A cut considered too controversial included scenes with Ellroy and Wagner imagining a TV show where they would accompany celebrities to a hotel room and have sex, with Ellory revealing himself as a big fan of Emma Thompson's. Ellroy also refers to Barack Obama as a "fruit" and Wagner suggests raping an elderly woman passing by. The meeting with Rose McGowan also had a longer aftermath and on the last ride with the limousine, Wagner talks to Carrie Fisher on the phone to call off their visit as it is already too late.
