This edit made me enjoy the movie for once. It’s still kind of dumb but not “stupid” if that makes sense. All the little (and sometimes big) trims add up to a much snappier film. Everything between Marion’s intro and the jungle chase used to drag this movie horribly, that section is drastically improved with the omissions. I think Mutt works much better as a character now. Honestly I would have cut out as much as possible of the “ninja monkeyman cryptkeeper” fight in the cemetery and the scorpions as well. Cut too much stuff and I guess there’s nothing left, though.

I tried Spence’s edit which was not as extreme as 15MaF, his was well done but still had too much fluff for me, though he did improve the colors which ideally this version could use too. My applause again to all the editors out there.
