Director's Cut?

Having heard that Jay Roach's first cut of "Austin Powers in Goldmember" was a whopping THREE hours, I couldn't help but wonder where all that additional footage turned up. I'm not talking about the infinifilm extras on the DVD. What I'd like to see are the scenes explaining Felicity's departure, Mustafa's new "four-question" rule and Number Two's real name. I've heard a lot about them. In fact, the official Austin Powers trivia game has several questions relating to the cut scenes (which I'm assuming someone got to see before it was chopped in half). So, pony up the director's cut already... whichever company owns the rights now!

Every movie's first cut is between 3-4 hours or so before it gets cut down to about 90-120 minutes. That's called the "suicide cut." They're not going to put out the "suicide cut" of this or they'd have to do it for every movie.
