One Of Grace’s Funniest Lines Was Cut After Test Audiences Found It Too Harsh
Throughout the commentary track, Tim Miller notes that he also played a hand in writing and reshaping the dialogue to make it sound more natural or more appealing to him as a director. Whether it was making a line sound more realistic, in his view, or punching up the comedy, Miller made several tweaks. But apparently, there was one line that didn’t sit well with audiences and got scrapped, even though it was one of Miller’s favorites.
During the train sequence, when Sarah Conner says, “Fine, let someone else be Mother Mary for a while,” Mackenzie Davis’ Grace retorts, “If you’re Mother Mary, why do I so want to beat the shit out of you?” As it turns out, if Miller had his way, that insult would’ve been a lot sharper… and a lot harsher.
