Chase HQ 2 unused assets

Reading through some old Zzap’s when I spotted this intro screen from the preview of Chase HQ 2 on the C64. This screen apparently was meant for the intro sequence (accurately ported from the arcade), but looks like it was never actually used.

I have checked through the entire game and it wasn’t even used as an in-between stage screen or ending screen. Did they run out of cart space?

Then this was found in issue one of Commodore format, showing a person out of the car…

Somewhere out there could be a full recreation of the intro which didn’t make the cut. Sadly though Grant Harrison couldn’t recall anything about it, so why was it cut??
