Prague (deleted scene)

Prague is the alternate opening scene from Cars 2.

There was an alternate opening to the film, which included an agent named Agent Heeley driving away from the bad guys in Prague. The agents catch up to him and try to destroy him but fail. The agent eventually finds a hiding place, which turns out to be a scrap yard. The bad guys find him and put him in a car crusher, which starts to crush him. Before dying, Zil comes and asks the agent, "Where is Finn McMissile?", to which he replies "You'll never catch him, he will stop you!", and then Zil replies, "Ha! We'll see about that.". , as the other bad guys watch as the agent gets crushed to death. The opening was removed because it was too dark and scary.

Agent Heeley

Trivia

• Some people think that the agent in this scene is Leland Turbo, in reality, Healey is an entirely separate character and the 2 are not each others' counterparts.
• Prague is the capital of Czech Republic.
• This is 1 of 2 deleted scenes where Zil makes an appearance, the other being Train to Spain
• The image of the moon reflected in the puddle at the beginning of the scene would have been the transitioning point from Luxo Jr's spotlight looking at the camera in the Pixar Intro
• Healey's computer projecting up from the end of his hood would be reused as a gadget for Holley Shiftwell in the final film
• So far this is the only scene in the Cars franchise to take place in Prague
• The setting of this scene could be a reference to the opening of Casino Royale (2006), which also begins at night in Prague with an agent's cover being blown (though it was Bond hunting a spy within MI6's ranks)
