A thing that's quite unfortunate about Scene 145 (though I'm not quite sure if it even appears as Scene 145 in the 129 minute version of the film - but more on that later) is how heavily it's edited in the 94 minute version of the film - it was much more graphic in the 97 minute version in which it also appears as the start of Quentin's dream on his first night at Collinwood. But the good thing is that a good deal of the edited footage does appear in various trailers and even TV spots for the film, and I've made three videos to share it. But first up, here's how things play in the 94 minute version of the film (slowed down so as to better appreciate it):
And now here are three versions which vary from less explicit to most explicit (also slowed down to better appreciate them:
The least explicit, taken from a 30 second TV spot:
That version is also lightened because the footage was so dark originally, which is odd considering the footage in the other two examples is nowhere near as dark.
A more explicit version, taken from a 1 minute trailer:
And the most explicit and the best of the three, taken from a 2 minute trailer:
And something that I discovered after having slowed down the footage in the film - and something that only makes sense - but when it came to some shots with the real horse near Strack, a stunt double was used -
