I am losing track with all the SW edits. What is the best ANH edit that utilizes the Biggs footage, Anchorhead, etc… into the film?

Also has anyone seen that edit from that guy in Germany where he went as far as creating footage for his SW ANH edit? His name is escapes me at the moment. He has a website that even includes trailers of his edits.

When I got my first VCR in '84 I would leave a tape in the machine available to tape anything that came up of interest. This could have been clips of movies, interviews, etc.. I know I have the broadcast premier of Aliens, Star Wars, The Thing, etc.. I know I have stuff from the USA Channel's old show from Fridays and Saturdays called Night Flight and other misc stuff. I want to look into a nice SVHS VCR to do my transfers. I have an okay model that does a decent job. But searching all those tapes might take a long time and I want to do it right from the start.

Completely different. DM is more of a documentary. DM isn't all B&W. The virtual lost cut could be all B&W and silent missing most if not all space sequences. You could be creative an borrow scenes from other movies to create "lost" footage. For example lift some desert scenes from another film. Or as someone else mentioned dogfight footage from early B&W films to be the "space" battles. Doesn't the Lost Cut utilize dog fight footage from old movies? I thought I remember reading that. Also those creative people could create some effects of their own to incorporate. Who knows.

Now I know it isn’t feasibly possible to truely re-create the lost cut since probably 1/2 of the footage in it has nver been leaked. But has anyone ever thought, just for fun, to create a vitual version?

The Lost Cut was B&W and silent from what I remember reading. Didn’t feature any space battles and featured alternate “live” special effects for some shots.

Why not create a version in rough B&W, being creative using maybe footage from other films who knows, to create a rough cut. Maybe it would even run much shorter.

Maybe this is a dumb Idea. But we have so many fan edits of the SW films why not something weird like this?

Any thoughts??

Ha ha ha... have you ever tried filing a refund claim with Paypal?



I have one from 2 years ago that paypal and ebay have totally blown off. And that was a case where the seller sold me a pirate DVD that they claimed as real.

Most of the deleted scenes on Quad disc 2 are 16:9 and 5.1 transfers, since they were originally intended for inclusion in the director's cut. Scott decided against the longer version in the end, but they could certainly be re-incorporated - in fact, there's plenty more bits and pieces that could be cut back in (though with quite a variation in quality - some of the deleted scenes are non-anamorphic, while those included in the laserdisc section are letterboxed 4:3 windowboxed in 16:9! )


I have a version called Alien Redux that runs approx 24 min longer. It utilizes the alternate soundtrack so that the editing is smoother (No choppy music like on previous VHS cuts done when the laserdisc was released). Most of the alternate/deleted footage from the 9 disc box set and Alien Legacy DVD is used. Some of the bits are just a few seconds while others are more extended. For example the chestburster scene is over a minute longer. Bret's death features the alien's tail going to his back cut from the Lambert death scene...Just to name a few.

The image he posted is I'm sure just something he found on the net. I seriously doubt he had a frame of the film transfered just to post in the auction.

Curious to see if this is real. Why can't he post an image of the film reel?

Hey!! I still have a super 8 camera with one roll of 3min film left. I could shoot my own edited copy of the holiday special DVD from the TV screen and sell it on ebay!!!

lololololl

That would be truely one huge project. I keep thinking I'll do it. But then I think about it for a minute and realize I am only human.

How aobut this?? Edit Night, Dawn, Day and Land into one huge 8'ish hour Dead epic? I would use the 1990 version of Night due to it being in color (easier to incorporate). The films would overlap each other rather than one ending and the next starting. For example the helecopter that flies overhead at the end of Night 90 could be used to merge the scene from Dawn where they fly over the readnecks shooting the zombies.

Just a thought.

But I'm still hoping someone will do an extended Dawn.

That's what I was thinking. Otherwise the R18 cut must be nearly 2 hours if it has all the footage. I doubt there is currenlty a version out there that has all the footage edited together.
