Corrected entry: Even though he left production due to serious health problems, Buddy Ebsen actually does appear twice in movie in two different roles. First time he appears as Scarecrow (role for which he was originally cast) in first scenes with Dorothy. He is shown couple of times from behind. Second time he appears when Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion come to Witch's castle to rescue Dorothy. He plays Tin Man in all shots which shows three heroes from behind, including shot of them marching into castle.

King Kong (1933)
Corrected entry: The scene where Kong peels off Ann's clothes was censored from the original release for being too racy, but it was later restored. Also, when the sailors are being rolled off the log bridge they were supposed to fall into a pit and be eaten by giant spiders, but the scene was removed because it tended to scare audiences into walking out of the theatre.
Correction: The dress peeling scene was not censored from the original release. It was censored in later re-releases.

Correction: Not true. Ebsen was recast as the Tin Man before any footage was shot. And all of his scenes as the Tin Man were reshot after his departure. The hair, costumes, and makeup were all different from his time on the film so there would have been dramatic mis-matches.
