    I don't know what "am I made" means but, yes, it was "cut" into the movie.

    I'm not sure of your question - how else would the scene get into the movie?

    Wild Cargo had the jaguar (as I recall) and python fight. They were thrown together, starved, into a very large cage and then filmed. The entire scene is disgusting. I'm amazed that people still watch it.

    Yes, it's a caged fight.

    Go to the Internet Movie Database, The Internet Movie Database (IMDb). It contains a large database covering movies and TV shows of all varieties, and its search engine facilitates any number of approaches to deciphering a movie's title.

    2
    Click on the "Characters" option in the search window, then write the name of the character. This will take you to the character's home page, which ideally will have the name of the film itself. If the character appeared in more than one film (Sherlock Holmes, for example), there may be more than one movie listed. In some cases, there won't be a listing for the character, in which case you should return to the IMDB home page and start again.

    3
    Click on the "Names" option in the search window, then type in the name of the actor or director. You'll be sent to a page containing a list of all his work. Scroll through it until you find the name of the film you're looking for. This may take a little more work, but if you pinpoint the film name, you can be more assured that it's the right one. If you can't find it, go back to the IMDB home page.

    4
    Click on the "Plots" option in the search window, then type in key phrases connected to the plot. Examples of key phrases include "spy movie," "romance" or "explosions." Try to be as detailed as you can and include as many key phrases as you can. The engine will then take you to a list of plot summaries that include those key phrases. Sift through them until you find the one that matches your movie.

    For a few years, I was involved in editing movies and films, but not in a professional capacity (meaning I didn't get paid for my work). When an editor "cuts" a scene, it means the scene was either moved or REmoved (taken out).

    However, on the opposite end of the procedure, when a scene is added into an exisitng movie or film, the correct term is "splced." You cannot "cut" a scene into a movie, any more than you can "cut" to erect a tree!

    That was just for future reference, FYI.

    I made it simple for OP.

    Since I'm relatively new on this forum, I am not familiar with some commonly used terms on his site. So, may I ask, what does OP mean? And is there a place on this site where there are a list of answers to such questions? Thank you!
