      • The rape of "Ursula" and the fight/chase sequence with the locals afterwards.
      • The fight with the vigilantes after meeting Marie-Ange.
      • Between getting a new car from the mechanic and looking for a doctor there's a sequence missing when Marie-Ange has sex with the mechanic.
      • Hitting and driving over the store detective.
      • The theft of two bikes from a farmhouse.
      • Jean-Claude having sex with Pierrot just before leaving the beach house (this is later referred to by Pierrot when he says: "You surprised me, you bastard!")
      • A longer sex scene between Jeanne, Jean-Claude and Pierrot after she starts to get down on Pierrot.
      • In-between cuts of Marie-Ange being "educated" by Jacques, while Jean-Claude and Pierrot wait and fish outside the farmhouse.
      • Jacqueline being "educated" by Jean-Claude, Pierrot and Marie-Ange.

    To dance a valse you need to be elegant, but going places you don't.
    Not so many people like the movies of Bertrand blier simply because they don't understand them. Simply because they are different kinds of people.

    If you have not been living under a deep desperation intertwined with great personal hope it may be hard for you to enjoy the humor blier shown here.

    And also the film of blier cannot be classified easily as black-comedy or cult etc. like those of pulp fiction etc. Because there is this delicacy which the audience of north-america frequently fail to appreciate.

    When I looked at these two `hooligans' dining with Jeanne moreau in the seaside restaurant, I felt they were more gentil than any gentleman can have been.

    The urge to make love wildly like these is the normal reaction we feel under the unbearable pressure of meaningless being-symbolized by the camion suddenly emerges at the Carrefour.

    SO, les valseuses is much better a name than going places. To dance a valse you need to be elegant, but going places you don't.
