floor of the helicopter , which Harley designates a ' party foul ' . It ’s a enceinte laugh and a nice character present moment for Croc , who has a sure likeability element to him despite being somehow who would be perfectly horrendous to encounter in substantial life !
THE ENTIRE SQUAD PLOTS WAYS TO ESCAPE FROM RICK FLAG’S CUSTODY
In the Theatrical Cut , Deadshot and Harley Quinn scheme for the villains to escape their minder Rick Flag . He tell her to ' spread the Holy Writ ' to their team , but we never actually see her do that . In the Extended Cut we do in reality see her inform Captain Boomerang . give that he is a gutless Sir Noel Pierce Coward who is always trying to run , he ’s on board .
Croc , who he attempt to argue with , is n’t , though . He shoves Boomerang into a pile of trash . El Diablo is also not a fan of the plan , as he has renounced fierceness or any use of his power , and says he wo n’t enter . It ’s a nice lineament building scene for Boomerang and El Diablo especially .
DEADSHOT AND RICK FLAG BOND
Rick Flag is the government agent sent on Task Force X missions to keep the criminals in business line . And , of all the criminals on the team , the one who Flag can relate to the most is Deadshot , who has his own ( perverted ) moral code .
In the Extended Cut there is a scene in which iris levels with Deadshot , telling him that if he meet his oddment of their peck , he ’ll get his exemption and money , and will see his girl again , no matter what Amanda Waller says . It shows that Flag is an ethical man and will stick to whatever was discussed , even if Waller tries to change the terms of deal or otherwise lord her mogul over Deadshot .
HARLEY PROCLAIMS HER LOVE FOR JOKER IN A FLASHBACK
In the theatrical cut , we learn snippets of a flashback in which Harley and Joker went for a free fall in a vat of livid goo in the Ace Chemicals plant . The extend cut not only present us more of that scene , but also a Pb - in one of Harley chamfer the Joker on her bike .
She crash it in front of his raging pink sports railroad car and declare her love for him , say that he ca n’t leave her . He says she ’s not part of his plan and intimates that he ’s not someone who should be loved , but she proves it to him anyway by scud an innocent hand truck - driving bystander . We then see that diving into the chemicals is her last test of loyalty to him .
HARLEY PSYCHOANALYSES THE SQUAD
In the movie , Harley Quinn calls Deadshot ' just another textbook sociopath ' , but that is about the extent of her psychoanalysis of her teammates . The Extended Cut commit us much more of Harley prognosticate back to her past as a psychiatrist but using her skills for evil ( or to bother ) .
She say Croc ’s mother emergence lead to his ill will and that he see the world as a sewer . She then motivate on to Katana and diagnose her completely incorrectly , saying that she wear out a mask to blot out who she is , as her father want a son but got a daughter . In a badass minute , she removes her mask , stares Harley in the face and says , " I am not hiding . "
THE BAR SCENE IS LONGER (AND FUNNIER)
It was disappointing when a lot of the jocularity and character moment glimpsed in bar scene in the trailers did n’t make it into the Theatrical Cut . This is remedied in the Extended Cut . The aspect is long and features the team commiserating over the ' remainder of the reality . '
Captain Boomerang hilariously come to to himself as more of an ' asset location specialist ' when Deadshot proposes a toast to ' honor among thief ' and El Diablo explodes with ira when Deadshot talk of his deal with Flag / Waller . He mocks Deadshot for believing they ’re anything more than patsies to be used for Waller ’s cover - up and believes Flag is only using Deadshot ’s daughter as a ' carrot on a stick ' .
RICK FLAG WAXES LYRICAL ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR JUNE MOONE
One of the most criticized component of Suicide Squad was the supposed romantic human relationship between Rick Flag and June Moone aka The Enchantress , who turned out to be the villain of the bit . There merely was n’t enough time to develop their bond enough to make it resonate with audiences and , while the Extended Cut does n’t make it put to work entirely , it does do a better job .
There is a picture in which Flag tells Deadshot he never conceive in true love until he met June , and this talk to Deadshot , who is driven to enter in the mission because of his love for his daughter . It ’s not much , but it’ssomething .
