Deleted Scene

 * A Deleted Scene from the original Draft shows Sulley and Boo in her room playing and talking about what has happend lately.
 * A Scene where Mike screams his eyebulb out after one of Boo's Bullies punches him, This scene was apperantly too scary for kids and was instead replaced with Mike falling backwards and saying "OWWWWWWWW! MY BACK"
 * A similiar scene to the first deleted one was to be used in the final draft where when Boo falls down a cliff and Sulley thinks she's dead unique scenes from his other meetings with her would be instead of scenes with him and Boo from the first movie this was changed since it was a direct sequel to the first.
