Hey everyone.
There was a thread about this here originally that I came across a while back when the movie was still in theaters about some changes to the movie that could be made.
Ive got the itch to fix up the title card, opening credits and a few other things.
First though, can anyone point me in the direction of a guide for ripping and converting for Macs? The PC guide is great, but I cant run any of that stuff.
So heres the basic gist of what I want to do.
1. Remove the entire title card and replace it with one that matches Rocky 1 (I prefer the white text of Rocky, but others may like the yellow from 2, What do you guys think?) as well as replace Rocky Balboa with Rocky VI.
2. I personally dont like the title credits that show blurry images of Philadelphia set to Take it Back.
3. Obviously insert the ending to Rocky V after the title card. Then fade to the scene of Rocky waking up, bypassing the title credits.
So basically - Rocky 1 style title crawl (with Fanfare for Rocky), Rocky V ending, fade to Rocky waking up.
Would a small location / year indication card be appropriate in between the Rocky V ending and Rocky VI starting (like was used in Rocky 1) since the movie takes place so long after Rocky V?
4. Remove the remixed rocky music from the end of the film during the credits. Replace it with something more downbeat and somber like Rocky’s Reward or Reflections. Or Rockys Reward > Reflections > Philadelphia Morning.
5. I would need to see the film again to see how possible it would be, but I really really really really despised the HBO branded prefight stuff. Probably wouldnt be a good idea to cut it, but all the same, if its possible Id like to see it gone.
Im going to start practicing cutting some preliminary stuff from a divx rip of the dvd just so I can get my bearings with it and so I can just jump in and figure out what needs to go where and how without going through the who conversion process yet. And so I can upload bits and pieces to youtube for feedback easier.
What do you guys think though? Anything else that should be changed? (Adding in a Clubber flashback during the last fight was another suggestion I remember).
