Dumb and Dumber

Two friends from high school, Harry and Lloyd, live as roommates in Providence. They're both quite dim and can't hold a job for very long. Lloyd, while working as a limo driver, is hired to take Mary Swanson to the airport. He is instantly smitten with her and falls in love. He drops her off at the airport and he sees her leave her briefcase in the middle of the terminal. What he doesn't know is that the briefcase is full of money, a ransom payment, for her husband who was kidnapped. Lloyd interferes with the pick-up and tries to get the briefcase back to Mary before she gets on her plane. He is too late, so he and Harry travel across the country to Aspen, where Mary is headed. When they get there, Mary starts falling for Harry however and Lloyd gets jealous.

Continuity mistake: When Lloyd tackles Mary on the hotel stairs, she is wearing black pantyhose. By the time they get to the hotel room, she has miraculously changed into grey tights. (01:28:45)

Question: I live in the UK and I was watching this movie when it was broadcasted on T.V. When Harry is trying to fix Mary's toilet I could have sworn I saw Harry literally rip the toilet off the floor and tip the contents out the window and yet I have never seen this on the video or DVD. Could I just have been imagining it or does it have something to do with the American version?

Answer: This is a scene that was cut from the theatrical release of the film, but is present in the extended cut and some international DVD versions.
