* "Navras" from ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions'' is a [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic chilling but energetic]] piece [[OminousLatinChanting with haunting Sanskrit lyrics]]. It's not played at all during the movie, it's played during the credits and the song is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9qqLrdOzDg 9 minutes long]].

** They recorded "This Moment" as a straight-forward fight song with the intention of putting it in a film. They chose ''Film/{{Transformers}}'', who played it for a few seconds, then later during the end credits, and not during the fight scene the band was probably hoping for.

* On the soundtrack album to ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'', the "Death of Optimus Prime" cue has an extra segment near the end that is not heard in the film, fostering the rumor that the scene was originally longer and had Optimus crumble into dust after death.

* The version of [[Music/DavidBowie "Diamond Dogs"]] performed by {{Music/Beck}} as heard in the film ''Film/MoulinRouge'' and the one available on the soundtrack album are very different from each other - The one in the film was performed and arranged entirely by Beck himself, but the one on the soundtrack album is a collaboration with Timbaland. Beck's solo version is only briefly heard in the film, where it gets drowned out by dialogue and sound effects, and eventually cut off entirely, and it's never been made available in full.

* ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic'' had its reprise of "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" shortened for the movie, then restored to its full length on the soundtrack. However, while the title song also experienced trimming during the transition to the big screen, its deleted portion (which Creator/JulieAndrews probably didn't even record) did not appear on the soundtrack.

* Music/TheBeatles relegated the otherwise unreleased "Can You Take Me Back?" to a brief snippet seguing "Cry Baby Cry" and "Revolution 9." The actual recording was a full three-minute song.

* The one-off ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers'' anime special ''Explorers of Sky: Beyond Time & Darkness'' have renditions of the track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP_AUhCJP6I "Through the Sea of Time"]]. The first, which plays when Grovyle, Chimchar and Piplup cross the boundary of the the ocean and head into the Hidden Land, is a fully orchestrated version of the track but with triumphant horns and drums added in. The second version, which plays when Grovyle suplexes Dusknoir, then suplexes him again through the portal to the [[BadFuture future]], is a fully orchestrated version of the track but it is played much slower pace, giving it a mournful instead of triumphant feel. Both pieces are played during sections where there is a lot of speaking and background noise, in addition, they only last a few seconds (22 seconds in the case of the first instance and roughly 10-15 seconds in the second instance).
