I was not aware of the extra Kurgun line in the church I will check it out. Did you try the cit music here?

Seems to me that it was a 2 hour slot was agreed running time. When factoring in the Lost deleted Kurgun fight in the office and a comedy nightclub scene with bedsoe coming to see conner and fasil in the club. If the material was available for those what would be swapped in or out?

I would say from this 70mm cut the Rachel scene is a complete certainty for inclusion as would be the extended fight scene at the end. I could however imagine the wrestling scenes and the US version has more extra wrestling in it. Would probably fall away in some way choice cuts. And The extended ending seems pretty lame but would have been good for extra Connery voiceover dialogue.

I think that would be Russell Mulachy cut to be honest had these 2 other scenes survived.

The lost Kurhun fight in the office had a lot going for it as the guy he fought was having issues of being immortal.I think it is in the Novel and there are stills for the scene. Also in the Novel was a detailed backstory for the Kurgen which would have been interesting juxtaposed against connors immortal history.

The nightclub scene was just a gag for levity it would seem.

Good work though I found the music over the extended fight intetesting.

I was wondering if the acoustic instrumental version of “who wants to live forever” was intended for Rachel and connors extended goodbye scene? That would then be a reason for that music being written.

The missing effects for Kurgun quickening killing Ramirez is another thing. The lightning element that strikes the rock is in Queen music video with black matte. The build up however is not I have 2 fan recreations of what might have been. Had effects got completed.
