Unbreakable - the scene where him and his son are just testing out the newfound strength by piling on more weight to the benchpress and he is just as shocked as anyone that he can just keep going. Really great, grounded approach compared to what a more 'standard' hero flick would do (throw a truck at him)

The deleted scene that they did was also good but they thought two weight lifting scenes was redundant (probably right).

For the pacing of each scene, yes it would have been too much running time spent on both scenes.

This scene was just fucking dumb to me tbh. The idea that someone who was a former college football player had "never benched more than 250" is ridiculous. Even in the year 2000, there were probably high school players stronger than that. I could maybe see that if he were a WR, CB, kicker, or punter, but based on his frame that is extremely unlikely to be what he was
