After the project of creating an English dilaog on the German WS Cut. I was toying with some ideas.

A future ultimate fan cut. Like Fanfiltration stated " A re-cut must be done"

With all the cuts the deleted scenes and all the footage from the versions we have someone could create a exteneded cut and then from there retool it and refine it.

Some ideas -

Cut Ramerez and his plane ride. By just showing him on plane will be enough - need to cut all the scenes inside the plane ride including the dumb scene wherer the inflight info shows him a plane crashing and his reaction to it. That whole scene is a good example of trying to add humor by failing miserably.

Cut - All of the Katanas Goons Luaghter. I actually tried this years ago, just that added a lot to the film.

Cut - Katana telling hid goons dialog to go to Earth except the part where he says "go there, find him, Kill Him" and cuts the laughter of the goons.

Add - back in the scene where Katana steps on Brendas grave, I love how Katana toys with Connor in this scene.

Cut - Katanas Cab ride completly - everything specially Jerry Prichert. This scene is funny but adds nothing to the movie - i think it's an example of underesting the audience. I am sure Katana is capable of getting to the wherehouse for his battle fine and we really don't need to know how he got there, the scene just plain sucked. Plus, it would add to Connors entrance into the wherehouse, suddenly we here Katanas and we are like holy shit.

Oh ya!

Cut -on Katanas extrance when he has the famous 600 mile per- hour subway ride trims are needed here. cuts of the dash board showing the mph could be moved around to show only 200 mph shot of the dashboard. Also cut katana line " this isn't Kansas anymore"

Add - the full german cut version of Connor and Loiuses trip above the shield and what they see, this scene was sweet.. It shows them actually climbing to the top of the mountain.


These are jusy some examples that would improve he over=all quality of the film, anymore idea Fanfiltration or where you thinking the same thing?
