Both the 5.1 and mono tracks have the original oldies tunes on the "Double Secret Probation Edition" released a few years ago. As far as I know, there wasn't even a non-anamorphic DVD. The first edition was pan & scan, mono, and bare-bones. Then, there was a collector's edition in 16x9, but unconverted from the widescreen laserdisc transfer (also still mono). The "Double Secret Probation Edition" is a brand new 16x9 transfer with 5.1 and mono tracks. As far as I know, none of these discs had altered sound mixes.

The new film "ROCKY BALBOA" is ariving soon, and so far reviews and word of mouth is that this ROCKY is going to be a KNOCK OUT.

I was thinking about how kewl it would be if someone here was able to edit Rocky 2, 3, 4, and 5 into one big movie that would bridge the original Rocky and this new film.


A Rocky project could definitely be kewl. (Although Rocky V could probably be mostly avoided...)

We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

Interesting. I guess then that its possible that only some PAL versions have been modified.

I know that this is alittle off the wall, but how about cutting some of the more interesting adventures of Apollo and Starbuck from the entire first BSG together and calling it the The Adventures of Apollo and Starbuck.

Or

Even stranger - The Book of Gallactica - And put all of the referrences to teaching of the Mormon Church. the Subtitle track could give BSG terms and then the LDS Church refference that it ties into.

I guess "Davytod" and/or "Kaydon_Sentry" would be most likely able to help and advise. They're the ones that have done this sort of thing before.

This would rock!!

I know that this is sacrilege, but bear with me. About fifteen years ago, some friends and I were watching Taxi Driver and it struck me that the entire experience of the film could be changed with one minor edit. The entire feel-good ending could be turned into a daydream and leave people walking out of the theater in a much darker mood.

I don't know, it might be too subtle to even worry about, but just keeping the movie in it's entirety until just before the credits roll, then flash back to Travis on the floor, surrounded by cops falling in and out of consiousness, fade to black, mix in audio of gunshots, roll credits. Therefore making the happy ending (which always seemed a little surreal) no more than a hallucination Travis has just before an unseen final gunfight.

Sorry if my suggestion of tinkering with this incredible movie offends anyone, it's just something that occurred to me.

Well, the ending of Taxi Driver already raises the question of is it or isn't it? so an edit would be unnecessary. It's all a matter of interpetation.

"RETURN TO CASINO ROYALE"
http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/6/63/180px-DavidNiven.jpg

This is the pitch Boys & Girls....

Now we take the 1954 T.V. Version and somehow inter cut it with the 1967 Version...

There is the part in the 67 spoof where Orson Wells is looking through a periscope, and it could be made is if he is viewing the 1954 black and white stuff. The editor could cross fade some of the 1967 footage into black and white to better cross fade into the 54 footage. The only good parts of the 54 version are the card game, and the interrogation of bond for the bank check. The story would have to be reworked for the 67 version and a lot of stuff just cut out. It would have to be a creative story that can blend the two together. And I don’t see why Barry music could not be placed it as well. There is also some vintage tv show footage and behind the scenes clips that could be also intercut into this. There is a very kewl mid 60’s tv documentary on the background of James bond’s early life. Put that in as the films start, and then blend into the Old sir James.. oh it could work!

Also, You could use footage of sellers from his other 1960's films where he could pass as the same look... Blackstone Audio Books had a great version of the book, and a professional sounding voice narration could be placed at gaps in story to kind of montage between scenes if need be.

I wish I could do this!!!!

I would very much like to see an edit of "Tombstone" with the Dana Delany character minimized (or removed) as much as possible, especially in regards to her romantic subplot with Wyatt Earp. Anyone interested in "Tombstone De-lanyfied"?

i always interpreted the ending of taxi driver to be a final day dream before travis passes away. i think a lot of people do.
I'm always looking to trade my edits, if you don't want to get them from a torrent. PM or e-mail!

Casino Royale ('67) has been bugging me. I actually tried toying around with an edit, but I quit. The movie's a mess, but it's an interesting mess. Just different segments cobbled together. But I've been thinking I should get back on it. Nothing radical. Just make it more straightforward and coherent. Though this has proven a difficult task. Especially with the last act. Once Peter Sellers disappears completely from the film, it's a doozy of nonsense.

Dunno if this could be done or not, but I would love a 1:85:1 enhanced version of the extened tv cut of First Blood with the violent footage from the theatrical version put back in.

UPDATE:

Would love a "director's cut" of Batman Forever as well.

I'd like to see an edit of A Prairie Home Companion minus the death sub plot. I really enjoyed the original, I just wonder how it would play with out it.

With all this added interest in Rocky at the moment would anybody be interested in a little edit of III, IV and/or V?

In III Stallone had originally intended for the film to feature Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust", where “Eye of the Tiger” now is. I’d like to see the film with the Queen track.

IV was the only movie of the series not to begin with the moving "Rocky" logo and Bill Conti music score. That I’d like fixed and have “Gonna Fly Now” over the training montage.

Also in V I’d like most of the horrible early 90’s music removing and replacing with more of Bill Conti’s music.

This is a huge thread so I didn't read it but I have one just-for-fun edit, one nitpicky edit and one EXTREMELY nitpicky edit.

I like the first Transporter quite a bit, and I am still baffled as to why Fox's double-dipped "Special Delivery Edition" wasn't an "Unrated" cut that restored all the fight scenes. On the DVD they're rough, but maybe someone could make them look better, and then cut them into the film. The sequence on the bus, particularly, was one I am still disappointed is not in the film in its entirety.

The second is Ong-Bak -- not a great story, but a spectacular showcase of martial arts and much better than the follow-up, The Protector/Tom-Yum-Goong. However, I watched a pirate of the foreign version for the longest time, until it broke, and when I picked up the 20th Century Fox version, I hated the soundtrack. I also think the American version is edited. I'd like to see a version with the original music (perhaps some edits could be done to make the story more palatable, but it's not THAT bad).

Lastly (and most obsessively) I also watched Oldboy on a foreign import, and later got both Tartan USA releases. There are a handful of subtitle things about the Tartan USA release that bother me, most importantly the repeated line "Even though I'm no better than a beast, don't I have the right to live?" On the foreign DVD, it was "Even though I'm no more than a monster, don't I have the right to live?", and the term "monster" is used in multiple places throughout the film, so I think to change the line is doing damage to a thematic line through the film, and to see it, and various other things restored would be great.

Awesome! A fan edit request thread. Guess it's time for me to stop lurking here and join in. There are a number of dream projects I'd love to do, if I had a equipment at home to do it. Anyone who is interested in working on one of these, please let me know. These films are long overdue for an overhaul.


1) HIGHLANDER: THE EPIC SAGA
As any viewer of the Highlander movies knows, it's really the only film "series" where each sequel seems to be set in its own internal universe. Supposedly the upcoming fifth film will actually follow up on the fourth, but those two are based on the TV version anyway, rather than the original film that started it all. I envision a massive re-edit that would re-arrange the first four movies in chronological order, and fix the flow of events so they all follow a massive storyline spanning from the 1500s to the 21st century. (Obviously this would require chopping out a great deal of the Highlander II storyline, changing the "Conner dies" ending of Highlander IV), etc. The final result would probably look like a 6 1/2 hour epic miniseries. Materials for this edit would include the Director's Cut of Highlander I, all three versions of Highlander II, both versions of Highlander III, and Highlander IV with all the extended scenes -- plus maybe some footage from the pilot episode of the TV series to establish the relationship between Conner and Duncan. There would need to be a reworking of the musical score to be internally consistant throughout the saga and perhaps some new title cards to move from time period to time period. Highlander I and Highlander IV's "flashback" scenes, though filmed 14 years apart, would probably match up pretty well since they recreated the same time period convincingly.

2) ROBOCOP 3: IN THE RAW
The third Robocop movie, reworked and re-edited to be a brutal, gritty, R-rated film like the first two. I believe such a concept was mentioned earlier in this thread. It might need some cut scenes from the first two Robocops to give it teeth, along with extra stuff from the 2000's Robocop TV mini-series.

3) Anne Rice's THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES: THE PURIST EDITION
Inspired by The Lord of the Rings Purist Edition, this would rework the movies to more closely follow the book. Interview with a Vampire would need some minor changes and new footage, but obviously Queen of the Damned would require a huge undertaking to completely alter the movie from the ground up. For starters, it would be split into two parts, "The Vampire Lestat" and "Queen of the Damned", so we'd have a trilogy of tales. All the delete scenes AND music videos on the DVD would have to be available just to have enough footage, and this would also require additional voice over work, text, music, and rearrangment of scenes and dialogue to fit the novel. You could even use stock footage of Brad Pitt so "Louis" makes a brief apperance in the sequels like he's supposed to. This re-edit would also have to link "Interview with a Vampire" to "The Vampire Lestat" so it actually feels like a followup story. Perhaps there could be a musical device, like "Sympathy for the Devil" used for the end of one film and the start of another, and then "Don't Fear the Reaper" used to link the end of "The Vampire Lestat" to "Queen of the Damned"

4) BATMAN BEGINS: A PREQUEL
As mentioned earlier in this forum, a "reworking" of Batman Begins to make it a prequel to Tim Burton's Batman series. Danny Elfman score, Carmine Falcone becomes Carl Grissom, the plot is reworked so Sgt. Gordon does not discover Batman's identity, etc. etc.. For those of you who scream that it's not meant to be a prequel, duh. Watch the original version of the movie. Some of here would like to imagine "what if?"

5) BATMAN & ROBIN: REIMAGINGED
Not what it sounds like. Most of this movie is actually Batman Forever, reimagined as a proper, more faithful sequel to "Batman Returns" with a Burtoneseque gothic mood and score. The film is even color corrected to remove the damn neon and retitled "Batman & Robin", with a few decent things from the real "Batman & Robin" (hopefully the De-Assified version) added for length." Like the "Batman Begins" prequel, this is to remove the Schumacher influence so the movie comes across as a Burton flick.

6) SCARY MOVIE 2.5 - UNCUT & UNCENSORED
The worst of the Scary Movie films is given a facelift and brought up to the standards of the Uncut third and fourth film. The unfunny scenes are removed, the funny cut scenes are added, the ending is changed, the whole film is corrected so the plot is actually coherant.

7) SAMARA: THE RING 2
The craptacular America version of "Ring 2" is recut and altered to resemble it's Japanese counterpart more. Lots of changes, and a couple of new scenes, and that awful CGI-deer is gone. Whew.

8) STAR TREK VI: THE EXTENDED EDITION
Rather than mostly deleted scenes, this movie incorporates much of the scenes from the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Flashback" into Star Trek VI, precisely to the point in the movie where they would occur. (This would be rather difficult to pull off, as it requires removing Captain Janeway from the picture and letterboxing the TV footage to match the film foootage perfectly)

9) EXORCIST BOX-SET: HYBRED EDITION
The four original Exorcist movies (The Exorcist, Exoricst II: The Hertic, Exorcist III: Legion, and Exorcist: The Beginning) are recut from various versions of their releases (including all three versions of Exorcist II and Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen compared with "The Exorcist: 25th Annivesary Edition), to create a "best of" version of all four films. The most extensive changes would be creating a hybred of Exorcist: The Beginning and "Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist" (almost entirely differently movies) and creating a movie that incorporates the best of both worlds. Also difficult to find (and never commerially released) was William Peter Blatty's original cut of "Legion", that would have to be blended with the existing "Exorcist III"
