Climax – the alien rampage through the cloning facility What happens: Adds 4 kills:
: One of the most significant fully deleted scenes features Patrick Ross (Justin Lazard) going home with a woman he met at a club. Upon discovering she is transsexual, he kills her.
When Species II first arrived on DVD, it was marketed with "unrated deleted scenes" hidden behind a parental lock. These scenes primarily consist of extended sequences that were trimmed to avoid an NC-17 rating or to keep the pacing tight.
: Screenwriter Chris Brancato has discussed reworking the film's final moments. The final theatrical ending involves Eve dying and being carted off in an ambulance, with a hidden hybrid child nearby and a hint that a new alien is about to burst from her. Where to Watch These Scenes
The deleted and alternate scenes for the 1998 sci-fi horror sequel Species II
After Press kills the alien in the White House clone lab What happens: Instead of the abrupt final shot of Press and the pregnant Dr. Baker (Marg Helgenberger), we see them driving to a remote farm. Press plants a shovel in the dirt—cut to a field of glowing alien pods growing underground. Final line: Press (voiceover): “Third time’s the species.” Why cut: Producers wanted a definitive ending. The studio feared the sequel hook was too obvious (though Species III happened anyway). How to view: Described in the original screenplay (dated May 1997). No footage shot.
