* ExecutiveMeddling: The test screening of the film included a mild love scene [[spoiler:following Baby Doll getting knocked out by one of Blue's men while Sweet Pea escapes]] between Baby Doll and [[spoiler:the High Roller]] in his suite that is initiated by ''Baby Doll'' when he offers her freedom while in reality [[spoiler:she's getting lobotomized.]] The [=MPAA=] did not approve of it and wanted the scene cut down; Zack Snyder cut it down to the point that it looked like [[spoiler:the High Roller]] was taking advantage of Baby Doll, and the ultimately cut the scene altogether because that wasn't the message he wanted to give. However, the full uncut scene will be featured in the Director's Cut. In the original ending (that will not be included in the Director's Cut), [[spoiler:when the police shines his light on Baby Doll post-lobotomy, she starts singing "O-o-h Child," followed by the rest of the girls appearing, and they all sing it on stage before the curtains fall.]]

* DeletedScene: Almost 20 minutes worth on the special edition DVD. Extended fight sequences, the love scene, some more motivational speeches all cut, but almost always stated to make the movie better, more understandable, drill Zack's point home and generally make the film more mature and enjoyable.
** The love scene with the High Roller is also TheReveal so look for that one.
* DoingItForTheArt: ''Seriously''. The studio wanted the film post-converted to 3D, but Snyder refused. [[LegendOfTheGuardians He's done 3D before]], but he didn't film ''Sucker Punch'' for 3D, and he felt converting it would make an inferior film. What makes this especially odd is that he claimed not to know why he made such an odd film, saying ''That is basically my comment on the film as well. "Why are you making this movie? You need to make a movie more commercial. It shouldn't be so dark and weird."'' Which in an odd way drives home his point about the nature of the film. It's so personal and yet so universal it had to be made "For the art" of it.
