Columbia Pictures wanted the entirety of the climactic shoot-out cut from the film, due to its graphic violence. When Martin Scorsese became frantic that the studio was attempting to sabotage his film, he showed his friend, Steven Spielberg, the scene out of context without the rest of the film. Afterward, Spielberg agreed the scene was brilliant, and that cutting the scene would be detrimental. It was shortly after this meeting that Scorsese got the idea to de-saturate the color in the scene as seen in the final film.
