This is a fan edit of the movie Boss Level tht I havejust finished and released on everones favourite organ, this was an enjoyable movie in it’s own right but I thought it lacked a kick ass soundtrack and needed a few tweeks here and there.
I used the TV cut of the movie and the blu ray as there are different cuts only minor but the endings are different, Strangley no release in the States which is a shame.
I’ve called this edit the Groove cut thats to the replacement music I’ve added in.
List of some of the changes to many minor cuts to list.
The opening uses the TV cut logos then an added Groove Cut logo added
We then jump into the Blu Ray this opening fight and descruction has music replacement I have added a blend of Jonny Cash’s Gods Gunna Cut you Down but remixed with Marilyn Masons version along with the instrumental version.
I also added in some effects such as helicopter, bullets and impact sounds.
A few moments later during the car chase with the female assasins I removed the original music and replaced with Blondies One Way or Another Instrumental version.
When our hero Roy is recapping on the looped events and the assasins after him I trimmed a few seconds here and there and added in the song I Gotcha by Joe Tex.
We then have some trims to the introduction of Mel Gibson few seconds and some reworked lines to get to the point of the story.
I then trimmed a special effect shot of a car exploding twice the effect not that great so now just the once.
The biggest trims are the introduction of Roy’s wife and Brett and Mr Gibson, this drags the plot down with filler talk so reduced this down to the elements of the story.
The next trims and additional music is in the bar with Roy and the girl he has picked up, I have added background music of Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield.
This scene was extended on the Blu Ray and trimmed on the TV cut but both versions drag the pace down so I have edited to the story ellements.
We continue until Roy remembers his wifes present to try and escape the loop this is edited to make it more fun with his constant deaths and assasin chases in the car so a few trims here and there and added new music of Highway to Hell by AC/DC
I then fixed a loop hole in the story with his son scene, Spoiler…His son is alive after Roy is shot muliple times whilst Roy is holding him but later in the film it is revealed his son died at this shoot out so I fixed this error, you don’t see the son once Roy is shot.
Anotherbitof fun I had is Roy’s attempts to get into the bad guys security complex with multiple attemps whilst been killed each time, I trimmed a few lines and few seconds here and there and added in the song I Can’t Hardly Take It by Charlie Feathers.
After Roy get sword lessons we have the showdown with the female sword assasin, I have changed the musicand added in Woo Hoo by the 5,6,7,8’s
The last music change and edits per say is when Roy revisits his son multiple time to play arcade games, I trimmed taking scenes to let the music and play scenes do the talking, I added in the song For What its Worth by Buffalo Springfield, this plays until the nuclear explosion.
We then continue until the end where I have changed the blu Ray ending to that of the TV cut with Roy knowing he has to fight one more time to live, we then blend into the credits how ever I replaced 98% of the cridit music with The Rolling Stones Out of Time, The Animals We gotta get outa this Place and finally Cher with her take on Bang Bang my Baby Shot me Down.
The movie has a new Groove now.
If you know where it’s at go get it.
