Three-part movie with repeating script

You might be thinking of The Beaver Trilogy, (1979, 1981, 1985). It isn't the same script three times, but starts in 1979 as




a short documentary about the exploits of "Groovin' Gary", a performer
that filmmaker Harris happened upon while filming for a Salt Lake
City, Utah news station.




The 1981 version




features Sean Penn as "Groovin' Larry" Huff in a dramatic
interpretation of the original documentary. It incorporated some
scenes from the original documentary.




In the 1985 version,




Crispin Glover reprises Penn's role[...] The Orkly Kid was shot in
color film, is considerably longer in length and more
professional-looking than the first two acts, and also features a
number of new supporting characters and plot twists.




Harvey Keitel isn't in any of these either.
