(at around 2h 40 mins) When we last see Cal's bodyguard Lovejoy in the finished film, he is hanging onto the side rail of the Titanic as it is breaking in half, with the side of his head appearing quite bloody. A scene had been cut that explains how Lovejoy got to look so bloodied and disheveled. The existing scene where Cal chases Jack and Rose down the Grand Staircase, shooting at them and then running out of bullets (prior to realizing he gave his coat with the diamond in the pocket to Rose), was originally longer. Cal hands Lovejoy the gun and tells him that if he can get the diamond from Rose, he may keep it. Lovejoy then loads the gun and goes hunting for them in the dining room. Lovejoy's head gets bloodied when Jack catches him off guard, crashes Lovejoy's head through a glass window and roughs him up a bit before he and Rose run away. On the 3-Disc Special Edition DVD that includes the deleted scene, James Cameron states that preview audiences felt the additional action of the scene was unnecessary, since there was already an elaborate sinking in process. They also didn't buy the fact that Lovejoy turns into a murderous villain trying to get a diamond from Jack and Rose as the ship is sinking (and they're ALL liable to die anyway). Cameron decided to listen to the audience, and took out the scene over the protest of the other editors.
