: Originally, Harrison Ford was going to have a small part in the movie as a school teacher, but his scenes were cut out because he called little E.T. an ugly little f@#k, then Spielberg went nuts and cut out his scenes (evidently Spielberg forgave him later so they could continue the Indiana Jones series). Despite this, it is rumored that you can see his back in some sequences, and I think I've spotted this. Watch E.T. LFM, so you can check out his back. (I'm quite surprised you never saw E.T., everyone has seen E.T. when they were little)

You folks may or may not know this already but the Harrison Ford sequence was included in the supplementary footage of the ET limited edition laserdisc set. The scene wasn't cut back into the film. It's very interesting- Elliot's principal (Ford) is lecturing him about drugs after his crack up during the freeing the slave-frogs scene. You basically see him in silhouette for the whole thing or from behind.
