Conclusion
If you are looking for a specific Cracked.com article, it is likely an archived listicle discussing the TV edits or behind-the-scenes trivia. If you are looking for the actual footage, only the TV alternative takes (dubbed profanity) and production stills of the climax are widely available to the public. The "Lost Scenes" remain largely lost.

Fans have spent years looking for the "Cracked" vault footage of these extra kills. 4. Jack’s Increasing Decay
