Article in today's Seattle Times with the great Ned Ryerson : LINK
One particular change, Tobolowsky remembered, really set the tone for the movie. Originally, Ramis shot “a gigantic scene that took three days ... where Bill shaves his head into a mohawk, takes spray paint and paints graffiti all over the inside of his room, then he takes a chain saw and starts sawing the room in half.” It was an expensive scene, and Ramis, after consideration, quickly cut it. He replaced it with a much quieter, simpler moment: Murray, going to bed terrified, breaks a pencil in half and puts it on his radio. When he wakes up, the pencil is whole. The first time he watched the movie in a theater, Tobolowsky said, the audience gasped at that moment. “We expect a crazy Bill Murray movie ... and [Ramis] replaced it with visual poetry.”
