Probably not so much cutting the scene as edited so it tells the story better.
You should also remember that the scene with MacGyver leaning on the plan wing, isn't in any episode at all.
QUOTE | The same with Pilot bomb (in the episode the final 2 seconds is shown only on analog clock but in the theme there are digital) |
they are 2 different clips... remember the explosion changed to the fireball in the second episode, but the clock scene stayed the same...
So the 2 separate clips are taken from the same. it's just a little confusing in that first episode, because they used the explosion from the episode, and both the timer and the explosion are part of the same scene.
does that make sense?
I don't think they originally decided to make the opening credits purely from actual used footage from episodes. I think the idea is to portray what the show is about.
I think too that the TV stations edit little bits out here and there to make room for their commercial breaks (a little snip here, a little snip there and before you know it you have an extra 30 seconds for a commercial) so those scenes may well have been in the episode when it was shipped out to the TV station.
