My first Fan-Edit on my own (it’s in s*itty WMV)

What’s It About?

This is a fan-edit of, in my opinion, a very underlooked KR movie, Knight Rider 2000 (since Knight Rider is returning with a new pilot movie starring David Hasselhoff in a cameo role, we may as well welcome it’s return with a fanedit), this time it tries to make better use of the danger of the handgun conspiracy, putting it at the beggining of the film in a lengthy pre-opening sequence.

Also edited out is the nonsensical death of Devon Miles, restoring Edward Mulhare to the living for the entirety of the movie. He simply remains the moderative mentor caught between Micheal and Maddock

Original film name: Knight Rider 2000
New film name: Knight Rider 2000: One Cut CAN Make A Difference
Film studio name: Universal Pictures
Edit crew name: Zarius
Date original film was released: May 19th 1991
Date edit was released: Febuary 2008
Original runtime: 1h 36 mins
New runtime: 1h 23 mins
Amount of time Cut/Added: 13 minutes cut, several scenes shuffled around

Cuts removed/added/extended:

-Title Sequence and Hasselhoff/Mulhare credits pushed back, allowing Watt’s release from cryogenic imprisonment and Shawn’s actions during the handgun seige that kills the Mayor to take center fold

-After the city switches from night to day, we go to the Knight 4000 demo meeting.

-Devon’s death and funeral have been cut

-Micheal punching Maddock has been cut

-Devon waits until the conclusion of the movie to congratulate Maddock, Maddock’s lines about losing faith in human beings and never expecting respect work better as a moment of closure in the movie

-No James Doohan

-Minor scenes have been shuffled around.

-Micheal morning Devon’s death is cut. Instead it’s edited to look like Maddock is showing off K.I.F.T to Devon near Micheal’s country ranch, whilst Micheal and Shawn are hanging around the area, with Micheal pissed off about K.I.T.T’s condition. The scene ends when Shawn says she needs Micheal and that he has shown superior traits over her.

Granted, I dont think this should just be exclusivley me , but other people. Anyone thinking of making Bond movies out of other films starring the actors?

For example, a viable candidate would be a hybrid cut of Peirce Brosnan’s movies “Death Train” and “The Thomas Crown Affair”, or just Death Train and THCA on their own

I watched Death Train recently, and it’s almost entirely a Bond film. Political relevence…even Christopher Lee is in it…and the possibility of “reacasting” Patrick Stewart’s character in it as “M” is almost impossible to ignore.

So, besides “The Rock” for Connery, any other films you guys would like to redevelop into Bond movies? These edits would be a parody of the “Criterion Collection” preservations, “The Typecast Collection: No escape for or FROM Mr. Bond”

Being a first-time editor, I’m bound to have made rookie mistakes.

-Film begins with Banner’s transformation as a pre-credits scene
-Credits as normal, we turn back a little to the Gamma Sphere accident, and follow the story until we get back to the pre-credit teaser, albiet edited since we’ve seen all of the drama unfold in those scenes, then everything resumes as normal from there
-Talbots conversation with Bruce in the base removed. Best scene is when the two have their first altercation that brings out The Hulk
-Poodles removed, instead Banner as The Hulk returns to the cabin and collapses next to Betty as Bruce
-“Puny Human” scene cut from the Hulk’s descent to the water, for other reasons
-“Puny Human” scene added to the ending of the film just as Banner is angerd by the Cubans.

<span class=“Bold”>Screencap Storyboards</span>: Coming Soon

1. Titles (coming soon)
2. Second Rage (coming soon)
2. “Puny Human” ending (coming soon)

WB logo “aqauticly” dissolves into a scene underwater where the military launch a missle, it roars out of the ocean, Superman captures it, in Russia, the Soviets launch their own missles, Superman intercepts the missle and also captures it. Places missile into the giant net and hurtles them into the sun.

-Opening credits

-“Five Months Earlier” line appears as we open on Smallville, Clark finds the energy module. Clark’s entire conversation with Mr. Hornesby? Gone, but not quite edited out. All will become clear

-Luthor escapes. Lenny kills the guards

-The Warfields still buy the planet, since I actually liked the characters and the whole Clark/Lacy/Lois triangle. No Jeremy. At all.

-No UN summit as Clark decides to take the law into his own hands, the scene where he broods in front of the television consists of his conversation with the Kryptonian Elders as a “thought bubble”, (“I know I am forbidden to interfere”) with Marlon Brando’s line “you must never interfere in the course of human history”, and Glen Ford as Johnathan Kent voice echoing that Clark was here for a reason.

-The M-X missile from Superman III is used to begin Superman’s crusade. Superman hurtles himself directly into it’s path to prevent it reaching it’s target.

-Lex schemes with the weapon dealers

-Lex’s dialouge about Nuclear Man is spoken over his developing the protoplasm

-The Paris scene from Superman II is used (again!), only this time with a twist, Superman takes the elevator and dumps it on the moon. (the protoplasm is in the bomb), as the sun rises over it, Nuclear Man, fully developed , comes to life (an alternate scene HAS been put in some of the cuts though where the elevator explodes as normal, and Nuclear Man emerges from it, tell me which is better)

-Much of Superman and Nuclear Man’s battle has been shuffled around

-Clark is wounded, recovers the same way, and returns preventing another missile from being launched as a way of resurfacing with his priorities still intact. Then he confronts Nuclear Man. All of the inane s*it from the battle is cut

-The Warfields lose control of the Daily Planet, Clark makes his speech.

-Lex and Lenny are’nt captured, and escape. Final scene for them is Lex discarding Lenny’s drum sticks.

-Clark’s conversation with Horensby is here, bringing the film full circle in Smallville and ends with him smashing the baseball into orbit as a way of paroding the end sequence before it actually happens, with Superman flying into the sun.

I’ll have screencaps shortly of the cut

In order to keep the films within a sense of “continuity” with TJC, I may just scrap the Paris scene from Superman III: TJC, as it fits here MUCH better (the MX missile is’nt in TJC either, as it was a “WTF” moment)

A lot of Superman III is being tweeked by me using some of Richard Lester’s leftover Superman II footage (given I liked the Donner cut as it was), to make it much darker. Whilst a lot of the earlier material I have has been made in sloppy movie maker…but fear not, I’ve since moved up to adobe premiere.

I’ve been “locked out” of the Supermancinema forums for reasons not revealed to me…so in light of this, I’m moving the project here, where I’m sure I’ll have some help and advice from people who are more experianced with this sort of thing.

III has become steadidly more popular in contrast to it’s place in history, I think it’s due to the fact that somewhere in this movie, there DOES lie a great Superman film, all that needs to be done is to throw away certain things like humour

Here’s the breakdown as it is presently

1. The credits are in space

2. The Paris scene will serve as the opening, good little prolouge that sets up Lois’s deserved vacation after experiancing that sort of thing, set the Daily Planet footage from II before it, and the footage from III afterwards.

3. Gus Goreman’s first scene won’t even be the pre-credits sequence, but when he pulls his car up to go to work. His job won’t even be mentioned or seen, I want to make Goreman look like an eccentric, yet already succesful, computer genius who willingly goes ahead with Webster’s schemes. No comedy, because when Pryor’s serious in this movie, he has some of the best moments (when he stands up to Webster and asks him to build the computer for instance, that was just awesome, and that will be honoured here)

4. Goreman’s entire scenes in Smallville have been cut.

5. Goreman’s creation of the dark Kryptonite is’nt altered either

6. Superman does’nt save Ricky from the feilds at all. Clark departs his picnic with Lana to stop the chaos in Columbia after picking up the feirce winds with his super-hearing.

7. The first thing Evil Superman does after arriving too late to stop the Bidge, is he destroys the fourtress of solitude , then he sinks the navy barge for Webster, then he fights himself in the Junkyard (to make it seem like killing aquatic life thanks to the oil spill and condemming people to certain death if the ship sinks snaps him out of it)

9. Somewhere in between, Gus develops a conscience and tries to destroy the machine, but the thing gains indepedence as before and turns on it’s masters.

10. When Clark is thrown into the compactor, I’m going to fade to the “other” FOS scene with Clark calling out for his father, then picks up the green crystal, as if a wake up call, we cut back to Clark smashing through the compacter and strangling his evil self, winning the battle.

11. Things pretty much carry on as normal here, but by this point, Superman is fighting the computer, NOT Webster, as it fires the missles etc. Video game stuff will be minimised.

12. Superman gets in the cave, computer hits him with the Kryptonite, and I’m going to include small cuts that make it look like this is the dark Kryptonite sample, and that Superman is flasbacking to what happened when he was dosed with this the last time, and is trying to restrain himself from reliving the nightmare. I want this to look elegently chilling., then Goreman saves the day. Superman defeats and destroys the computer, as normal.

13. We end the movie with Clark’s encounter with Brad at the hotel, then Superman repairing the damage to the Naval ship (well, leaving oil to spill for hours to fight a giant computer that threatnes billions of lives beats fixing the Leaning Tower of Pisa anyday), then flying off above the planet.

14. Several scenes will use John Willams music.
