Beyond the Roid Rage: Unearthing the Exclusive Deleted Scenes of Species II (1998)
When Species II hit theaters on April 10, 1998, it was met with a specific kind of mid-90s sci-fi schlock charm. Directed by Peter Medak (The Ruling Class) and produced by MGM, the sequel to the 1995 cult hit traded Natasha Henstridge’s slow-burn alien seduction for Justin Lazard’s hyper-aggressive, steroid-fueled rampage as the hybrid male, Patrick Ross.

2. Deleted Eve Lab Escape (alternate version – 90 sec)
Context: Eve (Natasha Henstridge) awakens in the lab. The theatrical version has her escape quietly. The deleted version shows her using seduced security guards to unlock her pod, then killing them — a callback to Sil’s manipulative sexuality.
Why cut? Deemed too similar to Species I; also graphic sexual violence worried test audiences.
