The original cut was about 70 minutes long but only 36 minutes of the film survived. The 36 minute cut has been shown at several film festivals. It has never been officially released.
Urban legend holds that the film lost several reels in a lab fire. Collaborator Roger Avary sets the record strait: "The rest of 'My Best Friend's Birthday' wasn't lost in a lab fire. We just never finished it due to running out of steam. However, the footage from another film that Quentin starred in circa 1986, Lovebirds in Bondage, was ritually burned by the director, Scott Magill, who was embarrassed by the outcome, which included a wince-inducing Tarantino sex scene." 9 years 11 months ago -

Too bad half of the material was lost whilst editing. It certainly has some typical QT dialogues. 11 years 7 months ago
