The Last Of The Mohicans NTSC (Original Version) (Released)
Time
I'm pretty sure that the theatrical cut is the same as the vhs and lasedisc one.


The VHS and Laserdisc released here in the states was completely different than the theatrical version. The overall story was the same as the theatrical version but the theatrical version had a few things that the VHS and Laserdisc were missing. The scene where Hawkeye shoots Maj. Duncan Heyward when he is on the fire was a bit longer. You got to see the bullet hole in his head. The DVD version is only a few frames shorter than the VHS and Laserdisc but those were even shorter than the Theatrical Version. The end battle on the cliff side was gorier and a bit longer and in the theatrical version we actually get to see Magua eat Col. Edmund Munro's heart! It was good stuff. Mostly it was gore that was cut from the US home video releases and nothing major. But I have yet to see that version on ANY US home video release.

If you watch any US home video version of this film you can see some of the jump cuts. Especially during the end cliff battle between Chingachgook and Magua.

OK So it's not completely different but I still want the theatrical version on DVD.

EDIT: SPELLING

Wait a minute. Is this the theatrical cut or the version that was put out on laserdisc and VHS. Because those two things are completely different. If you are going off of the original VHS and laserdisc as being the theatrical cut then you are way off. The theatrical version was so far different from the version that was put out on VHS and Laserdisc it was insane. I have yet to see the theatrical version released anywhere.

So which one is this again?

Just found this...

Universal finally got around to at least putting out the longer cut; the long-ass making of is nowhere to be seen, however Still, it's a great movie and we finally get to see it in pristine DVD quality That's never a bad thing!


That is from www.dreadcentral.com so I'm still thinking the US version of this is sans making of...

Perhaps a DVD of just the bonus stuff is in order at this point. I wouldn't sell just yet, we still might have something for those of us without region free DVD players.

Is this official that the whole thing is there? I have been looking online and I have yet to find a good link to a review that covers the extras of this disc. Anyone have the link?

Hey ReverendBeastly,
Sense my contribution to this project was a no money back donation can I at least get those other disc we discussed sent out. Drop me a PM...

Need help with DVD ripping on mac platform
Time
Head on over to http://homepage.mac.com/major4/ and download a copy of ffmpegX. It is a great converter that will convert just about anything. It is a free download but for 14 bux you can buy it and get rid of the try window that pops up when you use it. I just bought it because it's such a great utility for my mac. Take your .VOB or what have you and if you convert it to a .dv file it will open up just fine in Final Cut Pro.

Hope that helps.

Keylogger
Time
Does anyone know where to get a decent free keylogger that happens to be invisible? I had one on my computer to track changes I make to various things but I had to reformat my Hard Drive and I lost the install file for it. Now I can't find another good freeware keylogger.

And no I'm not spying on anyone. I'm the only one who uses my computer.

Thanks in advance.
