A film that could probably do with a proper Updated Release would be the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie.
It seems Germany Got a decent release with Extra’s amd an alternate cut of the movie but there is still a few things hanging over the film which seem like it’s not been given the recognition it deserves for it’s low budget.
From what I can gather there is a desire for a Directors cut or extended cut. But also for the extra;s to be collected together also.
The cut’s seem to be as follows.
Old UK version uses Alternate Fottage which is sometimes better but sometimes worse.
The opening sequence was Shortened.
Shredder Punishing his foot soldiers
Scene with first meeting Casey Jones was cut down as it was meant to end in Alleyway.
April Drawing Michael Angelo was cut and him training on the punch bag
Aprils Apartment Fight Shortened
Training Scenes Removed from the Farm
Post Credit SCene Comic book sales pitch.
One More that I think probably deserves an extended Cut Is First Blood with Sylvester Stallone.
The TV Cut has some good extra dialogue and scenes but then the Flashbacks to the Vietnam dream sequence from the Deleted scenes also. The Initial Cut has been rumoured to be 3 hours and 30 minutes for which Stallone hated it. I can’t help but feel there would be some good stuff in there and although it is a film based on PTSD There is very little about actual Vietnam contained within the film which I feel that is really the root of what is substantially missing.
I think there could be an interesting in depth story to tell about the production on this film.
