First off I'm grateful for the efforts, and grateful for the folks who are willing to mail these out for free!

As for my feedback on the cuts:

To be honest, I always felt the "Fairytale ending" was part of the movie and should have been included (or the option to watch it WITH the rest of the movie) in either version.

The "extended Fairytale ending" was cool, but I could tell immediately which parts were fan made from the "Special Edition" cut footage (where Lambert is just on wires in front of a blue screen) because it appears purple, whereas the original (European theatrical/TV cut) footage was blue. So that could be worked on a bit.


I was glad to see all the Zeistian footage, some of it I hadn't seen in years, since my pan 'n' scan impulse buy VHS experience back in 1993! And there some I don't remember ever having seen before...

I wish somebody had cut the stupid "bang against the wall" scene. That always bugged me. Ah well. There's always "the Serious Edition."

What is it about this (bad) movie that keeps me coming back for more?

Ah well, D/P owes us for all the years of annoyance... fanedits keep it tolerable.

So great job overall, but a few tweaks and it could really be great!
