The title is a little misleading: there is no "lost version" of Pee-Wee's Big adventure. This video simply calls itself that and details scenes either deleted from the movie or never filmed. I'm glad I watched it anyway, since it's well-made and not only gives some good commentary on these scenes but on the movie itself, but it took me a bit to get past my desire to find out about this "lost version" and see if I could simply download and watch it.
The series is called "Lost version of [movie name]", and he has made several episodes of it now. And sure they're generally not truly about a "lost" (misplaced/destroyed/impossible to find)...
The series is called "Lost version of [movie name]", and he has made several episodes of it now. And sure they're generally not truly about a "lost" (misplaced/destroyed/impossible to find) version of the movie, and instead mostly about deleted scenes, workprint scenes, or scenes only written about in the script that were never even filmed. However a few did actually talk about "lost" versions of the film, like with The Goonies where the original TV edit (which is impossible to find now) included a bunch of scenes not included in the theatrical cut, and vice versa.

As a fan of the channel, this is one where the title is inadvertently click-baity. The channel first did one of these on 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation,' detailing how all of the deleted scenes being incorporated would have created a different movie, not just one that was longer or a bit better, worse, etc. This has kind of become the theme behind this title, as they cover movies like 'The Goonies,' 'Home Alone,' and 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles,' the latter of the three being my favorite (and even ended up getting a new release with 70 minutes of bonus footage).
I'm glad to know you enjoyed the video, and would encourage you to check out the rest of these!

I rewatched Pee-wee's Big Adventure a few months ago after Paul Reubens died. And while I'm a bit biased since it was one of my favorite zany/slapstick/immature comedy movies growing up (along with Ernest Goes to Jail), IMO it actually has held up surprisingly well. So if you enjoy the Pee-wee Herman character, Paul Reubens sense of humor, and you haven't seen the movie (or it's been a long time since you last watched it), I highly recommend checking it out. It's zany, over-the-top, insanely fast-paced, and incredibly amusing.
p.s. I had no idea that Phil Hartman (RIP) was one of the writers for Pee-wee's Big Adventure before watching this video. Neat.
Fun fact: I almost married Ernest (Jim Varney) second cousin! Unfortunately she was a McCoy, and I was a Hatfield. Totally true (although the hatfield mccoy thing is pretty distant).

I also grew up with Pee-wee's Big Adventure. I guess my mom would turn the "breakfast machine" scene on any time she needed a few minutes to herself, because my sisters and I would be glued to it. But as a kid I watched the whole movie (minus the Large Marge and scary clown parts!) so many times that I could pretty much recite it from memory. I've been a little afraid to watch it again, fearing that it wouldn't hold up, and have sort of been waiting until my son is old enough to watch it with me before watching it again. But after watching this, it's clear how well the movie has held up. I should watch it again soon. I bet I have some more grief over Paul Reubens to get out, too, and I bet that would help.
