“I think, to everyone’s credit, we used almost every single one of our scenes. There are there are three scenes I can think of that didn’t make the cut — two because they were too crazy and too raunchy,” she said.
“And if, you know, if you watch a movie, you’re like, what could those scenes be? It’s a lot. And one was, you know, sort of like the bookend piece to a certain tattoo you see in the movie… tattoo on a lady part. And the scene that cut was a tattoo on a boy part,” she teased.

“But then there was also a really special, heartfelt scene between the characters of Lolo and Kat,” she added, referencing the characters played by Cola and Hsu.
“Again, not because the scene wasn’t amazing and fantastic and will make you cry, but, you know, we just have like 110 minutes and something’s got to be cut,” she explained.
“Joy Ride” arrives in theatres on Friday, July 7.
