It was originally to be released at the end of 1963, but was held back after the Kennedy assassination. There was also some recutting: Slim Pickens' line after going through the contents of the survival pack was originally "Fella could have a pretty good weekend in Dallas with all that stuff". After the assassination, this was overdubbed to "Vegas".

Also, the legendary pie fight was removed:







As was the line about Merkin Muffley (after being hit by a pie): "Our beloved president has been struck down in his prime!"



The pie fight sequence supposedly still exists, edited and scored, but the Kubrick estate refuses to show it publicly.
