Deleted Scenes

Deleted Scenes are shots or sequences removed from productions for various reasons such as running-time limits, dialogue revising, or general lesser need for a story's plot. In TUGS, many scenes and alternative dialogue intended for episodes were either completely cut out or revised. One of the biggest reasons for the account of deleted scenes in TUGS came down to the shrinking intentioned run-time. Early in production, episodes were going to be 30 minutes long, but shortened down to 20 minutes before scripts were finalized. Some of the episodes would be edited to be 20 minutes long, four of which would be released onto VHS six months before airing on TV (Sunshine, Pirate, Regatta and Munitions), but would end up being cut down to 15 minutes when broadcasted on TV and released on VHS for the remaining nine episodes.

Details of these deleted scenes however, have managed to resurface over several years in many ways. The Picture Books adaptions of episodes are the most well known way these scenes have resurfaced, featuring text describing or featuring promotional pictures from these missing scenes. Some deleted scenes being found via promotional pictures on various pieces of merchandise, such as VHS releases or trading cards. Other deleted scenes were only learned about by production materials, such as scripts, shooting schedules, behind the scenes pictures, and production videos such as workprints or a sizzle reel.

Sunshine

Although the 20 minute cut of this episode was released, an alternate version of this episode has been proven to exist, containing various scenes not present in either the 20 or 15 minute cuts of the episode.

A first version of the opening sequence. One containing an extended version of a shot of the port at night, showing various tugs docked near buildings facing away from the camera, as Ten Cents passes by towing a fuel barge. It fades out to an extended morning shot of the camera panning out from various tugs working to the Star Fleet waiting at the Star Dock. Brief snippets from these two shots are featured in both the 20 and 15 minute cuts, and the footage for it featured in a sizzle reel made for the series. The 15 minute script for the episode also references this shot as the opening scene, referring to Scene 1 as taking place at night.
A second version of the opening sequence, containing a montage of various locations, Upriver sequences, action scenes, sunrise/sunset shots, various characters and buoys, all leading up the extended morning panning shot of the Star Tugs waiting. This version is mentioned in a handwritten script for the episode.

Regatta (original title; Fourth of July)

Although the 20 minute cut of this episode was released, an original script for the episode titled "Fourth of July" features some extended and cut scenes not present within either 20 or 15 minute cuts. This script has been preserved by TUGS: The Exhibition.

A gloomy Lillie Lightship remembering what "that delicious" Hercules said about her being special for guiding ships away from the rocks.
Lillie was to have dialogue when the tramper rushes towards the rocks.
There was supposed to be dialogue when we first cut to the Star Dock, with Ten Cents and Warrior beckoning Top Hat to raise his head up and down again, with Top Hat complying.
After Captain Star tells Ten Cents and O.J. to go help Lillie, O.J. tells Ten Cents outside the Star Pier that he'll meet him out at Lillie after Ten Cents gets the timber.
After the previous scene mentioned, Captain Star tells the tugs their jobs for the day: Top Hat with car ferries, Warrior with garbage, Sunshine to collect the special barges, and Big Mac to take cement barges to the Naval Yard, with Ten Cents to later join him.
After Ten Cents demands that he needs the timber barge, Zorran decides to let him have it. Afterwards, Zorran scolds Zip for not paying attention.
After Grampus makes his remark about the Navy at Lucky's Yard, Lillie has an extra piece of dialogue ("I wish I could do more than just say thank you to them all.").
Ten Cents and Big Mac have some extra dialogue before Bluenose comes along, with Big Mac asking Ten Cents to tell him more about that morning.
After O.J. tells Ten Cents that they'll need to move fast, Top Hat as an alternate piece of dialogue ("Get on with your work."). Right after O.J. tells Top Hat that they'll need him as well, Sunshine was to follow up with a piece of cut dialogue ("And get on with your work as well."). In the final 20 minute cut, Sunshine only makes a brief cameo at the end of a shot, cutting away as Sunshine's fender appears on screen.
Right after the previous scene mentioned, Zorran, Zug and Zip make remarks about Lillie being in dry dock, and thinking that she deserves it. Zip then spots Ten Cents heading towards them again.
Ten Cents tells Zorran that he needs the logs for naval purposes. After Zorran questions this, Ten Cents offers Zorran two of his barges for the logs, in which Zorran takes the deal. The three are now more suspicious of Ten Cents, and decide to follow him.
After the logs are blown up, the tugs cheer about saving Grampus ("We've made it. Grampus, you're saved.").
At some point during the Regatta Parade, Warrior messes up the procession.
That night, after the Regatta Parade, Warrior apologizes about messing up, with Top Hat not minding it after having a wonderful day. O.J. then tells them they have one last thing to do, where they follow him to Lucky's Yard. In both final cuts, footage of this scene is mixed in the final scene at Lucky's Yard.

Warrior (original title; Warrior's Longest Day)

Despite being released as a 15 minute cut, a workprint of the extended cut of Warrior (with its original title) is owned by TUGS: The Exhibition, who has shown it privately to patrons at their special events. In October of 2022, footage of the workprint leaked online. The picture book adaptation of Warrior (also with its original title) is seemingly based on a slightly early draft of the extended cut.

A deleted opening scene where Warrior pulls up next to a coal dust covered Big Mac, with the two talking about the rock contract and Big Mac going for a washdown (Warrior: "I've been up since 3 'o' Clock this morning").
Izzy Gomez has some alternate dialogue when Warrior asks if he wants a tow ("I have all thees' daylight and the sea, she calmer than mañana.")
Zip challenges Ten Cents to a strength contest in pulling down the old buildings. He convinces Ten Cents to go first, where he fails to pull it down, leaving him worn out. When Zip tries, the building falls down for him (this is because Ten Cents managed to loosen the superstructure, which was Zip's plan all along), with him claiming a petty victory. Footage from this is briefly used for various scenes in the final cut.
Sunshine and Pearl having some general chatter before Warrior arrives.
When Warrior leaves the Estuary (originally called the Oyster Beds), he passes by Top Hat and Lord Stinker, approaching Sunshine. Top Hat complaining about Warrior's clumsiness, and asking why Captain Star keeps him around. Sunshine points out that without Warrior, Top Hat would be stuck with garbage work more often. Top Hat, embarrassed, complains as usual.
An early version of the scene above, where Warrior leaves, and long tow rope causes the barge to nearly hit Sunshine and Pearl, who reverse just in time to avoid the barge hitting them. It does end up snapping one of Little Ditcher's legs. Afterwards, Top Hat comes in, with Lord Stinker. He complains about Warrior's clumsiness and that Captain Star should fire him. This can be seen in the picture book.
A montage of Warrior doing a couple of jobs before he heads back to the Quarry, one shot of which being an alternate angle from High Tide.
Early version of the Z-Stacks passing Izzy Gomez, where Zorran startles him by saying they're the dock police. Can be seen in the picture book.

At some point, Grampus tells Warrior that Captain Star wants to see him. Can be seen in the photobook, but absent in the 20 minute cut workprint.
When Grampus surfaces next to Big Mac, he has some dialogue not heard in either the workprint or final episode ("I think Warrior's in trouble. Captain Star told me to send him in."). This is featured in the picture book.
Zak was originally going to have a speaking role in the episode ("Wouldn't need much of a wave to sink it..."). Seen in the picture book.
After Zebedee comments on how devious Zorran's plan is, Zebedee and Zak tell Zorran that they need to go fill up on water, with Zorran scolding the two for not doing it earlier.
Zug has some alternate dialogue after Zip says they need to help Ten Cents ("Exactly. He'll get into a mess and then we can rescue both of them and get twice the reward!"). Zip is impressed by his craftiness.
At the Star Dock, Captain Star tells Warrior to be more careful and to not cause anymore accidents. Can be seen in the picture book, but absent in the 20 minute cut workprint.
After Big Mac's barge sinks, Grampus resurfaces, saying that the load has been lost and that it was coming back up. It resurfaces right underneath Big Mac, getting him stuck on the barge ("Help me off'a this thing!").
Lord Stinker was originally going to have a line of retaliation after Izzy Gomez complains about his smell ("Ugh, you can talk! Rotting melons!").

The Coast Guard has some alternate dialogue when he tells Izzy Gomez about his fine ("Coming in without a tow means a $500 fine!").

Quarantine

This episode currently has four known versions of the episode with alternate content from its final 15 minute cut.

One version as a subplot of an early script for Railhead, where Ten Cents and Sunshine help an out-of-control launch. As Sunshine takes the launch back to dock, Ten Cents goes with O.J. to try and beat the Z-Stacks to the Schooners.

Another version is the sticker book, O.J.'s Bad Day, where Burke and Blair try to convince Captain Star to sell O.J. to them for scrap when his engine starts acting up. Ten Cents meanwhile saves O.J. from being hit by a ferry, and O.J. saving Ten Cents from sinking with his now broken barge.

The third version is the annual story adaptation, where Ten Cents, Sunshine and O.J. are awaiting ships to be cleared from the harbor mouth, with Zorran spying on them. O.J. send Sunshine to look out for any ships, and he runs into Nantucket, who puts his checkered flags down as he arrives. Zorran suddenly thens speeds past Sunshine to Nantucket. Confused, Sunshine reports this to the Coast Guard, and later tells the others about it at the Star Dock.

The fourth version would be the final version of the episode that was actually filmed, and in its original 20 minute length. Any scripts from this version have yet to surfaced, with only shooting schedules and pictures of it publicly available.

These following scenes are taken from the sub-plot version in the Railhead script:

Ten Cents and Sunshine notice an out-of-control launch out in the bay, heading towards a ferry. The two switchers would've safely guided it to shore, landing and stalling on a mudbank, to the praise of the ferry (promising to tell everyone and the authorities of their bravery). Sunshine is told to take the launch back to the dock, while Ten Cents goes to meet O.J.
The rescue would've made Ten Cents late for schooner pickups, to the frustration of O.J.; he warms up after noticing how disappointed he was and after hearing the ferry rescue.
Zorran would've had Zip and Zug come along, and all three would've been quarantined for twenty-four hours after buttoning onto a quarantined schooner.

These following scenes are taken from O.J.'s Bad Day:

O.J.'s engine failing near the Fultan Ferry, happens in front of a liner, with Ten Cents pushing him out of the way, just as it hits his barge. Ten Cents and his barge start to sink.
Meanwhile, Burke and Blair have their first go to Captain Star. Top Hat is present, who seems to be in protest of the idea. Captain Star says he’ll think about it.
As Ten Cents starts sinking rapidly and he can’t cut his rope free. O.J.’s engine starts to work again, and he shoots forward, cutting the rope just in time before the barge sinks.
Burke and Blair are already present at the Star Dock when Ten Cents and O.J. arrive.

These following scenes are taken from the annual story:

O.J. warning Ten Cents and Sunshine to keep clear of all ships, with Zorran watching in on them.
Sunshine, after waiting awhile with O.J., decides to go out and see if any ships have gotten any clearance, with Zorran watching and deciding to follow.
When Sunshine goes out to find a tramper to pull in, Zorran decides to speed past him to Nantucket first, making rude remarks to Sunshine.
On his way back, Sunshine asks the Coast Guard if Nantucket was given clearance, where he finds out that he's still waiting for inspection.
Sunshine meets back up with O.J. and laughs to him about Zorran very likely landing himself in quarantine.

The following scenes were actually filmed for Quarantine, but due to most of these originating from shooting schedules only listing character props, it leaves out the contexts of these scenes, leaving it only up to speculation as to what context most of these scenes had.

An extended briefing scene which would've featured Big Mac. A close-up shot of O.J. may have been reused in the 20 minute cut of Sunshine.
Top Hat and Warrior right next to Kraka-Toa, who has one side of her hull heavily burnt after the fire in Munitions.
A scene with Sunshine and the Coast Guard interacting, being near to where the Schooners are at.
Two more scenes at the Ferry Pier after the Fultan Ferry sinks, one of which has Grampus appear before the Fire Chief arrives.

A second scene of Burke and Blair at the Star Dock, with no presence from any of the Star Tugs.
A deleted shot of Ten Cents with an angry expression, with rope on his deck and Sunshine with a shocked expression.
Several scenes with more appearances of Warrior and Big Mac, as well as a handful for Zip.

A scene of Top Hat with various small boats somewhere near the Star/Zero piers and passing by a fog buoy at some point before his encounter with the White Fleet. Mentioned in a shooting schedule and seen in a promotional picture in the picture book.
A shot of the drawbridge at night, with fog present and Top Hat nowhere to be seen. This shot would be reused as apart of the intro only on the English VHS releases of the officially released 20 minute episodes.
When O.J. is going through the Crane Inlet, he sees a ghostly lookalike of Big Mickey named Snatcher. When he looks at the crane again, the face has disappeared.
The White Fleet passing by the Star Dock after Burke and Blair pass by with the Galleon. Mentioned in the picture book.

Jinxed (original title; Jinxed Tug)

Although Jinxed was only released as a 15 minute cut, some deleted scenes from the extended cut were featured within a Sizzle Reel made for the series. Additionally, the picture book adaptation of Jinxed is seemingly based on a slightly early draft of the extended cut.

When Ten Cents and Sunshine attempt to take Boomer into Port, Boomer gives more protests about being taken to Port.

As Ten Cents and Sunshine try towing Boomer to Lucky's Yard, Boomer starts to slowly sink in the water. They try to move further, but Boomer ends up sinking shortly after, Ten Cents and Sunshine remove their lines on him.
Sunshine has some alternate dialogue when Boomer lands on a sunken barge ("He's come to rest on the old rubbish barge that sank a few weeks ago,").

Unused shot of Ten Cents approaching Boomer with his smirking face.
Deleted shot of Sunshine looking at Boomer with disgust.
Several deleted angles of Boomer being surrounded by cranes.

Some days later after the accident at Lucky's Yard, Captain Star has a briefing with his tugs informing them that he'd lent Boomer to Captain Zero. He also revealed the reason why Boomer sank was because his stopcocks were left wide open and there was nothing found wrong with his engine. A shot from this scene is reused in the intro for the 15 minute cuts.
Boomer is sent to work with Big Mickey at the ironworks as Ten Cents and Sunshine pass by. Ten Cents whistles to Boomer as he pushes a barge towards Big Mickey just as he's lifting a huge load of steel girders. Big Mickey's engine suddenly hiccups, which causes his hawser to snap and drop the load. The heavy load damages the barge and sinks it.
Boomer's jinx causes him to lose control of Izzy and ram him, sending him crashing into a dock with a little yellow warehouse and a fuel barge, causing an explosion. Footage from this scene can be found in the Sizzle Reel.
Zip and Zug were to tease Boomer in unison as he leaves, instead of Zak. This is still referenced in the 15 minute script.
After the previous scene, Sunshine tells Boomer not to take any notice of the Z-Stacks.
Before Ten Cents and Sunshine test out Sunshine's theory that Ten Cents' whistle causes Boomer's jinx, Boomer tells them that Captain Star had ordered him to be a standby fog horn.

High Winds

Captain Zero has a briefing with his tugs, ordering them to look for salvage work. He also tells them that Johnny Cuba is coming into Bigg City Port and orders them not to do any dealings with him.
Ten Cents and Sunshine deliver fuel to Lillie Lightship, who draws their attention to Johnny Cuba anchored nearby and remarks that he doesn't seem sociable. Sunshine approaches Johnny and offers him a tow, but Johnny tells Sunshine to scram. Sunshine quickly moves away, but was unaware that the Coast Guard had been watching him. The footage from this scene was reused and redubbed for Regatta’s opening (Furthermore proven by an early script of it displayed, showing the episode was initially supposed to open directly with Lillie mentioning how special Hercules said she was for guiding ships away from the rocks).
As Ten Cents and Sunshine head back to the harbour mouth, the Coast Guard catches up with them and asks Sunshine what his business was with Johnny Cuba. Not knowing much about Johnny, Ten Cents and Sunshine ask the Coast Guard if he was in some kind of trouble. The Coast Guard tells them that he believes Johnny was on one of his smuggling runs, but had nothing definite on him and couldn't search him because he was outside the harbour limits. As the Coast Guard heads back to keep an eye on Johnny, O.J. steams up to Ten Cents and Sunshine and orders them to pick up Scuttlebutt Pete to clear the bay for ships that need shelter.
Warrior tows Sally Seaplane back to her hanger when the wind becomes too strong for her to fly. She tells Warrior she saw Hercules towing in the Princess Alice.
Zebedee was to have extra dialogue after asking Ten Cents why he should help keep Scuttlebutt Pete steady ("Zorran'll kill me.").
When Zebedee heads to the estuary a second time to look for salvage work, he spots Princess Alice in the distance before he hears the Coast Guard crying for help.
While docking Princess Alice, O.J. sounds an emergency whistle for help.
After Johnny Cuba is taken to the authorities, Captain Zero scolds Zebedee for helping the Star Tugs with Princess Alice. Then he scolds his other tugs for not getting any salvage work and orders them to get out of his sight. Before the Z-Stacks leave, the Coast Guard arrives and tells Captain Zero he wants to talk to him about Johnny Cuba. Captain Zero tells the Coast Guard that he'd ordered his tugs to stay away from Johnny, but the Coast Guard informs him that Zebedee hadn't. This makes Captain Zero angry, and is about to tell Zebedee off for disobeying his orders when the Coast Guard informs him that Zebedee and Hercules had brought Johnny Cuba in and because of that he assumed that Captain Zero had nothing to do with Johnny. Captain Zero immediately changes his tune and claims that he was just saying that Zebedee was a credit to his fleet. The Coast Guard then thanks Zebedee for his help and heads off across the harbour.
A shot of a ship and a bridge in the sunset, but Zebedee is not shown. Reused in Jinxed and Quarantine. Also, in the Quarantine version of the shot, the fender of Ten Cents is shown at end.
